re: West Memphis three

We'll never know unfortunately. The evidence on the scene was not terribly convincing in connecting anyone to the murders, and after that the police and prosecutors made an absolute idiotic muck out of it.

I did watch the documentary and saw that girl testify she was walking by Echols and heard him 'confess.' Honestly I didn't believe her, it sounded like dumb schoolgirl gossip she had just repeated and then gotten cornered into having to testify that she heard it herself after she probably embellished the story (that is, most likely she did see him at a game; she had heard and repeated the rumors; she probably added on to it, by claiming she had heard him say it. Probably felt cool to say that when gossiping with friends. But then, she got a subpoena- oops, she now had to go tell the story to a jury because she couldn't admit she had made it up). But, I wasn't on the jury, what do I know. I guess they believed her.

The documentary I watched definitely had a point of view. But, I have learned not to believe these documentaries about cases, especially when they make the evidence seem so clear. Basically all of them are leaving out lots of evidence that goes against their preferred theory.

So I just go back to- this was a disastrously handled case and we will never know what happened.
