That kinda reminds of Rubin Carter. If they let them go after all these years, they lose face. It's almost like admitting they made a mistake. Some people have a real problem with that. Especially if they are rednecks who arrested innocent black people, or the wrong black people. To them it doesn't matter, as long as they are black, they're guilty.
I'm not saying that's the case here, but it sure sounds like it. And it wouldn't be the first time something like that happened, that's why i brought up Rubin Carter.
