Leaving aside that he is guilty of murder, he has been given retrial after retrial after retrial and every single time he has been declared guilty. Meanwhile there are people languishing in jail or prison because their lawyers and the judge don't want to look at DNA evidence, new evidence, re-interview witnesses, etc.
I literally cannot think of a prisoner anywhere that has been given more slack within my lifetime.
