Why were they released, and given 40 million dollars? Is this part of due process?. I don't want to see rapists, wife beaters and murderers set free, or guilty people let off the hook. Due process of law is The Trump way. Right IB? Isn't that what Donald is saying about his (former) secretary Rob Porter? Lets not ruin his career. He said he didn't do it. Trump wants due process for Everyone!! ( including domestic battery). I'm confused. Does he want due process for everyone or just certain people?

The defendants were convicted not only for attacking the jogger, but for assaulting others as well. The other victims included a man beaten into unconsciousness with a pipe. No evidence contradicts these convictions. For the most part they were confirmed by the defendants and have never been specifically denied.
Two crime scenes exist relating to the attack on the jogger. This supports the theory that while the defendants did not participate in the rape, they were involved, to some degree, in a preceding and less-serious attack on the woman. They now deny any involvement in any such attack. Their original incriminating statements, while generally descriptive of what seems to have occurred at the first crime scene, lack crucial details of the second–such as the huge amount of blood, and that the jogger was found tied up in her own T-shirt.
• Coerced stories. The defendants’ current claim that they were told by police interrogators what to say is undermined by the absence, in their statements at the time, of lurid details of the second crime scene.
There is no evidence that police or prosecutors coerced the defendants or fed them stories.
