Innocent on everything. These cops had some personal problems with him or his family that probably go back for generations. I personally believe all parties from prior cases were going to get their retirements taken away and current cops from the old case were going to be fired or demoted and made to look like idiot thugs. So, an opportunity presented itself and said "setup" took place.
The problem is the guy isn't likable, or well presented and looks disheveled. Not a high I.Q. or a way to articulate himself correctly. Watching his mannerisms, he isn't a stone cold killer that snapped all-of-a-sudden. They took advantage of that 16-year-old to confess to something he didn't partake in because he was the weakest link. And they had opportunity to stage DNA and evidence after how many times th entered his property? The crime is too perfect for a dummy.
And if you want to see another travesty of justice, look up The West Memphis 3. They got it worse!
