West Memphis Three innocent - WM3 - KARK TV news coverage

[Jmcdaniel2883]

Prison the best of luck.

[Jmcdaniel2883]

The kids are victims as well and they are the ones not living any more they need justice so hopefully these 3 will fight for the kids to find the actual murder. I still wish the guys that got out of

[Jmcdaniel2883]

So I hope the three that just was released from jail will fight to find the real killer and clear their names. I still send the three guys the best of luck in this crazy world they will need it since they are not use to it but hope they will not stop till they find the people that did the crime which they spent half of their lives in prison over. good luck

[Jmcdaniel2883]

If a person did not do something why plead guilty fit the state expescially if the defense had the evidence now to clear their names? They should have went back to trial and provided the evidence and shown their incense. But only they know the truth. If the state didn't have enough to convict them again then why not fight the state u would get out anyway. But Was it really justice letting them out No not till they can prove That someone else murdered them.

[edcjunkie]

2:17 Halloween Night 1963 in Hadonfield Illionois there would be a gruesome case of sibling rivalry between kids in the myers family when michael a six year old leisurely walked into his sisters room silently and butchered her body so violently.....

[edcjunkie]

@7pretty7 The tune they play at 2:17 is the tune from Halloween, the series of horror movies about Michael Myers. Someone made a song to the tune and those are part of the lyrics. It has nothing to do with anything lol. A moment of levity is all!

[wm3buster]

@edcjunkie

HALLOWEEN is good film. This STIDHAM guy is a liar. He knows his client is guilty.

On Feb. 22, 1994 Stidham argued that his client's rights were violated.

It's interesting to note however that when Fogleman stated (in court and on the record no less) that Stidham knew of his clients involvement in the murders he didn't attempt to set the record straight or even protest.

And he sure didn't say.......

My client is innocent!

He simply ignored that little truth.

[hobbshairmyass]

Misskelleys lawyer, Stidham said he would ADMIT the WM3 were guilty of killing the 3 little boys if they found the broken Evan Williams whiskey bottle where Miskelley said he broke it. They found it. So why not listen to a DEFENSE attorney? The defense attorney who begged Misskelley not to give his third sworn confession to prosecutors in his presence but Misskelley said he wanted to "get the truth out" I believe Misskelley and I believe his attorney, Dan Stidham. WM3 ARE GUILTY!

[radioguy55]

the police in charge of handling this case should have their asses fired. "lousy" is an understatement of how they handled the evidence. they contaminated and lost evidence pointing to a probable suspect, and basically destroyed the crime scene. these three were wrongfully imprisoned by a close-minded and intolerant community. free the innocent WM3!

[skillynaomi]

14/15 investigators??? and the best they could come up with was devil worship and the witchhunt building evidence around 3 innocent teens>>> are those police retarded????

[7pretty7]

@skillynaomi Yes they are. And the West Memphis Police department was under investagation for corruption. Then one of there Youth Counslers WENT TO JAIL for CHILD SEX OFFENCES... Jerry Driver, who inplacated Damien right off the bat, WENT TO JAIL for CORUPTION also. These are the same people that put the 3 in prison. Nice bunch of " honest cops " there. Yeah right.

[skillynaomi]

@7pretty7 couldnt agree more .. the more i learn about this case the more i am getting angry at this complete misscarrage of justice and the fact that 3 boys lives were ruined over very POOR police integrity

[yellowrose011]

lousy job mike allen,you should be charge and fired , corrupt as hell,fogleman is corrupt gary gitchell corrupt ,judge burnett, corrupt case ,the justice system railroad them to hell,what rotten justice,now the DNA is in,its terry hobbs ,you over look him ,yes great work on this case,14 years later you call him in to question, the men who inprisoned them should be inprisoned them selves, corrupt case ,rotten justice, FREE THEM BOYS OR MEN NOW,YOU ARE ALL CORRUPT IN JUSTICE SYSTEM CORRUPT

[yellowrose011]

[MyTwoCentsAreFree]

STFU Fogleman.

