In terms of the alibi, you really bring up a good point. Ironically, the alibi puts them under suspicion because it admits all three were together at the time of the murder. This also puts them in the vicinity of the murder site around the window of time when the murders likely took place (I say...

I agree with those who argue that the medical documents concerning Damien Echols don't prove he's a murderer, but they certainly point to a disturbed individual. It's interesting to see folks cite the fact that there's only about a year of mental history documented in the 500 pages, when I...

Interesting to see this thread continues to be the more active recent thread about this case. It's a bit sad though because the level of interest in this case continues to wane. I can't say that's wrong or unfair. Many people are convinced the Memphis Three are innocent, and they've been free...

I apologize if my personal experiences in Arkansas have upset some. They remain my experiences, however. It's not like I wanted these experiences, that's simply what occurred. It's kind of hard to respond because I find some of the responses to my post to be over-the-top. For instance, you may...

Based on my understanding as a non-lawyer, it does appear likely the West Memphis Three could force a new trial. It would require some legal hearings but it would be possible. Obviously, that is unlikely to occur. The point I believe MzOpinion is making is that the Three have already been...

Are you a lawyer? I understand double jeopardy exists, but does that apply here? The fact is, prior to the Alford Plea, a new trial was every likely even though they were already convicted. Does this plea now take away that possibility?

I believe the Memphis Three are guilty but I agree concerning the trial. A retrial was needed but Arkansas waited until it was too late and then escaped by using that horrible plea. I believe they robbed those three boys of real justice.

I wouldn't worry about Damien Echol's poor public relations management skills. Quite frankly, Damien Echols doesn't care. If you're wondering to yourself, "Man, when is Echols going to become more aware of the feelings of others", you'll have a long wait. Damien doesn't care about the...

ukrberserker, we are of like minds. I watched the documentary when it came out, and I was convinced the three were innocent. Being the crime occurred in Arkansas, and there was such a lack of forensic evidence, it didn't seem likely to me that a southern state like Arkansas could catch and...

Well, I wouldn't want you to try to respond to any of my questions, people might be under the impression this is a forum designed for discussion and to exchange opinions. I agree not all psychopaths are killers. The problem is, Damien Echols shows signs of being a psychopath and he and two of...

Back in 1995 I set off to attend a university in Arkansas. I was from New Jersey, but I had a strong, fundamentalist Christian belief and wanted to become a pastor of a church. As a result, I set off to get my education in Arkansas and attain my goal. To make a long story short, I learned...
