Within hours, the news broke on the internet.
The morning papers and online news sites exploded with headlines:
"JUSTICE SYSTEM EXPOSED: Four Women Wrongfully Imprisoned have finally been released through justice!"
"Corruption in the Courts: How Bad Evidence Destroyed Innocent Lives"
"The Rotten Core of Our Legal System: A Case Study in Failure"