[boywithrumor]

[WRITERPOET123]

THE MUSIC IS NOT RANDOM IT WAS THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE DOCUMENTARY I BELIEVE

[Salgier87]

Whats up with the random fucking music? Michael Myers theme? XD

[spikedieslol]

haha local news there where no stab wounds

[spikedieslol]

@yellowrose011 ummm thats what i said... was making fun of the local news for reporting false information

[Igentenos]

The police etc...were too arrogant to let the state or the FBI take over the case. What a bunch of dumb assholes in charge there. Are we in Hooterville? Wheres that talking pig?

[Igentenos]

Playing politics with peoples lives...what a kangaroo court. NEW TRIAL...FAIR TRIAL....New DNA points elsewhere...witness recant testimony.

[mothwillowweb]

of course that ass is a judge now! no wonder there is NO JUSTICE! FREE THE WM3!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skillynaomi]

@mothwillowweb and if that arse is a judge now if there is a god .. god help ANY PERSON WHO IS TRIED IN FRONT OF HIM .. every case he ever tried should be REDONE pathetic piece of crap ... lets head a bunch of retarded morons and get a conviction anyway we can to ease the community and big note ourselves ... look its solved your safe .. what a bunch of bolony ... the killer is still walking free where is the comfort to people in that?? NONE meanwhile 3 innocent boys are in prison

[bruno123331]

I seen the trial and everybody involved in the case were all uneducated,stupid southern hicks the sherrif didn't even use proper grammar the idiot judge was chewing gum like a cow in court. They didn't know howw to conduct an investigation so it was easier for them to just convict the guys they had the smartest guy in the whole town was the kid jesse the one that was border line retarded. stupid hicks southern hicks with no teeth fucking their own cousins and when relatives aren't there sheep

[campbellmo63933]

they didnt have the man power like 40-48 investigators like in the green river murders-they should called in some others..was the FBI called in?

[Apmhflick]

The state police offered to help, but the West Memphis Police Dept. turned them down. I think they wanted to prove themselves.

[twallpms]

14-15 investigators working the case and they still couldn't get it right?

How pathetic!!!!1

[nemonix85]

15 idiots don't make a genius. Should've given the case to the Feds. Stupid hick police fail to recognize cases they're too stupid too deal with.

[brighterwest]

why are the playing michael myers music lol

[ECOOL76]

haha Thats local news for you

[ADVRipper4EVER]

Hahahahahaha. Well then, which language i'm speaking now, moron? Get out of my sight, you fucking troll.

[ADVRipper4EVER]

"but did you laugh about it or no"

Wrong! Did you laugh about it or NOT?

Learn to spell you piece of shit.

[ADVRipper4EVER]

Do you have Alzheimer's Disease, you fuck head? You already asked me this same question at least a hundred times. Well, i'm always laughing when i see people telling you to go fuck yourself on video comments like this one. It's fucken hilarious.

[ADVRipper4EVER]

Not because of you, motherfucker. It's all YouTube's fault, not yours. But don't worry, you are very popular on YouTube. They are even asking about you on Yahoo! Answers.

"What to do about youtube creeps?

So what'd u do about those users that send u a creepy message u know is like harrasment? Like this guy: YouTube/user/stirs11 who seems to be like a child preditor if u ask me."

Shame on YouTube. They should stop protecting trolls like you.

[ranx6]

OK.. I think I get it. It's much easier to thumbs down my comment than to actually field a couple of questions. I was trying to be unbiased but I guess you still are. OUT.

[ranx6]

You seem to have a continual interest in this case. Do you  know anyone involved ?

What is your opinion of "Mr. Bojangles" , and the lack of DNA evidence of the convicted persons ?

I know Echols, Baldwin and Misskelly all acted inconsistently for people that are innocent . I saw the footage on the news then. Damien flicking his tongue at the camera, Baldwin saying 'he screwed them and stuff' , Misskelly's 'confession'... and so forth. I think there's much more to it, though.. who knows ?

