"West Memphis Three" Plea Deal Approved by Celebrities

 Read the Article at HuffingtonPost:

"Defense attorneys, celebritie­s and legal experts have said the men are innocent."

Can we please, PLEASE, not include "celebrities" among the list of those declaring these people innocent? I understand that, as media-obsessed Americans, we are far too influenced by those who entertain us when it comes to their social and political beliefs. But sandwiching them in between defense attorneys and legal experts lends them a formal credibility that I am more than a little uncomfortable with granting.
