The West Memphis Three Part 3

This is a special wrap-up episode. To skip my small rant on what is going on in the world, go to 00:10:23

On May, 5 1993 three eight year old boys, Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers went missing. The next day, their mutilated, naked bodies were discovered inside of a drainage ditch in a heavily wooded area of the 10 Mile Bayou known as "Robin Hood Hills." Eventually, a 17 year old named Jessie Misskelley, Jr. would confess to the crime, implicating his friends, 18 year old Damien Echols and 16 year old Charles 'Jason" Baldwin as the masterminds behind the slaying. Wrongly lumped in as part of the "Satanic Panic" craze of the 80s and 90s, the case, and the conviction of the three men responsible, has divided people for years, with many contending their innocence based upon numerous misrepresentations of the facts in various forms of media.  In Part Three I will be looking at the trials, convictions, multiple confessions, and eventually wronful release of the killers.
