I’m still torn about who slaughtered these young boys. If there families were rich and powerful we would already know. Talked to West Memphis police officer about 5 years ago and he told me Echols and Misskelly were involved. I don’t think that Baldwin had anything to do with it. Coming up on 30 years for this case. Ok fire away

I don't really care. Those kids shouldn't have been so weird and suspicious

Also all 3 got released from prison on Alford pleas. Story is over.

Yep. One of their dad's and also one of their stepdads was also very suspicious. Very sad case.

They liked Metallica and Guns N Roses. Obviously worship Satan and guilty.

They killed those kids but Hollywood still moved heaven and earth to get them freed. They left out a SHITLOAD of evidence in their multiple documentaries and the public was duped. Makes you think.

To this day, they are convicted killers. They didn't get exonerated or pardoned. They signed an admission of guilt before being released.

And what does 'totally not satanist' Echols do now? He sells spell books and occult shite on the internet.

Because the documentaries wanted you to be.

"Hey, these kids only got convicted because they wore black clothes and listened to heavy metal. Don't judge a book by its cover. Now, look over here and judge these local rednecks by the way they dress and talk."

Exactly. What teenaged kid is not weird and somewhat awkward to some degree?

They had to sign it to get Echols off death row.
The state had zero evidence.
In a follow up it showed evidence the step dad of one of the boys was near the creek during the time of the murders. I don’t remember all the facts, but there was a deposition with the step dad.

Those three didn’t kill those kids.

“It can now be tested, to see who left DNA at the crime scene. My attorney was in the evidence room and saw it with his own eyes. Every piece is still there.”

”He found what we were looking for, the ligatures that bound the children. The sneaker ligatures in which Terry Hobbs’ DNA was found in,” Soury said.


I always thought it was Hobbs. Evidence supports it.

Sorry i try to avoid posting here. Not enough is made of this information.

I think they were doing this to enhance their personas. Doesnt mean they did it. These dudes probably should not be hanging out at softball games. Totally guilty of sotfball game thugery.

Not sure someone who’s guilty of killing someone, freed from jail continues to prove their innocence.

quote:

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (WMC) - The Arkansas Supreme Court has ruled in favor of an appeal made by one of the West Memphis Three, ruling against the Arkansas Attorney General’s efforts to delay a decision to refuse DNA testing using state-of-the-art M-vac technology in a nearly 30-year-old murder case. Damien Echols is still attempting to prove his innocence in the 1993 murder of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas.


quote:

“Ten years ago, I had no choice but to take an Alford plea to get off death row,” Echols said. “I needed to fight for my innocence, and that of Jason and Jesse, outside of the prison walls. And that is why I sought to test the evidence in the case to exonerate us and lead to the real killer(s). Once we made inquiries to the West Memphis Police to turn over the evidence in the case for advanced testing, we were told that the evidence disappeared. While the state continues to fight that effort, we are hopeful that the Arkansas Supreme Court will recommend that the Circuit allow DNA testing.”

They had a shitload of evidence.

For example, aside from the several lies Echols told at the trial, during the interrogation, police asked him what he thought the killers did to the kids. He said the killer 'probably' cut up their genitals and pissed in their mouths. And wouldn't you know it? The kids had mutilated genitals and piss in their stomachs.

How about at the time, Echols was living with his former stepfather, who molested his sister, after his birth family had him institutionalized because they feared for their lives? You didn't know that either, did you?

Maybe expand your investigation to beyond the Hollywood documentaries.

Then why as of a month ago is Echols still pushing the state to examine evidence?



That’s your evidence? Where’s the DNA? You know real evidences, not conflicting stories from a child to a detective and witnesses who didn’t like him.

DNA tested between December 2005 and September 2007 failed to link the men to the crime, and the state Supreme Court ruled in November 2010 that all three could present new evidence to the trial court in an effort to clear them, something pre-empted by the plea deals.

The material included hair from a ligature used to bind Moore and a hair recovered from a tree stump near where the bodies were found, court documents said.

The hair found in the ligature was consistent with Branch’s stepfather, Terry Hobbs, while the hair found on the tree stump was consistent with the DNA of a friend of Hobbs’, according to the documents.

Police have never considered Hobbs a suspect and he maintains that he had nothing to do with the murders.

Three witnesses who resided next to one of the victims filed affidavits in October 2009 with the Arkansas Supreme Court saying they saw the second-graders with Terry Hobbs the night before the bodies were found by police.