[freakshowaffair]

its so sad that the lawyers and/or lawyer could be actually wrong good god nobodys perfect but sometimes the lawyers work to hard even tho there so wrong its all money for them so i could hire a lawyer and say the gingerbread man did it but my lawyer would fight to the death just to prove such a thing (how stupid)

[projectrub1]

The info that miskelley new about the murders had been leaked to the media by 1 of the fathers, thats how he knew about it. Although the police hadnt released it, police had informed the father & he stated it to the media. I dont know if theyre guilty or not & i dont belive anyone but them knows for sure, but they were clearly not given a fair trial & everyone on earth has a right to a fair trial. If that goes ahead & theyre found guilty so be it but until then they've been imprisoned unjustly.

[kittenshateyou]

Dan Stidham is a good good man. I hope someone is allowed to get to the truth. God Bless Dan Stidham and his never ending efforts for Jesse Misskelly and the West Memphis Three.

[southernmisfit]

I own both films, and knew they were innocent the first time i watched it on hbo

[slipknot5559666]

They were actually alowed to play Metallica on the news?! NICE!!!! FREE THE WM3!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK STIRS11!!!!!!!!

[ADVRipper4EVER]

Yeah!

Fuck Stirs11, that asshole!

[bryantp654]

heat, heat, heat, heat,heat, heat, heat, heat,

[bhsbfood]

ahhaha they played the halloween theme...not a funny case though

FREE THE WM3

[BoyintheMachine]

stirs11 is a troll. My guess is that the number 11 stands for either his/her age or IQ.

Please do not feed the troll, i.e. don't reply to his/her posts and don't respond to any of his/her replies.

stirs11, please go back under your bridge.

[ADVRipper4EVER]

Stirs11 is a sick fucken bastard.

[BoyintheMachine]

Misskelley has an extremely low IQ and is borderline retarted. Miskelley also claimed that Damien and Jason repeatedly raped the boys but suprising no blood, semen, or hairs were found and today defense experts are saying there is no evidence of sexual assault. A teenage boy, or even a grown man, cannot rape a kid and not leave evidence of such rape, regardless of condoms. No evidence. No evidence the murders were related to Satanism. The trio convicted on fears of Satanic Panic only.

[BoyintheMachine]

Ample evidence that confession was coerced. Misskelley stated the boys were tied up fully clothed with brown rope, when they were in fact tied up nude with their shoestrings. Misskelley stated that they were in the forest in the morning. The cops made it clear that this was incorrect, then he stated it was noon. The cops response was that the murders occured later in the evening, telling Misskelley what he wanted him to say. Misskelley agreed. His IQ is 72, -classic false confession.

[orsiorsi186]

stirs11:Watch the movie Paradise Lost.Jason's

attorney asks Jason whether he thought Damien

was guilty or not.Jason answers" I don't know"

Now if Jason was a killer with Damien,why would

he say" I don't know" wouldn't he say "No he's

innocent"

[BoyintheMachine]

Google, 'Psychology Today: False Confessions' for a good article on the subject.

The Misskelley confession meets most of the criteria of a suspected false confession.

[BoyintheMachine]

Yes, actually there is evidence that the confession was coerced. Testimony was given at trial but the jury decided to disregard such testimony and convict three teens without any physical evidence tying them to the scene.

[BoyintheMachine]

I guess you didn't watch 'Paraidse Lost' because they read back the transcript. Jesse says it was the morning and then claims he was there in the park at noon. The cops then tell him what to say by saying (paraphrased) 'so it was afterschool later in the evening, right'. Jesse then says 'right'. Well, the reason why they did that is because the info Jesse was giving blatantly did not match what the cops knew, that the murders occured in the evening, after school. -Coercion. False Confession.

[sweetnekochan123]

what about the known child molester living just a couple miles away from the boys?

He had been previously incarcerated and hospitalized for raping, along with physically and mentally abusing his stepson and step daughter. He failed a polygraph and was able to describe the crime in great detail, including facts that hadn't yet been released to the public.

Don't you find that a bit strange?

