Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why is my thumb suddenly swollen? I haven't jammed it or strained it in the last ten minutes, but the base of the joint is rapidly swelling and becoming tender. The fuck? It's the same side as the IV, but the IV was in the forearm.

I need to check with my acquaintance that was assigned to guard Echols during the original trial and ask what he thinks of this. At the time, he was fairly convinced the guy was guilty.

My brothers are having a party tonight, it has absolutely nothing to do with me, and yet I basically want to throttle all their friends. They sent out the invitations three weeks ago, and this past week have texted all of them every day asking "will you be on time?" and "are you eating dinner here?". Not only did the vast majority not respond, they are all pretending not to know what time it starts, only 2 people are bothering to show up for dinner even though before they all said they were so we bought tons of food, and NOW one of of them is having the audacity to say "can you buy some sprite, orange juice, and cranberry juice?". Honestly! We bought four 12-packs of soda yesterday, and so we told them if they wanted anything additional they can bring it themselves, and now they're upset.

I so wish I had an elsewhere to be this evening. I get the distinct feeling this party is going to be an absolute train wreck.

Is there a movie theater nearby that you could enjoy a double feature at?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Are these people all grownups? (I mean, I know the answer is actually no, but chronologically?)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

At the time, he was fairly convinced the guy was guilty.

There's no evidence that he did it, with the exception of a forced/retracted confession from another kid with a 70 IQ.

But man, that plea situation seems like a fairly shitty deal, being out of prison notwithstanding.

Eh, they're all between 20 and 23. So sort of?

Wow, I had forgotten all about that story. It's weird to read about it now -- satanic rituals really were the Big Bad there for a while, weren't they?

Yeah, it only took three documentaries, the involvement of some of the world's most famous musicians, millions of dollars raised, multiple witness recantations, pressure from the families of the victims, exclusion by DNA plus no evidence, and 18 years to get three clearly innocent kids released from jail.
