I feel like this case was so mishandled that we will never know what happened to those poor children. That is just terrible. Their poor parents. Not only to have to live through something so awful happening to your children but to then never know what happened because of how screwed up the investigation was. Hurts my heart. I'm so sorry for all involved.
He was like many his age is seeking to find himself. Is he not allowed? Can anyone imagine being in his shoes and suddenly being on death row while the real perpetrators are smirking as they got away with murder.
@@Roman.Bolanski I have done my research, at the time this happened, they said a man at the West Memphis service station with blood all over him, & did 't even check him out!!!!!! That tells me the cops just wanted the M.M. three, what a waste!!
Thank you for saying this! It’s a point that must be made! Yes if someone is innocent and they’re on death row that is absolutely tragic but what happened to those three baby boys is ultimately atrocious!!! They were three little boys out playing looking for adventure and getting dirty being all boy! They deserved so so so much more than that!
@@lynnajames8906 No -- Terry Hobbs was NOT the last to see the boys alive. The Facts on the case are in a book that's called -- *"ABOMINATION: **_Devil Worship and Deception_* *_in the West Memphis Murders"_* -- which was -- written *BY* -- famed attorney *WILLIAM RAMSEY* . .
There are no words that can heal the hearts of the parents. With that said, I believe the boys are in a Heaven so Beautiful and free of evil. I believe we reunite in Heaven. My condolences to the families of the three beautiful boys 😇😇😇
that's what the paradise lost docu wanted us to think. I'm not easily brainwashed but they nearly got me as I watched..it almost worked i remember yelling WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOWN? DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO TELL THE TRUTH THERE? but the spell so to speak wore off and i realized what they were trying to do. haha like in ZOOLANDER "THE PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA BADDDDDD, KUNG FU GOOOOOOD."..
Its about $, not paying millions in compensation to the WM3 & careers. They knew who did it before the "Alfred" plea, there's even DNA. Innocence means compensation, the prosecutor became a Judge & continued the cover up.
Tell me the evidence against Terry Hobbs?? If there was a list of circumstantial evidence against the WM3 and Terry Hobbs, guess which list would be longer??? Answer...the WM3. Do the research.
Those guys didn’t do it. They need to keep looking at either Terry Hobbs or Mark Byers. Mark is deceased, I’m not convinced his accident was not suicide. Melissa, Chris’s mother, died in 1996 under suspicious circumstances. Mark abused Chris. Justice for Chris, Steve & Michael
I believe they need to look at Terry Hobbs! These kids are innocent. There was no DNA found from them but their was Terry Hobbs! I guess everyone Just forgot the black man bloody man in Bo Jangles that night. This pisses me off how many lives were ruined and most of all these 3 little boys 😢
My heart rips apart every time I see Pam collapse. Bless her. I can't imagine the horror she's been through. I hope the murderer is brought to justice, and the West Memphis 3 finally cleared. God bless them all.
I think about the three babies all the time. I found out about this case when I was 15 but when I grew up and had kids of my own I found out that Damien,and the other two were probably innocent. I'm not gonna say if they did or not but their lives were ruined too. God bless all of them
The whole state of Arkansas should rally around the three and demand that the DNA be tested if Arkansas cares about the truth other wise boycot Arkansas.
I don't understand how this disgusting prosecutor can keep refusing to allow DNA testing on evidence! That should be illegal! If evidence is collected, a judge or prosecutor shouldn't be allowed to withhold it or not allow it to be heard in court. Whay kind of Justice is that?!?
You can always tell when there's corruption when a couple decades go by and new staff is hired then they suddenly solve the crime. Just like the Long Island Serial Killer case that just broke wide open due to the assembly of a task force last year. Major corruption in the LISK case.
The step dad of the one kid killed them as revenge for his mom cheating on him. He was evil. His eyes his laugh. Plain evil. I believe in my soul he did it.
Damien taunting grieving parents in court and laughing. Just normal behavior for a teen accused or triple murder., I am told. Simply a youthful indiscretion.
I don't guess you were ever young, stupid, and ignorant of how the world works. Do you ACTUALLY believe Arkansas would free 3 men convicted of the brutal murders of 3 kids? They KNOW they're innocent. It would terrify the corrupt judges/politicians if they actually read their bible. They'd repent, quickly.
Hobbs and Byers gave DNA samples and passed polygraphs tests with ease. Echols did not and had deception in his answers and Misskelley was ‘lying his ass off’. Which side do u believe?
@@kokoda7734 I believe that the WM3 are guilty. Paradise Lost is biased. I have been down the rabbit hole for 30 years now- started with guilty...researched it over and over again. I'm back at guilty. Firmly.
@@Debra-k1f finally! Someone who actually does their research before giving opinions. I think if most people did their research, they wouldn’t defend them. The influence by celebrities has made it much easier for people to believe they are innocent. I wouldn’t even be surprised if the celebs done their homework either. U know what? Even before I got right into the case, I had no doubt they were guilty. I suppose if every death row inmate and lifers had millions of dollars (charity) they would’ve walked for their crimes as well...
Mom got me into Paradise Lost. Because she knew I like Metallica. That was when the first film was on HBO. I watched it … being the same age as Chris, Stevie and Michael. Oddly, enough… their elementary schools name is my middle name. This case is an example of how backwards the south(and eastern) states thinking is. It’s as easy as “they look evil!!!” “That’s satans music!!!” Of course this happens all over. But I believe in the South it’s the quickest/common response. It’s disgusting.
It's also something to be said about high humidity low oxygen to the brain, Laziness, complete lack of ambition and follow through, evidence of bloody prints excetra were just left even though it was in a public place, upon going back it was destroyed just completely 3 stooges investigation. Between heavy food and no oxygen in the air it's a miracle anything gets solved unless the perp falls asleep at the scene.
@@kimberlys.t.7206 you are really a gullible fo who has failed to responsibly research the case. Echols laughs at you idiots he mind controls. Why has Damien needed to lie so often? Lies he’s been caught in. Why did he commit perjury on the witness stand? Why did all three have no alibi and lied about their alibi?? How did Echols know specific things about the crime before they were made known? Why did he describe himself as “Homicidal”? Why was he seen in muddy clothes walking from the crime scene at 9:30 at night? Why was the EXACT same kind of blue wax, found on one of the boys, also found in the trailer where Echols lived? Why did Damien taunt the families of the victims? Why did Damien and Jessie fail their polygraphs so conclusively? Why did Damien discuss sacrificing his first child with his ex-GF? Why did he later draw a picture of child sacrifice? Why did Echols tell the Police “I’ll tell you everything”, but then Lawyers up after speaking to his mom? Why did Damien say “I am the Devil’s servant. He tells me what to do and I do it.”? Why did he brag about killing the boys at the softball game? And saying he’s going to kill two more? Why did he say the softball girls were lying, but later days they weren’t, but that he was just joking? Why was Echols’ Exhibit 500 compiled by HIS Defense attorneys to avoid the death penalty for him? Why did Jason say Damien could have done it, when Damien had said they were together the whole time.
