Brothers possibly innocent after 25 years in prison

I don't know whether this has made national news at all because I haven't checked, but all of our local media are covering this story.

Basic info: Two brothers (11 months age difference), both 46 years old, are out of prison on bond after serving 25 years following murder convictions. Additional witnesses have come forward stating that the perpetrators were African American but the brothers who were convicted are Caucasian. The original conviction has been thrown out and there will be a new trial.

Reporters from various news sources are reporting a lot about how these men are adjusting to life outside prison walls after 25 years behind bars. They have no idea how to use cell phones, had never seen a TV picture in HD, didn't know how to use the Internet... on and on.

If these new witnesses are legit and they were really imprisoned for 25 years when they were not guilty of this crime, then I really feel for these men. I cannot imagine...
