I think he just wants the spotlight from it notice the other guys now don’t say anythingWhy would Echols and his lawyers....WHY on earth....would they continue to press the state to test all of the remaining evidence? That makes zero sense to anyone with a functioning brain.
If Echols were involved in any way, spent 20 some years on death row and finally got out, he'd get as far from that evidence room as humanly possible and would be glad if it were set on fire. Yet it's the state and the WMPD that seems to want that stuff to go away. Someone is hiding something and it aint the WM3.
I'm not sure what is in that evidence room will prove who killed those children, but I know that none of it will implicate the convicted.
Are they still married?I wish someone could explain to me why this is the Damien Echols defense fund, and not the Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley defense fund.
There's something about this that seems a bit hinky to me. For instance, if Damien were to die either by natural causes or injection, what happens to this money?
It obviously isn't going to Baldwin or Misskelley because their names aren't on it.
Does it go to Lori? Wouldn't that be something?

Was it Lorrie Echols? If so, I'll need a citation. If not, then your anecdote, while interesting, has nothing to do with this case in any way whatosever.

It makes absolutely perfect sense. He did not push so hard for evidence to be tested until AFTER he was told that it was all destroyed in a fire...then the push was on...
Damien gets plenty of attention (books, public speaking, interviews, hob knobbing with celebrities). Opening up a can of worms by DNA testing evidence that he KNOWS will very likely implicate him (or the other two convicted) after finally getting off death row goes beyond "attention seeking" into the realm of self implicating idiocy. Hell, for that matter, he arguably got MORE attention on death row when you think about it.
Not buying it. No way he and lawyers would push so hard for testing if they thought there was a chance in hell any of that evidence tied to the WM3.
I don't think the WM3 had anything to do with what happened to those boys. My point was just that DE has always liked attention and it's what got him into trouble in the first place. Running off at the mouth.
That was my point too and I’m with youI don't think the WM3 had anything to do with what happened to those boys. My point was just that DE has always liked attention and it's what got him into trouble in the first place. Running off at the mouth.
It’s really not that difficult I think he likes the attention too anything for publicity"Running off at the mouth" is not a capital offense.
<modsnip>
My point stands. If Damien knew there was a chance in hell that there was a hair, a fingernail or a drop of sweat o an of that crime scene evidence, no damned way he pushes the issue now that he's out.

If "new" evidence was uncovered as they say with this DNA of another, then these three should indeed have a new trial..If what they say about this jury foreman, and it can be proven....then definately a new trial...JMHO
SawThat was my point too and I’m with you
Can you explain what it means "it's what got him into trouble in the first place"?I don't think the WM3 had anything to do with what happened to those boys. My point was just that DE has always liked attention and it's what got him into trouble in the first place. Running off at the mouth.

I can't believe how much corruption there was in that county! I just heard about the police chief's resignation and the final release of the evidence! I came here after Paul Holes mentioned the case on his podcast.