[sweetnekochan123]

Misskelley said the confession was coerced.

Also, It was filled with errors; The time of the crime, how the boys were murdered, wht they were tied up with, etc.

Also, the confession was not used in court, it was found out by the jury illegaly. Misconduct my friend.

[sweetnekochan123]

You sir, are ignorant

[sweetnekochan123]

YOU ARE LYING.

The interrogation WAS NOT TAPED.

Only a 45(about) minute segment was taped. He was interrogated for roughly 12 hours WITHOUT being taped.

YOU CAN ASK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. (I did)

If you "Listened to it" Than you listened to twelve hours of non existant recording. I find that impossible, but with you messed up logic, you may be able to listen to something that is unrecorded.

Who knows

[orsiorsi186]

Stirs11: I've given as much tolerance to you as possible.But,you're a closed-minded savage.The

confession was never used at Damien and Jessie's

trial. The jury found out about it illegally through gossip.That makes their conviction illegal.I think I'm throwing pearls before a swine.You'll understand, someday, when this

injustice happens to you,believe me it will.

[twodollarforty]

anyone that says "confession given, case closed" is a f'ing artard. i knew 2 boys back in high school that gave coerced confessions to a murder and recanted almost immediately. they were jailed for months and eventually the real killers were found with the kids wallet in their trunk states away. they confessed after hard evidence piled up against them. the original suspects were set free. they were kids under intense pressure that made a huge mistake and thankfully the real killers were caught.

[orsiorsi186]

Stirs11: Doesn't it matter to you that they are probably innocent.There was a case in England

where an innocent(slightly retarded man) was

executed because he didn't understand that what was saying was turned into a confession.A movie

called Ten Rillington Place was made about the

case. Rent the movie,it came out in the 1970s.

I'd like to see you answering questions for twelve hours with no attorney,and see how

you'd stand up.

[sweetnekochan123]

The CONFESSION was taped, NOT the interrogation. I never said the confession wasn't taped(It was, you actualy are correct on that small insignificant fact)

[orsiorsi186]

stirs11:I know you think they're guilty,but

Jessie's confession was never entered into evidence in Jason and Damien's trial.The only

evidence was fiber evidence,which since has

been shown to be false.Belief me, if I thought

they were guilty I would say,"Hang him",too. Jessie's confession makes no sense.Daytime

and ropes.All mistakes.He was 17 confused

and threatened with life in prison.He was

confused,and mentally feeble.Scott Erskine

is the killer.

[sweetnekochan123]

You shouldn't flaunt your ignorance.

3 things...

-Torture and murder would be considered hate is they not?

-there is no evidence that the boy's were tortured by any means, other than possibly mentally.

-Damien Echols was convicted with no rational, logical evidence against him. The whole case was riding on a coerced, error-filled, "Confession" by a borderline mentally incompetent teen taht had been prceded by 12 hours of unrecorded, untaped interroggation.

[sweetnekochan123]

This is the kind of thing that makes me embarrassed to live in Arkansas.

[sweetnekochan123]

Stirs11, the confession was NOT taped actually, it was unrecorded numbskull.

[orsiorsi186]

I have read everything on this case(Everything)

and there is not one piece or shred of evidence that links Damien or Jason to these murders.

This is a great miscarriage of justice.This

is good ole boy justice a la the Scottsboro

boys from the thirties.Free the WEST MEMPHIS

THREE>

[sweetnekochan123]

I agree completely. I have read devils knot(three times) searched the internet down and read every page on the wm3, and went to 3 public libraries, and have found nothing that would put them beyond the reasonable doubt.Innocent boys are in prison and a killer is free. It is wrong.

This is the kind of thing that makes me embarrassed to live in arkansas.along with the Obamaphobia, racism, conservative evangelical values, ignorance.

It sucks to be an Athiest, Liberal, democrat in arkansas.

[jewto0b]

Lol this stirs11 guy is a troll, no doubt now. His logic is just plain fucked.

