I'm sure they have guilt pangs about that case, but they can hardly be blamed for it. And I definitely don't see why their work as a whole should be called into question (and that's exactly what you were doing). Should they throw up their hands and say, "Well, this doesn't work. Everyone is going to commit a heinous crime at some point in their lives, so it doesn't matter when they do it. Let 'em all rot, guilty or not-yet-guilty."
So, maybe you can tell us if your points consisted of something deeper than (i) it isn't always black people and (ii) I hope those meddlesome professors are happy with their work freeing innocent people.
Because if there isn't, it would seem like you were just upset because some prick raped and murdered your friend's friend. And, while that is certainly understandable, I still don't get what it has to do with turning over false convictions.

1 After reading Thurgreed's first post i googled, and imaged the names of the relesed guys. the first four were black guys and I quit,
2 That one released guy might do a crime isn't surprising- the cops often start by looking at the pool of people who had done similar crimes- especially in sex offenses. Doesn't change the fact that the guy didn't do the last one. Maybe these guys should argue if you seem the sort that might do sex crimes we can lock you up, but by the current law the guy needed to walk.
3 do you think being in jail for a few decades might make a previously decent person capable of doing bad things?
