"Shortly after three eight-year-old boys were found mutilated and murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas, local newspapers stated the killers had been caught. The police assured the public that the three teenagers in custody were definitely responsible for these horrible crimes. Evidence?
The same police officers coerced an error-filled “confession” from Jessie Misskelley Jr., who is mentally handicapped. They subjected him to 12 hours of questioning without counsel or parental consent, audio-taping only two fragments totaling 46 minutes. Jessie recanted it that evening, but it was too late— Misskelley, Jason Baldwin and Damien Echols were all arrested on June 3, 1993, and convicted of murder in early 1994.
Although there was no physical evidence, murder weapon, motive, or connection to the victims, the prosecution pathetically resorted to presenting black hair and clothing, heavy metal t-shirts, and Stephen King novels as proof that the boys were sacrificed in a satanic cult ritual. Unfathomably, Echols was sentenced to death, Baldwin received life without parole, and Misskelley got life plus 40.
For over 13 years, The West Memphis Three have been imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit. Echols waits in solitary confinement for the lethal injection our tax dollars will pay for. They were all condemned by their poverty, incompetent defense, satanic panic and a rush to judgment.
But there’s still hope for them, and you can help...
How to Help :
(A LETTER FROM LORRI DAVIS & DAMIEN ECHOLS)
Dear Friends and Supporters:
Here’s sending many, many thanks to those of you reading this note. It means you are interested in this case, and that’s what we’re trying to do, raise interest and awareness.
It also means you may be willing to donate to the defense, which would be a huge help to us. We’re currently getting important work done in the fields of pathology, forensics and investigation, thanks to many of you, but we have a lot of work to do.
Damien’s is the only case being reviewed in state and federal court at present, but donated funds are going to the efforts to appeal Jason and Jessie’s cases as well. All three cases benefit directly from the defense fund.
We are currently awaiting results from DNA testing, which is a lengthy process. Progress is being made, however, and defense funds will also help in completing that work.
It’s amazing how much support we receive from around the world, and we are grateful. Not a day goes by that Damien and I aren’t touched by someone’s note of kindness, or the feeling that we aren’t alone in our fight for justice.
Thanks to all of you out there, for your letters, your generosity, your thoughts - your support. We wouldn’t be where we are now without your help.
Most sincerely,
Lorri Davis
