I bet Matthew McConaughey's going to play Fogelman in the movie.

From this you'd think the WMPD searched high and low for months. They only asked around about Damien and cult activity for 1 month before they arrested the WM3. And they never really investigated the victims' families which, just based on stats on violent crime against children, they should have done 1st and foremost. If my kid was killed I'd want the cops to investigate me just to know they were doing things right.

@yellowrose011 the wm3 did the crime

@exhibit500 nope. wrong again. No circumstantial evidence. Hearsay and the induced confession of a person with an IQ in the 30 percentile. And if you don't consider DNA which excludes the three as evidence pointing AWAY from them, I hope to god you never sit on a jury.

@technicalsm wrong. The mental health professionals did not document or testify that Echols was likely to act out in violence. Read his psych evaluations; they are posted online. Also, Baldwin had NO history of mental health. Get your facts straight.

This prosecutor is a fucking joke, and now he's a judge; it's mind boggling. He's so ignorant, I can't take it. The state attorney's office should be crucified for this. Each and every person involved in this wrongful conviction should be shunned by true nationals who respect and honour the principles upon which the United States of America is based.

18 years too late, but at least these three INNOCENT people are now free. Now, lets get them exonerated.

[technicalsm]

This is Viacom propaganda. Baldwin and Echols were already known by mental health professionals as likely to act out in violence. This had nothing to do with Satan worship. Baldwin and Echols also bragged about being the perps after the fact. THAT IS WHY THEY GOT LIFE. Viacom and Time Warner have spent millions to defend these mass murdering scumbags to save their MTv Bad Boy Brand. These guys are GUILTY AS HELL!

Jessie Misskelley’s confession – February 17, 1994

.On Thursday, February 17, 1994, Jessie Misskelley made a tape-recorded confession to prosecutors. Prosecutors gave Misskelley “use immunity” for this statement. His defense lawyers protested the meeting and urged Misskelley not to talk, but Misskelley defied their advice.If you want to know what happened on May 5, 1993, listen to Jessie Misskelley’s 2/17/94 confession.

@CrusaderEmber I am reading, and I cant find any...except your stupid retarded comments here. And they are not the evidence....maybe of your stupidity but not about the case.

@Oukita That's just plain silly. The devil didn't beat, skin one of the penises and finally drown three children. Damien Wayne Echols and company did that. It's obvious. And Outika, seriously. STOP with the drugs, piercings and tats. Seriously. It doesn't make you interesting or unique.
