The saga is still ongoing. There were a massive number of wrongful
prosecutions and convictions, and it will take years to overturn them all.

It is a sad situation that it took a TV show to get justice
for these people.  Same is true here in the US these days :(

I remember hearing about this ages ago, but the people affected
were pretty much "screaming in the wind" back then.  I then
started seeing news everywhere and I heard it was due to a
documentary aired on TV.  Crazy times.
