UNDATED (KAIT) – Jason Baldwin's attorneys have recently sent a letter to Second Judicial District Prosecutor Scott Ellington claiming forensic scientists have reanalyzed fibers collected from the West Memphis 3 investigation.

In fact, the scientists claim that the initial opinion of these fibers were wrong, and said that the fibers "should have been clearly described as unrelated to the fibers that were taken from Echol's and Baldwin's residences during the investigation."