Damien killed dogs and pledged allegiance to the devil,Damien bragged about killing those boys and planned to kill 2 more in public, damien tried to drink anyone's blood,damien lied multiple times about where they was the night they were killed,damien had multiple witnesses claim to have seen him near the crime scene that night,damien had possession of a weapon that was the exact same as one used in the crimes,and Damien had a friend who's confessed atleast 10 times with details of the murder that checked out, OH and damien gave police info that was unknown to the public about the crime scene. And I could name much much more that Damien did that got him convicted for this crime
Then why does he want the d.n.a tested?I used to run around saying similar shit.I doubt he drank blood-with friends like his u don't need enemies.The evidence u bring up is nearly all hearsay and small town rumour.Ive suffered the same shit.Im now 57 and at the time was in my 20s.A fucked time.Merry xmas(sincerely)
@@ShaneHill-mu4yi Echols only wants certain DNA tested. U need to remember he is represented by hotshot legal dream team that represented OJ Simpson. They were paid millions by the funds that were raised by celebrities.
Dameon said that he honestly did not believe he would be convicted of a crime he never did, plus the lack of actual evidence. And he was a teen, compare him now to that first court appearance. He definitely grew up
@@BladeObssession Jessie’s numerous confessions corroborating the injuries, the smashed whiskey bottle and Damien knowing about the urine in the stomach.
@@Jazzykatt23 Jessie told them what they wanted to here because they kept him in interrogation for forever and they wouldn't let him sleep so under duress he confessed. If they were guilty why would the judge and the state prosecution allow the Alford plea agreement?
@@BladeObssession that is untrue. Did you even listen to the interviews? Those police handled him with kid gloves. He was interviewed on different occasions and only for a few hours each time. Jessie had the permission from his dad to talk to the police and he was familiar with interrogation procedures considering he had been previously arrested two times on separate matters:
They did it .Damien and Jessie mentioned things that only the killers would know.Damien threatened to kill his parents a cop ,several girls and himself He also stalked several young girls and threatened to kill thenm and tortured and killed a dog and was in a mental hospital for violent behavior . Not your average Headbanger.A Dirtbag ,not a hero.
This case is so infuriating. When the teens were arrested, they looked guilty as hell! Damien showing no care for the whole thing was just strange. Maybe he was putting on a tough guy act but man who acts like that when being accused of murdering children. And miskelly confessing on several different occasions, on the record and off the record. They seems guilty as all hell. Then there's terry Hobbs. His reactions and interviews make him seem super guilty. I just don't know for sure and I hope the truth comes out one day.
They were kids too, and you can’t determine guilt based on people’s reactions. In the late 90’s I was a tough, angry teenager with a strong opposition to authority. I can’t imagine reacting with indifference to this situation, but I can see myself being “inappropriate” at the absurdity of the allegations. The whole “satanic panic” phase of the general public was so outrageous it was laughable. I don’t think the evidence supported the allegations, and it was reminiscent of a witch hunt. It’s such a nightmare for everyone, and it’s just so sad
The teens were innocent. The authorities had no evidence other than the coerced confession from a mentally ill child. "They looked guilty as hell"🙄😏 You're a moron.
Echols seeming arrogant could be that he had a pretty rough upbringing. The WM3 to me was a horrible witch-hunt. No evidence at all. Just the law taking advantage of a juvenile with learning problems being wrongly interrogated and coerced.
Interesting Damen cant look her in the eye when he is talking....I dont think the one kid would of implicated HIMSELF and these other 2 clowns UNLESS he/they was/were involved.
The one who said they did it was mentally disabled with the mind of a 5yr old they kept badgering him and cohersed him into saying he saw something he didn't dna is how they were set free their innocent
That dumbass Jessie was after the reward money she he told the police that they were guilty but he jut chased the Moore boy down and held him til the other two got him , Jessie is the one who should have been in the nut house and not Damion, and absolutely nothing wrong in wearing black clothes or the kind of music they liked,
how dd 1 man manage to tie up 3 boys without one of them getting away? Stop drinking the cool aid. Damien even went around bragging about it to everyone!
They 100% committed the murders lol. Anyone who says otherwise has only watched a couple documentaries, and called it a day. The really damaging evidence was cherry picked out of all these documentaries lol.
EVERYONE who watched the docs uncritically thinks it’s Hobbs, that was the intent of the doc. And before that it was Byers. The ring in your nose is showing.
@@TheGeosto actually there was one of the docs that pointed to Hobbs not all three and everything I have seen and read(which is a lot) makes me very suspicious of him but unlike others I am not willing to say he is guilty just like I am not willing to say the three convicted are innocent but there was not enough evidence,if any, to convict them. This tragedy is completely the fault of the police that did not do a proper investigation they simply focused on a suspect and tried to find evidence to convict him. The first place they should have started was the three victims families and they did not interview Terry until months if not years later. I do not agree with how the defense did certain things such as trying to throw suspicion on a number of people including David Jacoby whose life was ruined. I wish everyone would step up and demand a thorough and fair investigation to solve this horrific murder of three little boys and stop just throwing accusations at the three that were,to me, wrongfully convicted and anybody else that seems suspicious let the investigation prove who did it and not a bunch of keyboard detectives. As long as a proper investigation is not done nothing will change the fact that three little boys were murdered and no one is being held responsible. Please don’t respond with the three that did it were held responsible unless you are willing to site clear and convincing evidence that is not the “confession” the wax or some random threads found
I can't stand the thought of never finding out who killed these boys. I hate the fact that Mark Byers died before finding out something. I didn't know you had passed. I was wanting to reach out and write a letter to both him and Pam and to find out he's dead was quite a surprise. Poor Pam, I feel like she's all alone now. I guess that it makes sense that it's somebody that they knew because if it was a stranger passing through what need would they have to try to hide everything like they did? If they were just passing through all they had to do was get in your truck and leave. Only someone that feels they have an obvious link to these boys would feel the need to try to hide the body center like some clothes the way they did. As far as Terry Hobbs goes I just don't know. I mean he was supposed to have his little sister with him watching the both of them while Pam was at work so when she have seen something if she was with him the whole time? Maybe Stevie and them came in the house and caught him doing something to his little sister? And the Bojangles guy that is a big what if as well. I mean that Bojangles was right down the street. How shity was that cop didn't even get out of the car and investigate the bathroom or nothing. Then the other guy says he lost the evidence that they did come back and get which I don't believe. One more thing that runs up my spine is when they were in court and that bald-headed cop says that "Jesse simply misunderstood". Who in the hell are you to make that kind of claim!? What kind of judge would allow that statement? What kind of damn jewelry would listen to that statement and accept it?! What about that specialist that got his degree by mail and when the lawyer raised to think about it that judge says "I don't believe you have to take any classes to be certified and expert in something". What kind of a moronic statement is that!? Of course you need to have some sort of actual education in a field that you're an expert in to be classified in actual expert. Sorry, I could g on and on.
