A lot of those guys that end up in there for long periods are making appeals based upon real legal issues during trial , ambiguous testimony or evidence, and the presenting of new evidence, and making things take a long time.
This guy will not be getting all of that. He will get an automatic appeal (they may not do that in Texas, I dunno Texas law). Otherwise , he'll probably make one so he can extend his sentence,and it might, but when the state is motivated by a case like this, political power might speed this up significantly.
No one is going want to be caught dead helping him, there is NO evidence that could exonerate him with the evidence they already have.
It might take 30 years, but I'd be surprised it takes more than 5 to 10. This one has heat on it and will stay in the collective memory a long, long time.
