Good.

People rarely get apologized to just because charges are dropped against them.

Was O.J. Simpson apologized to when the criminal case fell through? Nope because many people still felt he was guilty even if the "glove didn't fit" or there may've been evidence planted. But the civil case was successful which lets us know that the legal realm has all sorts of loopholes.

In your opinion, are these boys guilty? Do you think they did it?

I haven't formed an opinion on their guilt or innocence. I tend not to form opinions because I strongly believe in waiting for the legal system.