Pam was with Terry hobbes tho not Byers right? And I think it was hobbes DNA at the crimescene and his friend jacoby dna was found as well and eye witneses of seeing him with the boys before disappearing
I think Terry Hobbs did it as well and had help. The police had no leads at the time and the people wanted someone to blame which put great pressure on the police to lock up anyone at the time and the Judge if you want to call him that was a fuckin idiot
@@gcroller93 the time of the murders don't make since people was starting to look for the boys at 6 pm when chris was reported missing so they witnessed Dobbs at 630 pm with the kids a neighbor did..I don't believe this..if people was looking for them at 6 they would have spotted the boys easy..I honestly think the boys where killed between 5 pm and 6 pm.
@@gcroller93 please keep David Jacoby’s name out of this he was not Terry’s best friend and that DNA you speak of was consistent with 14% of the population he did nothing and has been honest from the beginning just watch the interview with him his life was ruined because of accusations like this. The investigation and the trial were a farce but the team for the WM3 have done some things that are in the same level as what was done to three teens at the time. I am one who is not willing to say they are completely innocent because I just do not know but what I do know is every piece of evidence points to their innocence not their guilt but in my heart I can’t say they are innocent because a proper investigation has never been done
I really can't stand that Echols guy. He constantly whines that he was victimized, but not once does he reflect on the fact that the real victims were those poor kids and their families.

Sorry but logic would tell me why would 3 grown over 18 teenagers hogtie 3 little kids to kill.them??...makes no sense...but a single man would...to control them...tje stepfather is very suspect to me.
All I know is after he was convicted Damien Echols said he loved that he would become the West Memphis boogie man and kids would check under the bed for him.Enough said right there!!
So you say.Some thinks he's guilty.I honestly don't know what I think sometimes I think they might be guilty sometimes I think they might be innocent.It will all be worked out in the next life.
I guess you've never been an ignorant kid before...saying dumb things you regret later. He was not convicted when he said that. He was on camera for a documentary, ignorant of the desperate police, trying to find a scapegoat to blame so the angry mobs would be silenced.
@@tacob69 The thing is, I have seen a lot of videos about Damen Echols and he is not a Satanist. He practices MAGICK sure.. but that isn't SATANISM. and he is pretty balanced and cares about self improvement. NOT a psychopath or sociopath....
It scares me so much that satanic panic never really died in small towns like that. I’ve lived in small towns like that before, as an outsider from the city who just didn’t fit in. Now it seems we are sliding back down that hole. I wonder how many more young, inexperienced with life people have gone down for horrible things they didn’t do. I feel the most for Jesse, out of the three wrongfully convicted. He was used for his disability to take them all down. He also sounds like he has a lot of trust issues.
Your hate and mistrust of religious people is every bit as bad as so-called Satanic panic. And as much as people ridicule that prosecution theory, you don’t have to believe in Satan to know that “satan” has been the motivation for many crimes- night stalker Richard Ramirez being just one of them. Ridiculous as Slenderman is two girls attempted a murder on his behalf.
Hobbs had no hesitation to give DNA samples and passed a polygraph test with ease., however Echols did not… there was deception in his answers. Hobbs was a suspect because Pamela Hobbs family accused him because they had a volatile relationship.
So you think all the evidence was good enough to send a kid to death row? Beyond reasonable doubt was proven? I don’t think so, too many uncertainties, the cops were under so much pressure to convict that most of the circumstantial evidence was tailored, they put out this scary boogey man story but it just didn’t seem to fit. Again I’m not saying they did or didn’t commit those murders, I am saying that it definitely wasn’t proven beyond reasonable doubt
@@reinierboermans7459 I’m Aussie, I don’t believe in the death penalty, its outdated and a repulsive form of punishment, but I strongly believe they were guilty, circumstantial evidence or not. They were released as guilty men and time served, people confuse that for innocence. Books were written and documentaries were always made in favour for the accused, which heavily influenced the public. Echols behaviour leading up to the crime was extremely disturbing, such as sickening animal cruelty and stalking young boys at a skating rink for weeks but the documentaries will not reveal any of that. Let’s be honest here… with all advanced forensic science and top notch profiling in USA, if there was ‘3 other people’ that murdered those little boys, the crime would’ve been solved. What’s even more sickening is how much money the accused make and continue to do so from this crime. So unfair to the victims families..
@@kokoda7734 I love Australia! I’m originally from Holland and couldn’t agree more about the death penalty, but the evidence presented was highly circumstantial, fabricated (the knife supposedly used) , a leaked coerced confession, it just was, the detectives leading Jesse to make the story fit the facts… thing is they needed to close this case, there was so much pressure on the county, but the evidence just didn’t rise to the level of beyond reasonable doubt. I agree that the documentaries were far from unbiased. But if you read the information released by biased websites against the 3 defendants you see that even there it’s still circumstantial. I was obsessed with this case and read up as much as I could. It’s so sad that we’ll likely never know without a doubt who was responsible….
@@tigerslilly actually that’s not true. They made a plea deal and were released as guilty men but time served. The celebrities raised millions to pay for a dream legal team, the same legal team that defended OJ Simpson. They wanted only certain evidence to be tested and was denied. I suppose u think OJ is innocent too? Are u aware of Misskelley’s violent past? He assaulted many kids and found it humorous. Did u know that Echols had an extremely violent history? He threatened to kill his ex gf and her bf, tried to kill her father. Stalked kids at a local skating rink for weeks leading up to the crime. Taunted and blew kisses to the parents of the victims in the courtroom. And... he brutally tortured a sick dog to death. The injuries to the dog are to gruesome to mention, also killed smaller animals. The trouble is, people are so influenced by celebs and believe in documentaries that favour the defendants rather than do their homework about the case.
