Who are the West Memphis Three?
>On May 5, 1993, three teenagers, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley known in the press as the West Memphis Three, carried out the murders of three cub-scouts they stumbled upon in the woods.
>The victims, Michael Moore, Christopher Byers, and Stevie Branch were savagely beaten all over, including being clubbed with large sticks. Byers was also castrated while alive and an attempt was made to slit the throat of Stevie Branch. Afterwords, the naked bodies of the three children were tied up with their own shoe laces and tossed into a ditch while still alive, and ultimately drowned.
>Years later, the three killers who did this pled guilty to the murders and were paroled after Hollywood Celebrities donated over $20 million toward their defense, under the belief that right-wing Christians from the South had convicted the three killers of witchcraft. The celebrities had reached this conclusion after watching some HBO shock documentaries that cut out all the evidence and focused only on sensational elements of the murders.
>All three killers remain at large to this day with nobody doing time for the murders. The killers themselves are even active on social media.
>To date, four documentaries have been made in support of the West Memphis Three, all with input from the killers themselves, and all omitting crucial evidence against them which mysteriously found it's way on the cutting room floor, film after film.