They found out why he came to the cops, to get reward money for that girl. From the way they spoke on the phone, I have no doubt he would do that for her in a second, and Misskelly most likely had codependency issues to boot which makes it even more likely he would do anything to please her. I believe it blew up in his face.. atomic bomb style.

[7pretty7]

HEY STIRS..STFU FOOL!!! you're gittin on my nerves asshole. You make nooooo sense just nonsense. CASE CLOSED SHITHEAD

[jewto0b]

Why do you get so defensive? That's usually the route people take when they are wrong but don't want to admit it.

There's no evidence to say the police DIDN'T, either, so your point is moot.

However, if you have ever encountered police in america or know anything of basic interrogation tacticts, you would know they can and will do/say whatever they can to get information, true or not. Leaving them in a confined space and asking the same questions over and over is one of the most basic tactics.

[7pretty7]

Very good jewto..A+ to you FREE THE 3

[jewto0b]

"Police immediately began looking for the answer..."

And then lost all evidence and left out important details that just so happened to be contrary to what they said took place.

[jewto0b]

I shot JFK.

I just admitted it.

Do you see how just because I say it, it doesn't make it so? Same thing, different circumstances. He was a scared boy being grilled by police for several hours. Have you seen him? He was not capable of subduing a dog, yet alone a human boy fighting for his life.

Police will say and do anything short of physical harm to get someone to talk if they believe they are hiding something. He just wanted them to leave him alone.

Not to mention his details were wrong.

[Ravok]

I have your mom on tape. Just me and her in the same room. It's awesome. DNA evidence versus word of mouth...hmm....yeah you must be right. Dipshit.

[Ravok]

Case open, dumbass. There you go again ignoring all the things that he said that were WRONG...instead, he gets one little thing right and all of you have a freakout. "OMG HE GOT ONE THING RIGHT HE DID IT OMG" No. Sorry. There is no DNA pointing to anything that these 3 did. It doesn't matter anyways, you are 1 of only probably 20 idiots who think they are guilty. Good luck with that.

[Ravok]

Yet you fail to ignore the 50 times where he said he admitted it out of fear. Doesn't mean he actually did it, you shitcake.

[airslaughter]

aside from the seriousness...anyone else LOL at the music? Halloween theme and metallica etc

[Ravok]

You act like you have never seen something go wrong in America....seriously?

[Ravok]

Have you ever taken the time to just put yourself in their shoes? Guilty or not, there was no proof pointing to them that did it. If you were here in America you might understand but your brain is probably too small to fathom an unjust case.

[Ravok]

Siroowns is right, he didn't have an accuracy at all with the killings. If he did it you would think he would know how it went down you piece of ratshit.

[siroowns]

LOL.. do you always have such a one sided view?

He retracted his statement saying it was coerced.

and what he did admit, was wrong.. everything he said was wrong. times/how they died/ what they were tied up with etc.

[siroowns]

LOVE it how stirs hasnt commented on the video..

West Memphis Three: Time for Truth: 1 and 2.

I wonder why.. maybe because it has solid evidence from experts showing that WM3 are innocent.

Stirs your pathetic.

[pmsvictim71]

You wouldn't happen to be inbred would you?

[Ravok]

It's called mental abuse. Look it up.

[jawatrader1980]

yea 12 hours of abuse to a mentally challenged boy, yea i would confess 2

[jawatrader1980]

were you there no look at the evidence you are the fuck, this is why religion is a joke.

[danny54125412]

I'd rather someone kills you, You're guility of hate unlike Damien

[tinkerbell71680]

youre a fag

[Speedofsmell]

etchols nor jason ever give an alibi etchols tell everyone where you where the day of the 5th to 230 the 6th. also if your innocent with all the money generated why not take a public lie detector test. i mean byers is poor and he did it. although its not 100% accurate its like 90% so instead of trying to prove anyone could have done this. "which is what you been doing just instilling doubt" prove that you didnt

[DeltaSigChi4]

Free the West Memphis Three!

E

[emeraldsword666]

FREE THEM!!!!

