I'm confused. Since I have no dealings whatever with this case - and I would hazard a guess that neither has anyone else who posts here, or if they do they should not post for legal reasons - then I don't know what I or anyone else can usefully contribute.

Were the confessions false and the alleged perpetrators innocent? Don't know, and neither do you. Were the confessions real and the alleged perpetrators guilty? Don't know, and neither do you. Is she now retracting a false story because of guilt at innocent people being jailed, or retracting a true story out of fear (of who?), pressure (from where?) or some other unknown factor? Don't know, and neither do you. Why are the lawyers not discussing their plans? Don't know, and neither do you. Why did none of the seven defendants appeal their convictions? Don't know, and neither do you. Why would the woman in this case confess to lying when she knows that could land her in jail - if she didn't lie ... or if she really did? Don't know, and neither do you.

Have I missed something?
