The West Memphis Three
If you haven't heard about these guys then let me fill you in....


In 1994 three teen age boys were wrongfully put in prison for the murders of three 2nd grade boys.
There was no direct evidence to link any of the three teens to the crime and all of them had massive alibies for where they were at the time of the murders.
All the police had to work with was the confession of one of the teens who was interigated for 3 hours and had an I.Q. of 72 (which if you don't know is close to mentally retarded) . In the confession the teen was wrong about the time of day the crime happened and about key points of what happened to the three boys. Besides the confession of the one teens the police had nothing to link them to it. All the police needed was that the three teens were different. they listened to heavy metal music and wore black clothes. In my opinion that is not a crime.

Well to get to my point for writing this.........
The was a documentary made during the trial of the three teens that every body should see. The name of the documentary is: Paradise Lost- The child murders at robinhood hills . Go to your local video store and rent it.

One of the teens is on deathrow for the crime and has just received a stay of execution but still needs help to get DNA from the trial retested. Please watch the movie and check out the website and if you feel the same way many others do about this case. If you do Please Help!!!! Here is the link to their website that has more info and ever thing about their cases: The West Memphis Three