2:44 - “we knew they were satanists because everybody just assumed it” I have a feeling the irony of making that statement might be lost on that dude 😅
May the 3 angels rest in peace, i hope their families can have justice for their loved babies. And I hope Jessie, Damien and Jason can be happy and finally find some peace after prove that they are, in fact, innocents.
7:03 it makes me sad seeing Mark Byers talk about Stevie... and it's despicable how he was treated after the murders.. he was just an eccentric histrionic person. Was he weird yeah so what he had a brain tumor!! so many of the supporters have said and done awful things to him..he had an alibi and passed a polygraph and they still point the finger at him. And he's no longer alive and here to defend himself...
Everyone related to the 3 boys sheds tears and or shows true, genuine, sorrow when speaking about them or their deaths. Everyone, EXCEPT Terry Hobbs. Maybe he is innocent.....but never tears or actual sadness with that guy?
@@ryanwilliams9289 Terry has NOTHING to hide. He talks on all kinds of shows, even shows supporting the three killer’s innocence. Terry was not even a suspect then. Contrary to the PROPAGANDA you are foolishly believing, Terry went out several times that night looking for the children. He cried when the bodies were found. He comforted his wife. Damien? Damien TAUNTED the family of the victims. Damien really was in a Satanic Cult. Are you aware of what they were doing and leading up to? Are you open to the truth Ryan? Or are you projecting your own issues/bias onto this case? Echols is a pathological liar and brilliant con man. Who remains legally guilty.
It's sad also that the city tries to save face by acting like they are doing something special for the kids Memorial but the best thing they can do for the kids memory is to have David Barnett disbarred and charged as a criminal for possession of a stolen firearm from the DTF Locker that was being investigated by the FBI at the time of these murders and the fact that he was involved along with Gary gitchell in the illegal drug dealing and Prophets of said drug dealing I think it's obvious when you look at the rest of the investigators and their history of trouble after this case proves very clearly this was a corrupt police force I grew up Judicial System started out with a very corrupt judge in David Barnett very corrupt prosecutors in fogleman and the fact that they were profiting off of the stolen drugs out of the West Memphis Police Department drug Locker that's why there's ties to Mark buyers and ties to Terry Hobbs because they were both informants
It disgusts me that ppl can watch a documentary & think otherwise. At the press conference when they were released Misskelly look overtaken by guilt & remorse as if he was going to confess again, the other two looked scared he'd spill the beans again.

Jason didn’t want to take the Alfred plea he was willing to continue sitting in prison he had sat so long already but Damien’s health was failing and he was running out of appeals. Jason said he only took the plea because “ they were going to kill Damien “
I would like to argue about this so someone could actually learn the truth someone come back at me with a comment one by one of reasons you think they're innocent
Because anyone that's been following this case since 93 and has a rational thinking mind knows there's more evidence that supports there innocents you dork I'd like to hear just one atheist say they are guilty are you an atheist by chance? You just hate Damian and that he's different doesn't mean he murdered those kids the cops did such a great job especially losing blood evidence from the Bojangles restaurant what about the gal that saw Terry Hobbs around 6:00 before she left for church? said she saw all 3 boys and Terry along with a hair that could possibly be his that was found in the shoe strings funny how there were different knots tied didn't Terry have a job that requires knowing how to tie different knots? or what about the Hobbs family secret ? There's more circumstantial evidence showing that Terry was the killer didn't he beat Stevie? Also Pam knew about the pocket knife Stevie carried and she was ok with it funny how she found that knife with Terrys stuff ? And your wanting to argue that the wm3 are really guilty? Gtfo
Not gonna happen. The people who support them never ever point out anything that proves innocence. They always come back with the same answer. Terry Hobbs. That's it. One strand of hair. That's your proof of innocence.
@@Victoria12339 because everyone who thinks they are innocent have not bothered to do their homework about the whole case. They are dumb enough to believe celebrities and documentaries that favour the accused.
I always knew they were innocent. Who are the new suspects? I’d heard that one of the little kids step dad’s had something to do with it. But then never heard anything about that again. Sad the whole thing & shame on the state of Arkansas.
Terry Hobbs. The one that molested his own son. Then molested the daughter he had with Pam (who’s son is Stevie. Not terrys son). Terrys actions before and after are for more suspect than anyone else involved. People thought Mark Byers was “guilty”. But that was based off his look and his mental deficiency. Only Terry has been involved/accused of sex offenses. And sex acts with his friends. Says a lot more than “so n so wore black all the time. Or listened to slayer.”
I agree. To put all of these people and familes through this, and they can do testing , a little investigation, and find out the truth. It's disgusting .
6 lives changed forever because the police took the word of a kid who thought he could get a bit of the reward money, a lad of 16 with a mental age of a 8 year old, you only have to listen to that taped confession to know he knew nothing about it, so many details wrong. Today 2022 I think back in 1993 police in West memphis had never experienced any thing like this in their lives, its truly sad that with a heavy heart that I say evidence was lost thrown away and likely on purpose. I say heavy heart because I truly believe the police just bent to pressure but believed they had the killers. Those poor babies, but just as sad those poor lads 6 lives forever ruined. Of course my heart goes out to the families but one family knows the truth because one dad/step dad was there. Why won't the courts allow for new facts new technology be used to clear or even prove who the killers were, are they waiting until the last policeman connected to pass away ! Police in every country in the world make mistakes, we see proff of that every day, I just pray for those children and those boys lives that took a massive wrong turn due to a boy with a low IQ thought he could get a bit of money
Why would you confess to killing a child or being involved with killing them? He said HE WANTED SOMETHING DONE. Sometimes even killers have a conscious.
That vile sociopath Terry Hobbs did it. The state refuses to put it to rest with a simple DNA test because they'd rather save face than serve justice. It is nauseating and shows how evil pride can be.
Shame on the state for not wanting to seriously stay proactive in this case. Furthermore, especially considering the shit they pulled, to not feel obligated to reparations is sickening.
Naw I never killed dogs and pledged allegiance to the devil,I never bragged about killing those boys and planned to kill 2 more in public, I never tried to drink anyone's blood,I have never lied multiple times about where I was the night they were killed,I've never had multiple witnesses claim to have seen me near the crime scene that night,I've never had possession of a weapon that was the exact same as one used in the crimes,and I never had a friend who's confessed atleast 10 times with details of the murder that checked out, OH and I also never gave police info that was unknown to the public about the crime scene.

No A neighbor saw the boys with Hobbs and another man . Nobody ever questioned her she thought the police were aware that Hobbs was with the boys at the time she saw them but they weren’t. Nobody was for some reason Hobbs never mentioned it. He was the last person - him and his “friend” - to see those boys alive.
