Judge Burnett has denied the motions based on newly discovered DNA evidence for new trials for Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley. Hearings for Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelly for their claims of ineffective assistance of coucncil are scheduled for later this month.
I just read on http://www.wm3.org/, that hearings scheduled for early September may be postponed. This is so frustrating. Fifteen years has been plenty long enough. I have a child that is about the age of the children murdered in this case, so I understand people having strong feelings on both sides. I don't hop on many "innocence" bandwagons. For example, Jeffrey MacDonald is guilty as hell. I don't care how many floppy hatted hippies were running around Fayetville on February 17, 1970. In this case though, I don't believe these boys, now men, murdered anyone. Even if I did believe in their guilt, the evidence at the Echols/Baldwin trial would be hilarious material for a mockumentary were it not all to real (for months after I saw PL, I actually thought it was a mockumentary about the justice system).
If you don't know about the case, you should do some searches and get a sense of the case. Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills is a great documentary to start with. There are a couple of books devoted to the case from different perspectives.
