Okay, I'm 100% serious here - is there any sort of just-the-facts neutral piece about what's going on with this? I see plenty of partisan stuff flying around, and both sides say they have the facts and they aren't meshing together.

I only heard about this case this week. I want to know what's happening here.

1) I'm hearing 9 people from some corners, and 34 people from others. Which one is it?

2) I'm hearing 7 of 9, and I'm hearing 2 of 9, neither of which were brought up to testify in the appeals. I'm also not sure which one is true on this count.

3) I know nothing of this at this point.

That's why I'm looking for something broader. So much noise on this one.

1) Seeing it on Twitter a few places, nothing significant. If they weren't coming from places I normally trusted, I wouldn't question it.

2) These are just some of the facts I'm trying to figure out.

Not sure if you'd count the wiki page as a non-biased source or not.

I've taken a look, but the way its set up right now isn't too condusive, and Wikipedia during a tumultuous time is never a good idea.

Jen wrote at length about the case, and she said this guy has had some of the worst luck with bad lawyers, especially during the appeal hearing.

1) Ann Coulter is the only person I've seen say 34. She is hardly reliable. Also, I think she "misreads" the fact that there were 34 witnesses for the prosecution. "Witness" does not mean "eyewitness". I'm sure plenty of people testified about things other than the events of that day.

2) As far as I know it's 7 of 9. Of the two who didn't recant, based on what I heard, one was fingered as the actual culprit (and supposedly bragged about it to others).

Sadly, there just simply was not enough doubt to ever convince a judge.
