Just skimmed the two sites. First:
It's hard to be very confident after skimming for 30-40min. I don't have the expertise or the time to verify many of the statements made by either side, especially DNA evidence and the like, but the prosecution looks pretty weak. The DNA evidence against the defense doesn't seem to hold up, and the fact that the defendant's stories are inconsistent over time show that they have the memory of, well, humans.
I should also mention that I probably have a bias for the defense in cases like this.
Any thoughts on why that might be the case?
I'm more or less a libertarian.
