from wm3.org:

Shortly after three eight-year-old boys were found mutilated and murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas, local newspapers stated the killers had been caught. The police assured the public that the three teenagers in custody were definitely responsible for these horrible crimes. Evidence?

The same police officers coerced an error-filled “confession” from Jessie Misskelley Jr., who is mentally handicapped. They subjected him to 12 hours of questioning without counsel or parental consent, audio-taping only two fragments totaling 46 minutes. Jessie recanted it that evening, but it was too late— Misskelley, Jason Baldwin and Damien Echols were all arrested on June 3, 1993, and convicted of murder in early 1994.

Although there was no physical evidence, murder weapon, motive, or connection to the victims, the prosecution pathetically resorted to presenting black hair and clothing, heavy metal t-shirts, and Stephen King novels as proof that the boys were sacrificed in a satanic cult ritual. Unfathomably, Echols was sentenced to death, Baldwin received life without parole, and Misskelley got life plus 40.

For over 13 years, The West Memphis Three have been imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit. Echols waits in solitary confinement for the lethal injection our tax dollars will pay for. They were all condemned by their poverty, incompetent defense, satanic panic and a rush to judgment.

Yeah I didn't think part 2 would have that same kick in the gut feel...but I still can't wait to see it.

About freeing them tho..... How could they live in normal society after spended half of their lives in prision?

Damien has been in solitary for 13 + years... I just don't see how freeing him at this point could be possible.

it is insane that these 3 people have spent almost half their lives imprisoned for a crime that it is virtualy impossible they had anything to do with.

2 actually is more of a kick in the gut because of the evidence. it really will piss you off that this insane malfunction of justice is allowed to continue. but it's not as emotional as the first, and once you have suffered the details of the murders in the first one, you are kind of free from suffering it agian in the second one. it's more powerful than the first, but in a different way.

So is there any chance in hell that this will go back to trial so these kids [men] can be released?
