Day 2 of the hearing by the NC Innocence Inquiry Commission into the innocence claims of the four defendants convicted in the murder of Chris Paul's grandfather just concluded. It's riveting. https://t.co/SSZmJNEK8z

“I’m so sorry for what happened,” Black explained to the commission, which is tasked with reviewing the case and then determining whether the young men were falsely convicted of murder. “I am so sorry for (Jones’ family’s) loss, and I’m sorry that things went like they did … I’m just sorry.”
Innocence Commission hearing, murder of Nathaniel Jones, Day 1, pt. 2 LIVE. Interesting development. Jones was brutally murdered on November 15, 2002. Five teenage neighbors of Mr. Jones were arrested just five days later. No DNA evidence connects them to the crime. pic.twitter.com/BaFSpwPzdT

The men, now in their 30s, were just 14 and 15 when they were convicted.
A local NBC affiliate reports that on March 13 the commission ruled there was sufficient evidence to recommend new trials for the men. A panel of three superior court judges will decide whether they should be exonerated.
Can’t be easy for CP3 to have to relive this whole thing all over again.
