| Geez, OP. Get the facts before you start frothing at the mouth about Johnny Depp's involvement. There is compelling evidence that the three were innocent of any crimes and that the murdered boys were actually killed by one of the boy's stepfather. |
| I agree with everyone telling OP she needs to research and learn the facts. These boys were railroaded. |
| How are you just now finding out about this? Old news OP. |
| A huge number of celebrities (and ordinary people) stood up for the innocence of the West Memphis 3. Add me to the list. I believe there have been several threads about them on DCUM. |
That merely proves people are sheep (what?). |
Have you read ANYTHING about the case? There is no physical evidence, no circumstantial evidence, absolutely NOTHING that links these boys to the crime. They only evidence they have is a coerced confession from a mentally retarded teenager who did not have the benefit of counsel. |

OP, here is a link to the thread from a year ago when the Alford plea deal was announced:
http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/184106.page#1743728 And please watch the Paradise Lost films. I saw the first one in the theater and followed the case ever since. Peter Jackson is coming out with a different documentary, West of Memphis, this fall. These kids are innocent and the real killer of those poor little boys will never be found or brought to justice. Just a travesty all around. |
| OP must be the real killer. Because nobody, not even the parents of the victims, still thinks these people are guilty. |
| I'll never watch 21 Jump Street again. |

I was in my last years of high school when this crime was committed and I remember all the news coverage it recieved. I later watched both Paradise movies and I have not doubted the innocense of these men.
The only reason they even had Echols as a suspect was because he was mentally ill and heard rumors about him. They police department conveniently lost everything that didn't support their case and they refused any outside help from other agencies. |
| OP, if you had read the second paragraph of the wiki page you would have realized that there was no forensic evidence linking them to the crime. |
| You know, if you wear black - you must be a killer. |
You are a sheep of the worst kind. A bunch of people just told you there is a lot of evidence showing that they are innocent. But you shoot your mouth off without even reading it. I can understand OP's ignorance. Yours is willful. I would not disparage a sheep by comparing one to you. |
