Glad to see her do the WM3 case ...

agent, I agree. While I'm glad this case is getting more attention, I usually roll my eyes when it comes to a celebrity taking up a "cause" lol. She could've left the celebrity part out of it and brought up more things regarding this case. I have to say, though, this is one of those cases that you just cannot cram into a one hour episode lol.

Personally, I don't know if they're innocent or not. But I do believe that there are too many unanswered questions regarding this case. I also believe there was NOT a shred of physical evidence leading to the 3 suspects.

I'll admit I was one of those who immediate thought they were guilty. I live in Arkansas about 2 or 3 hours away from West Memphis, so I remember when this was first going on. I think it was mainly because it hurt me to think what those 3 little boys went through being murdered like that. (I think I wanted to make myself feel better by knowing someone was being punished for this horrible crime.)

But once they were found guilty and I started reading more about it ... well, there's just too many unanswered questions. It's sad cause I don't think there will be any justice on earth for who was responsible for these 3 little boys' death. IMO it was a rush to judgement based on NO evidence.

Several confessions by all three, including one by Jesse Misskelley FOLLOWING his conviction -- even though his lawyer advised him to not to.. prove to me they're guilty.

Sorry, but I completely disagree with you. I cannot for sure say they're not guilty, but I believe there was not enough evidence proving their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. There are way too many unanswered questions in this case. Google Jessie's confession transcripts - he couldn't even state what happened correctly.

Damien Echols has never publicly confessed to the crime. William Jones went to the police and stated Damien confessed to him regarding the murders. Then, turned around and recanted what he said. He stated he only said those things because it's what the police wanted to hear.

I have followed this case since day one. Living about 3 hours from W Memphis, I remember everyone was enraged when this happened, including me. They wanted someone behind bars and from the beginning started looking at Damien Echols and his "friends". I admit I was one of those who believed they were guilty.

I have read anything and everything regarding this case, including the hoax website. I have also heard and read the transcripts of Jessie's "confession." Most everything in that confession was wrong regarding the crime ... he even stated that Damien "screwed" the boys. Reading the transcripts from the testimony of the medical examiner was absolutely horrible (at least for me). But I did read it ... the ME stated none of the little boys had evidence of being sodomized.

Here's the thing - we live in a country which prides itself on it's justice system - innocent until proven guilty. There was not one solid piece of evidence which proved any of the 3 guilty for these horrible murders - not even a "confession."

I've lived in Arkansas for over 20 years. I've read way too much on crimes in Arkansas and the "good ole boy" system. Google Janie Ward and how her murder was swept under the rug because the murderer just happened to be a local judge's teenage daughter. Read about the Boys on the Tracks case. Read about the former medical examiner Dr. Fahmy Malak and some of his "rulings" on the manner of deaths (no, I don't accept the "Clinton Body Count" theory) .... (google Raymond P. Allbright death - Mountain Home, AR; Kevin Ives and Don Henry train tracks; google Gregory Stephens death - Hot Springs, AR; google Susan Deer death - Hot Springs, AR)

Sorry, didn't mean to go on a rant about Malak, but my point is there is plenty of cover-ups in Arkansas. The majority of our law enforcement is wonderful, hard-working people, but that doesn't mean there are a few bad apples ... and, unfortunately, they don't want to admit when they're wrong.

Only one confessed. The one who an IQ. Of a six years old and he had to be told details of the case. I fine it very hard to believe three kids could murder three children and not leave one piece of DNA behind. Yet one of the boys stepfathers left his. I'm glad these men were released.
