If they were guilty, why did they do it?


Was any reason ever given?

Satanic ritual sacrifice. The same basic argument made at the Salem witch trials. No, really. Satanic rituals were also cited as motives by the prosecution in the Amanda Knox case and some of the daycare child sex abuse cases. In fact, it seems that a majority of the most obvious miscarriages of justice in recent memory have satanic rituals at the center of the prosecution. It is truly mind-boggling that this still goes on.

Well with the testimony of Dale Griffis as a "Satanic Cult Expert" it was no surprise that they were convicted...I meant that sarcastically btw.

That is the explanation given according the testemonies of Miskelly. You have to accept that the WM3 are indeed guilty to make this statement true. As soon as you place questionmarks at the conviction, it becomes very fuzzy what anyone's motive could have been.