I was glad to see Mr. Byers realize the WM3 did not do this. I stood 10 feet from Mr Byers many years ago, before he had his change, and at a time when, due to the HBO documentaries, I thought he might have some accountability. I said nothing, but put myself between my godson and Mr. Byers in case he "broke bad". I hope all 3 of the WM3 find peace and someday can clear their names and take a wrecking ball to all of the bad laws and policies Arkansas enacted to justify and ensconce into law all of the mishandling of this case.
what most people don't realise is the 200 page report on damien ecles describing his incarceration in a mental institution in the year prior to this event. Although it was not used against him in the trial it was introduced after conviction to try and avoid the death penalty. His behaviour was bizarre to say the least. Jesse Miskelly confessed not once, but on 5 separate occasions. The 3 teenagers were drunk when they did this crime. Eccles black trench coat which he wore everywhere and would have been covered in blood mysteriously disappeared after the crime. 100% guilty as charged. Only the celebrity money and million dollar lawyers got them out of jail early.
Well I don’t hear anything about the footprint on the pipe bridge , and why didn’t they check people shoes that the suspected were guilty or the ones closest to the kids, did they not check ,John Byers shoes , terry Hobbs or Jacoby seems like they would have checked the shoes of terry and Jacoby since their hair was found near the place the little kids bodies were found,

One of the 3 actually confessed to the crime in graphic detail. Do good or even decent people go out of their way to try and free a child murderer? This wasn't about goth music either....then all the student testimony saying how fd up one of the three were.
A2B is correct. Johnny Depp gave over his allegiance to Satan for fame and money. He was arrested, taken to Gitmo and went before a military tribunal for the Satanic Ritual Crimes against infants and children. Crimes against humanity is the legal name. He has since been executed along with many from Hollywood involved in these heinous murders. They were all Adrenochrome addicts. If you do see them on TV, these are CGI images, old footage of them, doubles, or clones. This is the truth. Do I believe these three are guilty...yes. You are judged by the company you keep. Satan freed them all right...for a price. Always know where your little ones are. In Satan's economy...where much is given, much is required. A follower of Jesus Christ and a researcher.
Why? Because he stands up for innocent men on death row??? Because he does not believe in blind injustice??? Because he won't fall in line with the hang em high club??? JD IS a good person. This only adds more proof to the pudding.
Sooo… u think they all came together and conspired all of this? LOL. .. despite being convicted, confessions, history of violence and stalking of young kids, animal cruelty, knowing details of the crime that wasn’t released to public… the list goes on.. maybe u should look a bit deeper into the accused lives and case details before thinking there was a conspiracy against them.
. He actually left $a!em. The witches and the mediums of $a!em were creeped out by him and they were also convinced of his guilt and they even created website page to keep tabs on what he was doing -- at all times -- because most of them fel that he he was both guilty and dangerous. . There is an eye-opening book about this case called -- *"ABOMINATION: **_Devil Worship and Deception_* *_in the West Memphis Murders"_* -- which was -- written *BY* -- famed attorney *WILLIAM RAMSEY* . .
I feel like this case was so mishandled that we will never know what happened to those poor children. That is just terrible. Their poor parents. Not only to have to live through something so awful happening to your children but to then never know what happened because of how screwed up the investigation was. Hurts my heart.

Its about $, not paying millions in compensation to the WM3 & careers. They knew who did it before the "Alfred" plea, there's even DNA. Innocence means compensation, the prosecutor became a Judge & continued the cover up.
Terry Hobbs killed those boys

Yes he did
The most actual evidence does point to him.
Quite possibly
@@valtoton2982 there’s no evidence at all. Hobbs gave DNA with no issues and passed a polygraph test.

You can always tell when there's corruption when a couple decades go by and new staff is hired then they suddenly solve the crime. Just like the Long Island Serial Killer case that just broke wide open due to the assembly of a task force last year. Major corruption in the LISK case.
The step dad of the one kid killed them as revenge for his mom cheating on him. He was evil. His eyes his laugh. Plain evil. I believe in my soul he did it.
Go and do some soul searching. Mr. Bojangles did it🗣️
@@maiden1520no Terry Hobbs did it
You can not even name the victim. That one kid had a name. Stevie . Pam his own mom stayed married to Terry for 20 years after the boys were killed.
I knew Pam and Terry well. And he was very upset about her cheating on him. He was a very violent man. I saw it with my own eyes
Pam and Terry separated not long after Steve’s death
I hate it when people are willing to kill just anybody to get revenge!! innocent or guilty!!
Damien taunting grieving parents in court and laughing. Just normal behavior for a teen accused or triple murder., I am told. Simply a youthful indiscretion.
He also blew kisses at the victims parents you can see that evidence in the juror notes.
Guess that's normal too smh
He was a child wrongly accused I do not blame him! I blame Arkansas! Sad
I don't guess you were ever young, stupid, and ignorant of how the world works. Do you ACTUALLY believe Arkansas would free 3 men convicted of the brutal murders of 3 kids?

Oddly, enough… their elementary schools name is my middle name.
This case is an example of how backwards the south(and eastern) states thinking is. It’s as easy as “they look evil!!!” “That’s satans music!!!”
Of course this happens all over. But I believe in the South it’s the quickest/common response. It’s disgusting.
Just lucky they never flipped the switch on Damien 🇬🇧
It's also something to be said about high humidity low oxygen to the brain, Laziness, complete lack of ambition and follow through, evidence of bloody prints excetra were just left even though it was in a public place, upon going back it was destroyed just completely 3 stooges investigation.

This case is so infuriating. When the teens were arrested, they looked guilty as hell! Damien showing no care for the whole thing was just strange. Maybe he was putting on a tough guy act but man who acts like that when being accused of murdering children. And miskelly confessing on several different occasions, on the record and off the record.
They seems guilty as all hell.
Then there's terry Hobbs. His reactions and interviews make him seem super guilty. I just don't know for sure and I hope the truth comes out one day.
They were kids too, and you can’t determine guilt based on people’s reactions. In the late 90’s I was a tough, angry teenager with a strong opposition to authority. I can’t imagine reacting with indifference to this situation, but I can see myself being “inappropriate” at the absurdity of the allegations. The whole “satanic panic” phase of the general public was so outrageous it was laughable.
I don’t think the evidence supported the allegations, and it was reminiscent of a witch hunt. It’s such a nightmare for everyone, and it’s just so sad
The teens were innocent. The authorities had no evidence other than the coerced confession from a mentally ill child. "They looked guilty as hell"🙄😏 You're a moron.
