What leaves you with no doubt?

The confessions. There were several.
Fiber evidence on the victims.
Bloody necklace linking the killers and victims.
Wax evidence linking Damien to victims.
Blood evidence at the scene of the murders.
Three knots tied by three different people.

Absolutely, 100% without a doubt.

Mr. Bojangles is the most likely suspect but because of shoddy police work he'll never be found.

And there were other viable suspects besides the Bojangles guy, the ice-cream man and his friend who bolted town. The investigation was a colossal frick-up and it evolved into a modern-day witch hunt.

When did echols and or Baldwin confess?

Jessie confessed multiple times.

His cellmate wrote a letter to the prosecutor begging him to keep Jessie in prison.

quote:

October 24, 1994: A cell mate of Jessie’s named Michael Johnson wrote to prosecutor Brent Davis begging him to keep Jessie behind bars. He said Jessie told him details of the crime. He described Jessie as a “cold, morbid person.” Johnson got all the facts correct, except one. He told Davis that the WM3 left a woman’s “nightgown” at the scene. No nightgown was found at the scene. However, fibers consistent with Jason Baldwin’s mother’s bathrobe were found on one of the victims. Maybe Jessie called the bathrobe a “nightgown” while mentioning it was a piece of evidence linking the WM3 to the crime. Perhaps Johnson just got this fact a bit mixed up in his retelling of Jessie’s morbid tale. You can read Johnson’s letter at the following link.

They interviewed Misskelley for hours...like 6-8, eh?

He has an IQ that is about on par with a balloon. FORCED confession.

The West Memphis Police Department stepped all over each others' dicks and missed evidence, clues, and needed to solve a case quickly. Voila! Poor blacks do not "sacrifice" kids...but white trash head bangers do!

The "Satanic Orgy" was also done by critters throughout that polluted creek.

i remember thinking one of those moms had a kinda trashy milfy thing going on.,


iv'e been by there where they were murdered. it's kinda surreal

they didn'[t do it. i think it was the dad of the one

Nah, he calls everybody a dumbass who dares to counter the notion that these kids weren't deliberately railroaded because they dressed funny, so you'd better agree with him or you are stupid.

I can tell he is one of the types who was totally influenced by the documentary films and the fan worship that developed around Echols. I don't know if they did it or not, but anyone saying it's clear cut that they didn't do it and there was no legitimate evidence to charge them in the first place is delusional.

That being said, there wasn't enough evidence to convict them and the police and investigators did a horrible job. Multiple false witness testimonies against the WM3 that later were admitted to be false. That's not on the prosecution, people straight up lied on these kids for whatever reasons. And Misskelley's multiple confessions, including a supposed confession AFTER his trial to the officer's transporting him from the courthouse.

It was a weird case with surprisingly little evidence to be found at the crime scene and no obvious motives. Add in Misskelley's confessions, false witness testimony of Damien speaking about his involvement, and the general bizarre behavior from Damien in general and the WM3 were extremely viable suspects.

But after watching a documentary series with episodes 2 and 3 basically entirely driven by a WM3 support organization and near sycophant following, it's common for people to regurgitate this bullshite that the Christian state simply threw them out to the gallows because they were "weird" and "different."

Just finished all three of these over the weekend, and West of Memphis as well. They made a pretty compelling case for Hobbs. None of those really mentioned the Bojangles guy incident.

Even at the time with the lack of testing, etc., those kids got a raw deal. There was no way they should have been convicted. All the experts they brought in in recent years proved that the "Satanic" nature of the crime was BS. If not for that, the WM3 may have never even been questioned.

John Mark Byers is absolutely insane. Was watching some "Best of" of him on YouTube earlier. It was interesting to see him do a complete 180 later when more evidence came out.

Nonsense. Parole officers from the local juvenile detention center brought Echols' name to the attention of authorities because of their knowledge of his past psychiatric issues, which if you look into them are highly disturbing. There's no doubt that Echols was a disturbed mind and a weird frick far beyond listening to rock music and dressing in black.
