Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen have been in prison for nearly a decade, despite no physical evidence of their guilt, on the basis of false testimony, the "confessions" that they gave under police coercion - in Scott's case, at gunpoint, as is shown on video. Over 50 men have made similar "confessions" to their crime, many of whom did not even appear in court. Certain pieces of evidence that would have been essential to the defense of Scott or Springsteen were not even tested by DNA analysts. Finally, the fingerprints and DNA found at the scene point to a still unknown perpetrator, NOT SCOTT OR SPRINGSTEEN, by the state's own admission.
We, the people of Texas, demand an end to this injustice and that the charges against the innocent Scott and Springsteen be dropped, so that they may return home to their waiting families. The guardians of the law have the power and the duty to put a stop to this wrongdoing - PLEASE FREE SCOTT AND SPRINGSTEEN.