They did it!! Proof!! The look on misskelley in this episode.
Echols seeming arrogant could be that he had a pretty rough upbringing. The WM3 to me was a horrible witch-hunt. No evidence at all. Just the law taking advantage of a juvenile with learning problems being wrongly interrogated and coerced.
Interesting Damen cant look her in the eye when he is talking....I dont think the one kid would of implicated HIMSELF and these other 2 clowns UNLESS he/they was/were involved.
They're innocent
The one who said they did it was mentally disabled with the mind of a 5yr old they kept badgering him and cohersed him into saying he saw something he didn't dna is how they were set free their innocent
That dumbass Jessie was after the reward money she he told the police that they were guilty but he jut chased the Moore boy down and held him til the other two got him , Jessie is the one who should have been in the nut house and not Damion, and absolutely nothing wrong in wearing black clothes or the kind of music they liked,
Why hasn't anyone one brought up the facts of misinterpreted evidence and the courts saying final even though they know they screwed up
I watched this three times, but I believe the daddy did it.
how dd 1 man manage to tie up 3 boys without one of them getting away? Stop drinking the cool aid. Damien even went around bragging about it to everyone!
Bit of a coincidence,the cop that " fell" on the body of one of the kids,in the lake..maybe a cop was involved,and theres a coverup
They 100% committed the murders lol.
Anyone who says otherwise has only watched a couple documentaries, and called it a day.
The really damaging evidence was cherry picked out of all these documentaries lol.
.
Exactly !
.
It still blows my mind how they haven’t found out who did this sick crime. I still think it was Terry Hobbs
EVERYONE who watched the docs uncritically thinks it’s Hobbs, that was the intent of the doc. And before that it was Byers. The ring in your nose is showing.
I thought Byers was a whack job But never thought he killed them
@@TheGeosto actually there was one of the docs that pointed to Hobbs not all three and everything I have seen and read(which is a lot) makes me very suspicious of him but unlike others I am not willing to say he is guilty just like I am not willing to say the three convicted are innocent but there was not enough evidence,if any, to convict them. This tragedy is completely the fault of the police that did not do a proper investigation they simply focused on a suspect and tried to find evidence to convict him. The first place they should have started was the three victims families and they did not interview Terry until months if not years later. I do not agree with how the defense did certain things such as trying to throw suspicion on a number of people including David Jacoby whose life was ruined. I wish everyone would step up and demand a thorough and fair investigation to solve this horrific murder of three little boys and stop just throwing accusations at the three that were,to me, wrongfully convicted and anybody else that seems suspicious let the investigation prove who did it and not a bunch of keyboard detectives. As long as a proper investigation is not done nothing will change the fact that three little boys were murdered and no one is being held responsible. Please don’t respond with the three that did it were held responsible unless you are willing to site clear and convincing evidence that is not the “confession” the wax or some random threads found
They got the perps
It was not Terry Hobbs.
I can't stand the thought of never finding out who killed these boys. I hate the fact that Mark Byers died before finding out something. I didn't know you had passed. I was wanting to reach out and write a letter to both him and Pam and to find out he's dead was quite a surprise. Poor Pam, I feel like she's all alone now.
I guess that it makes sense that it's somebody that they knew because if it was a stranger passing through what need would they have to try to hide everything like they did? If they were just passing through all they had to do was get in your truck and leave. Only someone that feels they have an obvious link to these boys would feel the need to try to hide the body center like some clothes the way they did. As far as Terry Hobbs goes I just don't know. I mean he was supposed to have his little sister with him watching the both of them while Pam was at work so when she have seen something if she was with him the whole time? Maybe Stevie and them came in the house and caught him doing something to his little sister? And the Bojangles guy that is a big what if as well. I mean that Bojangles was right down the street. How shity was that cop didn't even get out of the car and investigate the bathroom or nothing. Then the other guy says he lost the evidence that they did come back and get which I don't believe.
One more thing that runs up my spine is when they were in court and that bald-headed cop says that "Jesse simply misunderstood". Who in the hell are you to make that kind of claim!? What kind of judge would allow that statement? What kind of damn jewelry would listen to that statement and accept it?!
What about that specialist that got his degree by mail and when the lawyer raised to think about it that judge says "I don't believe you have to take any classes to be certified and expert in something". What kind of a moronic statement is that!? Of course you need to have some sort of actual education in a field that you're an expert in to be classified in actual expert. Sorry, I could g on and on.
Pam was with Terry hobbes tho not Byers right? And I think it was hobbes DNA at the crimescene and his friend jacoby dna was found as well and eye witneses of seeing him with the boys before disappearing
I think Terry Hobbs did it as well and had help. The police had no leads at the time and the people wanted someone to blame which put great pressure on the police to lock up anyone at the time and the Judge if you want to call him that was a fuckin idiot

@@gcroller93 please keep David Jacoby’s name out of this he was not Terry’s best friend and that DNA you speak of was consistent with 14% of the population he did nothing and has been honest from the beginning just watch the interview with him his life was ruined because of accusations like this. The investigation and the trial were a farce but the team for the WM3 have done some things that are in the same level as what was done to three teens at the time.

It scares me so much that satanic panic never really died in small towns like that. I’ve lived in small towns like that before, as an outsider from the city who just didn’t fit in. Now it seems we are sliding back down that hole. I wonder how many more young, inexperienced with life people have gone down for horrible things they didn’t do. I feel the most for Jesse, out of the three wrongfully convicted. He was used for his disability to take them all down. He also sounds like he has a lot of trust issues.
Your hate and mistrust of religious people is every bit as bad as so-called Satanic panic. And as much as people ridicule that prosecution theory, you don’t have to believe in Satan to know that “satan” has been the motivation for many crimes- night stalker Richard Ramirez being just one of them. Ridiculous as Slenderman is two girls attempted a murder on his behalf.
my heart breaks every time I see those innocent, bright faces
and murderer Hobbs walking free
Hobbs had no hesitation to give DNA samples and passed a polygraph test with ease., however Echols did not… there was deception in his answers. Hobbs was a suspect because Pamela Hobbs family accused him because they had a volatile relationship.
Makes me sick to my stomach how people think these kids were innocent. It’s amazing how much influence celebrities have over the public.
