West Memphis Three
Now there's a thought...
It’s so sad and infuriating to think that the evidence never pointed to them in the first place, and now that evidence is there to support their innocence, this state’s judicial system just can’t admit its own guilt in perpetrating an injustice against the WM3, the victims and their families.
It’s scary to think just how corrupt this state’s system is. I’m sure it is not the only corrupt state, but it is still scary how people can let innocent people suffer and die because they are to small and selfish to admit their errors. The spirits of these dead boys need to visit those who are unwilling to do the right thing in this case, and really just scare the ever livin bujeebers out ot them. One of these times the WM3 has to get a judge with a real conscience.

48 Hours does it right
Tonight, CBS presented the finest program on the West Memphis murders since HBO’s “Paradise Lost” aired almost 14 years ago. It’s not easy to tell such a complex story well, but “48 Hours” did the job well. Among many high points, it was a pleasure to see Johnny Depp speak so passionately about the injustice of this case. Watch A Cry for Innocence.
In addition, the “48 Hours” website is hosting additional footage showing interviews with some of the Arkansas people, including me, who are resisting their state’s march to execute Damien Echols and keep Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley in prison until they die. See supporters.
People often ask me what we supporters can do to help. The first and best answer is always to spread the word. With this program, “48 Hours” has given us an excellent link to share.
One quibble: I wonder why, when they got just about every other detail so right, they repeatedly identified John Mark Byers as Christopher’s father. Byers was Christopher’s stepfather.
