WM3 Case Overview

    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 '€œconfession' 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.

    But there'€™s still hope for them, and you can help.

Sign the Petition

    To: Arkansas Judicial Courts

    We the undersigned agree that a great injustice has been done to three young men, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley by the courts of Arkansas and ask that they each receive new trials in efforts to overturn their convictions which are based on absolutely NO evidence against them.

    The saying is "innocent until proven guilty", but these young boys were found guilty before being given a fair chance to prove their innocence.

    LET THE PEOPLES VOICE BE HEARD! FREE THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE!

    Sincerely,

    The Undersigned