So you think all the evidence was good enough to send a kid to death row? Beyond reasonable doubt was proven? I don’t think so, too many uncertainties, the cops were under so much pressure to convict that most of the circumstantial evidence was tailored, they put out this scary boogey man story but it just didn’t seem to fit. Again I’m not saying they did or didn’t commit those murders, I am saying that it definitely wasn’t proven beyond reasonable doubt
@@reinierboermans7459 I’m Aussie, I don’t believe in the death penalty, its outdated and a repulsive form of punishment, but I strongly believe they were guilty, circumstantial evidence or not. They were released as guilty men and time served, people confuse that for innocence. Books were written and documentaries were always made in favour for the accused, which heavily influenced the public. Echols behaviour leading up to the crime was extremely disturbing, such as sickening animal cruelty and stalking young boys at a skating rink for weeks but the documentaries will not reveal any of that. Let’s be honest here… with all advanced forensic science and top notch profiling in USA, if there was ‘3 other people’ that murdered those little boys, the crime would’ve been solved. What’s even more sickening is how much money the accused make and continue to do so from this crime. So unfair to the victims families..

I’m originally from Holland and couldn’t agree more about the death penalty, but the evidence presented was highly circumstantial, fabricated (the knife supposedly used) , a leaked coerced confession, it just was, the detectives leading Jesse to make the story fit the facts… thing is they needed to close this case, there was so much pressure on the county, but the evidence just didn’t rise to the level of beyond reasonable doubt. I agree that the documentaries were far from unbiased. But if you read the information released by biased websites against the 3 defendants you see that even there it’s still circumstantial. I was obsessed with this case and read up as much as I could. It’s so sad that we’ll likely never know without a doubt who was responsible….
They are innocent and all the evidence proves that
@@tigerslilly actually that’s not true. They made a plea deal and were released as guilty men but time served. The celebrities raised millions to pay for a dream legal team, the same legal team that defended OJ Simpson. They wanted only certain evidence to be tested and was denied. I suppose u think OJ is innocent too?
Are u aware of Misskelley’s violent past? He assaulted many kids and found it humorous.
Did u know that Echols had an extremely violent history? He threatened to kill his ex gf and her bf, tried to kill her father. Stalked kids at a local skating rink for weeks leading up to the crime. Taunted and blew kisses to the parents of the victims in the courtroom. And... he brutally tortured a sick dog to death. The injuries to the dog are to gruesome to mention, also killed smaller animals.
The trouble is, people are so influenced by celebs and believe in documentaries that favour the defendants rather than do their homework about the case.
2:44 - “we knew they were satanists because everybody just assumed it”
I have a feeling the irony of making that statement might be lost on that dude 😅
May the 3 angels rest in peace, i hope their families can have justice for their loved babies. And I hope Jessie, Damien and Jason can be happy and finally find some peace after prove that they are, in fact, innocents.
They are not innocent and are still considered convicted felons convicted child killers do your research
they are still considered to have maintained innocence.@@jeremyparnell1482
They were never proven to be innocent. Nothing even close. Their convictions were not overturned. They are guilty as sin
As soon as Terry Hobbs is convicted this will all be closed and solved
no evidence at all. Terry Hobbs did not do this. Why do you claims that? Because Damien says that. Oh please!!
😂😂😂
Hobbs is definitely sketchy af.
Hobbs have DNA and passed a polygraph test with ease. The only reason he was a suspect is because Pamela Hobbs family accused him.
Always thought it was Byers myself, we've all got our reasons to play detective...... 🇬🇧
Horrifié, story. Meilleur soutien de France
7:03 it makes me sad seeing Mark Byers talk about Stevie... and it's despicable how he was treated after the murders.. he was just an eccentric histrionic person. Was he weird yeah so what he had a brain tumor!! so many of the supporters have said and done awful things to him..he had an alibi and passed a polygraph and they still point the finger at him. And he's no longer alive and here to defend himself...
Everyone related to the 3 boys sheds tears and or shows true, genuine, sorrow when speaking about them or their deaths. Everyone, EXCEPT Terry Hobbs. Maybe he is innocent.....but never tears or actual sadness with that guy?
How they were tied up; sealed who did it for me.
@@ryanwilliams9289 you and Keelie are fools. Damien TALKED ABOUT CORD BINDING!! You are no honest
HIs hair is in the shoe laces! Not of Stevie.
The knot, eg tied in there and he would not give up his DNA
@@ryanwilliams9289 Terry has NOTHING to hide. He talks on all kinds of shows, even shows supporting the three killer’s innocence. Terry was not even a suspect then. Contrary to the PROPAGANDA you are foolishly believing, Terry went out several times that night looking for the children. He cried when the bodies were found. He comforted his wife.
Damien? Damien TAUNTED the family of the victims. Damien really was in a Satanic Cult. Are you aware of what they were doing and leading up to? Are you open to the truth Ryan? Or are you projecting your own issues/bias onto this case? Echols is a pathological liar and brilliant con man. Who remains legally guilty.
It's sad also that the city tries to save face by acting like they are doing something special for the kids Memorial but the best thing they can do for the kids memory is to have David Barnett disbarred and charged as a criminal for possession of a stolen firearm from the DTF Locker that was being investigated by the FBI at the time of these murders and the fact that he was involved along with Gary gitchell in the illegal drug dealing and Prophets of said drug dealing I think it's obvious when you look at the rest of the investigators and their history of trouble after this case proves very clearly this was a corrupt police force I grew up Judicial System started out with a very corrupt judge in David Barnett very corrupt prosecutors in fogleman and the fact that they were profiting off of the stolen drugs out of the West Memphis Police Department drug Locker that's why there's ties to Mark buyers and ties to Terry Hobbs because they were both informants
So sad remember this story
They are guilty as sin..
You too.
It disgusts me that ppl can watch a documentary & think otherwise. At the press conference when they were released Misskelly look overtaken by guilt & remorse as if he was going to confess again, the other two looked scared he'd spill the beans again.
🐂
@@user-pi4su6je8p they are free walking the streets and yet they want DNA tested .. they took a deal because the state knows they messed this case up from day one .. if I was guilty of such a thing and you let me out I'm not say n 💩 . Yet theses men have pushed the police to actually investigate the crime and want DNA tested ... Yet again showing they are innocent... Don't understand how you can't see that
@@user-pi4su6je8p where do you see that? The facts are the facts, no DNA belonging to them was found, remind me, who’s DNA DID they find?
‘Nuff said
Still waiting on a Jessie Misskelley interview. Maybe in another 20 years.
He won't do it!! He knows what happened.
Ellison" the defendants can claim they're not guilty ..but they just plead guilty" well you never gave them much of choice there did you scotty....you've got their nuts in a vice its either staying in prison and fight which everyone knows especially you that theyd never be free'd of take this crap sandwich of a deal and go home after 18 years of pain torture and violence all for nothing ....as long as the state looks good
Jason didn’t want to take the Alfred plea he was willing to continue sitting in prison he had sat so long already but Damien’s health was failing and he was running out of appeals. Jason said he only took the plea because “ they were going to kill Damien “
Twice convicted. Guilty.
