More than 30 years after one of Austin’s most horrific crimes, a Texas judge has formally declared four men innocent in the 1991 rape and murder of four teenage girls at a yogurt shop that was later set on fire, as reported by the New York Post.

For decades, Robert Springsteen, Michael Scott, Forrest Welborn, and Maurice Pierce maintained they had nothing to do with the killings of Amy Ayers, 13; Eliza Thomas, 17; and sisters Jennifer and Sarah Harbison, ages 17 and 15

The girls were bound, gagged, and shot in the head at the “I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt” store, where two of them worked. The building was then set ablaze.

On Thursday, state District Judge Dayna Blazey formally told Scott and Welborn in a packed courtroom that “you are innocent.”
She described her order as “an obligation to the rule of law and the obligation to the dignity of the individual.”

Prosecutors apologized during the emotional hearing and acknowledged the men had been wrongly accused in a case that haunted Austin for decades.

"You were wrongfully accused, and you are innocent. I am so sorry."
Travis County District Attorney José Garza apologized to the men wrongly accused in the 1991 Yogurt Shop Murders.
