Great HBO Documentary about the West Memphis Three. A huge injustice and "satanic panic" cost three pariahs their freedom. Shoddy police work and some interesting suspects that were ignored. Three little eight year old boys, horribly murdered lie in their graves waiting for justice. I am deep into the WM3 phenomena and there is no doubt in my mind that the three incarcerated men are innocent. It can be found in segments on YouTube. Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills Paradise Lost 2: Revelations
I saw that when that was on HBO, it was a looong time ago... It was sad that these kids were convicted of a crime that it was obvious that they didn't commit... And now they found no DNA at the crime scene that matched any of those three boys that were convicted.. But they did find a hair that belonged to one of the victim's stepfather tied into the rope that was used to bind them...And yet they do NOTHING! Interesting stuff that they never questioned or looked into... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Memphis_Three hope you don't mind me posting that link...
Thanks for the link. I read through it and found a new bit of information I didn't know. It is interesting how myopic the investigation became after the satanic ritual theory materialized. It was like they dropped all their other leads and went straight after the Three. The Leo's went so far as to change the case number from 93-05-0555 to 93-05-0666. Another good site for documents is Callahan.8k.com. At the very least, the Three deserve a new trial. I think the jurors already had them tried and fried before the trial started. They also go with the assumption that Robin Hood was a murder scene. It's almost obvious that it was a dump-site. The three murdered boys deserve true justice. I won't go as far as to pass judgement on an entire state, but I had to go down there to pick up a car with another hippy friend and everywhere we stopped, we were treated like shit.
