Normally, I'd agree with you and the other posters here. But one alarming thing is bothering me about this... the surviving kid initially claimed that it was 3-4 guys and when he saw Cooper on the TV said it wasn't him. Then he changed his story later...
Does this sound familiar? Like how the cops have "suggested" to kids certain things to get them to claim that they were sexually molested when it didn't happen. If not for this, I'd say put the guy to sleep but this bothers me. I think that the courts may have made the right decision this one rare time.

There were three hispanics that came looking for work earlier in the day. that is what he saw. He was 8 at the time. His memory did need some time to recover and when it did (similar to Elizabeth's Smart's sister) he remembered a bushy haired person. Looking at Cooper's picture from that time...definitely bushy haired.