[bjoh249]

I can tell you as a life-long Arkansan that the West Memphis Police Department is very, very, very corrupt. They make police despartments like New York and LA look like Mayberry.

[musicismyrelease]

free the west memphis 3!!!!!!!

[tinkerbell71680]

in the end, it turned into 6 lives taken from boys, what a tragity... its so sad, look at those adorable children, that is such a terrible thing... those boys were just innocent children, like little angels.. :( so sad. They didnt deserve that, and damien, jesse and jason dont deserve their lives being taken away either. they are innocent.

[brown9708]

find the black guy with blood and mud all over him at bogangles chicken place. he's a person of interest

[fluorophoric]

he's not a person of interest, he's the person that did it. along with Hobbs and Byers.

[hiyaomg]

The wm3 are innocent.

I personally have watched nearly EVERY video ever made about this case, i mean even hobbs belives in their innocence now, surely if he can turn around his opinion, other people can see truth.

[jonjonesgr8ful]

I think they did it. Everyone wants to make it something that it is not...a conspiracy. These creeps did it and they are getting what they have coming.

[HellsinkiVamps69Ozzy]

so do I. jerk satanists get what they deserve.

[TeflonMaster]

Satanic ritual abuse doesn't exist

[mhirtes12]

So, Mike Huckabee would free an obvious rapist like Wayne Dumond (who went out to rape AND murder), but he won't lift a finger to free the WM3?

[padraiggillon]

Huckabee has said women should "submit" to men.  He probably does not believe rape is a crime.

[trukrboy]

CORRECTION: John Fogleman is the man I meant...NOT Dan Stidham. Mr Stidham deserves a Pulitzer Prize for his unfailing tenacity and devotion to Jessie. He is truly a credit to his profession. Sorry Dan!

[trukrboy]

Regina Meeks should've been fired for her gross dereliction of duty the night of May 5 1993. Also, one of the most bizarre sidebars to this entire case is the fact that Dan Stidham, the man who prosecuted the WM3 on such flimsy "evidence" is now a Judge! WTFO!!!

[dickdogginit]

well tommy ive been following the case the evidence was lost. he wasnt only bloody he was muddy to and if you look at a sattelite image of the area follow the river it leads from the crime scene about a two hundred and fifty yards west then bends and about fifty yards north and yards from there is bojangles where the black bloody man was. my opinion is they have the guilty party in prison now

[tommyamandashelbyemm]

I want to know about the bloody man that appeared in a local resturant that day. I have only heard mention of this one time. They said the employees gave police bloody paper towels left behind. What about that.

[acidbath6]

The cops drove through the drive through window to investigate,did not go in,answered another call about an egging down the street,Went back to Bojangles,got the evidence and then "LOST IT".

[zazzycat22]

The night the boys went missing a black man came into the Bojangels resturant. He was disctribed as disoriented, covered in mud, with blood on him. He went in to the ladies restroom. the manager called the police. the police officer who came went through the drive through to see what was going on. she never go out of her car. the next day 2 detectives came to investigate. they took statements and blood samples which they later LOST.

[KatBalderThor]

Fogelman should be imprisoned for life, he and the "investigators" within the WMPD looked for an easy way out, not justice. One of many situations indictating why the death penalty is so wrong.

[juliejazz]

Yeah, and now he's a judge.  Incredible.

[EsqDave]

If you're rich and DNA nails you (OJ Simpson), you go free. If you're poor and DNA clears you, you go to death row (West Memphis Three). What an embarrassment to the USA legal system. End this nonsense and free them NOW.

[DoubleTalkingJive]

Or if you live in Arkansas and listen to heavy metal you can be convicted on the principal of being a "Satanist" who drinks the blood of mutliated little boys. Fucking hicks..

[Nire19]

These people are still in prison? What about the July 2007 DNA that proved they weren't at the scene? This is nuts.

[MFMoshDEK]

@Nire19 Another big point(for me anyway) is that some of the parents of the murdered boys have come forward and put their support behind the accused...like I have always said...lets have a REAL trial & lets try to find the real killer or killers.
