I agree with both of you.. If they are released, they need compensation, but there is no way you can compensate for taking away over 20 years of a persons life.
I hope they re open the trial based on the DNA found at the scene belonging to one of the victims fathers and his best friend.
They will probably never do that though, and the murderer will continue to be free.
No matter how you look at it, it's not really justice to release them now but it's a start.