I would like to argue about this so someone could actually learn the truth someone come back at me with a comment one by one of reasons you think they're innocent
Because anyone that's been following this case since 93 and has a rational thinking mind knows there's more evidence that supports there innocents you dork I'd like to hear just one atheist say they are guilty are you an atheist by chance? You just hate Damian and that he's different doesn't mean he murdered those kids the cops did such a great job especially losing blood evidence from the Bojangles restaurant what about the gal that saw Terry Hobbs around 6:00 before she left for church? said she saw all 3 boys and Terry along with a hair that could possibly be his that was found in the shoe strings funny how there were different knots tied didn't Terry have a job that requires knowing how to tie different knots? or what about the Hobbs family secret ? There's more circumstantial evidence showing that Terry was the killer didn't he beat Stevie? Also Pam knew about the pocket knife Stevie carried and she was ok with it funny how she found that knife with Terrys stuff ? And your wanting to argue that the wm3 are really guilty? Gtfo
@@echohotel7975 name one thing that points toward their innocence
Not gonna happen. The people who support them never ever point out anything that proves innocence. They always come back with the same answer. Terry Hobbs. That's it. One strand of hair. That's your proof of innocence.
@@Victoria12339 because everyone who thinks they are innocent have not bothered to do their homework about the whole case. They are dumb enough to believe celebrities and documentaries that favour the accused.
Your a nutcase ....
West Memphis Three are guilty.
Sad they cut the woods down
I always knew they were innocent. Who are the new suspects? I’d heard that one of the little kids step dad’s had something to do with it. But then never heard anything about that again. Sad the whole thing & shame on the state of Arkansas.
Terry Hobbs. The one that molested his own son. Then molested the daughter he had with Pam (who’s son is Stevie. Not terrys son).
Terrys actions before and after are for more suspect than anyone else involved. People thought Mark Byers was “guilty”. But that was based off his look and his mental deficiency.
Only Terry has been involved/accused of sex offenses. And sex acts with his friends. Says a lot more than “so n so wore black all the time. Or listened to slayer.”
I agree. To put all of these people and familes through this, and they can do testing , a little investigation, and find out the truth. It's disgusting .
Those beautiful boys need justice and hobby needs to come forward. Free his soul
Killers hunting for killers
The irony is blindingly obvious
The guilty individuals are the authorities who ballsed up the investigation process and denied those children justice, regardless of culprit(s).
Same thing happened with the JonBenet case
6 lives changed forever because the police took the word of a kid who thought he could get a bit of the reward money, a lad of 16 with a mental age of a 8 year old, you only have to listen to that taped confession to know he knew nothing about it, so many details wrong. Today 2022 I think back in 1993 police in West memphis had never experienced any thing like this in their lives, its truly sad that with a heavy heart that I say evidence was lost thrown away and likely on purpose. I say heavy heart because I truly believe the police just bent to pressure but believed they had the killers. Those poor babies, but just as sad those poor lads 6 lives forever ruined. Of course my heart goes out to the families but one family knows the truth because one dad/step dad was there. Why won't the courts allow for new facts new technology be used to clear or even prove who the killers were, are they waiting until the last policeman connected to pass away ! Police in every country in the world make mistakes, we see proff of that every day, I just pray for those children and those boys lives that took a massive wrong turn due to a boy with a low IQ thought he could get a bit of money
Why would you confess to killing a child or being involved with killing them? He said HE WANTED SOMETHING DONE. Sometimes even killers have a conscious.
I believe those three killed those three little boys. Just looking at them watching them and listening to them makes me sick.
I think the killer is Terry Hobbs
.i dont believe in judging a book by its cover-but you are right!
They should sue for wrongful imprisonment
They can’t because the fuckers are still by law…they should still be in prison and Damien should be under the jail like planned 💉
They can’t sue. They accepted an Alford plea which does not permit them to sue.
They were never wrongfully charged so they can't
Good point, don't you think they would if they were ever wrongfully that is wrongfully imprisoned
Good stuff r.i.p. to the kids
So sad to think that person or person's still out there. R.I.P. all 3 in God's hands now.😢😢😢
That vile sociopath Terry Hobbs did it. The state refuses to put it to rest with a simple DNA test because they'd rather save face than serve justice. It is nauseating and shows how evil pride can be.
Devil hysteria. Ah the South.
Shame on the state for not wanting to seriously stay proactive in this case. Furthermore, especially considering the shit they pulled, to not feel obligated to reparations is sickening.
You say the Memphis 3 are the suspects that went to prison I say the Memphis 3 are the victims their selves deal with that Social media
Never forget. It could have been you accused falsely. Remember Hobbs the last person to see them before their death.
Naw I never killed dogs and pledged allegiance to the devil,I never bragged about killing those boys and planned to kill 2 more in public, I never tried to drink anyone's blood,I have never lied multiple times about where I was the night they were killed,I've never had multiple witnesses claim to have seen me near the crime scene that night,I've never had possession of a weapon that was the exact same as one used in the crimes,and I never had a friend who's confessed atleast 10 times with details of the murder that checked out, OH and I also never gave police info that was unknown to the public about the crime scene. And I could name much much more that Damien did that got him convicted for this crime
@@necessaryevile best reply of all time on this subject
The last person to see them before their death was Damien Echols
No A neighbor saw the boys with Hobbs and another man . Nobody ever questioned her she thought the police were aware that Hobbs was with the boys at the time she saw them but they weren’t. Nobody was for some reason Hobbs never mentioned it. He was the last person - him and his “friend” - to see those boys alive.
why would the step dad do it.
I was glad to see Mr. Byers realize the WM3 did not do this. I stood 10 feet from Mr Byers many years ago, before he had his change, and at a time when, due to the HBO documentaries, I thought he might have some accountability. I said nothing, but put myself between my godson and Mr. Byers in case he "broke bad". I hope all 3 of the WM3 find peace and someday can clear their names and take a wrecking ball to all of the bad laws and policies Arkansas enacted to justify and ensconce into law all of the mishandling of this case.
what most people don't realise is the 200 page report on damien ecles describing his incarceration in a mental institution in the year prior to this event. Although it was not used against him in the trial it was introduced after conviction to try and avoid the death penalty. His behaviour was bizarre to say the least.
Jesse Miskelly confessed not once, but on 5 separate occasions. The 3 teenagers were drunk when they did this crime. Eccles black trench coat which he wore everywhere and would have been covered in blood mysteriously disappeared after the crime.
100% guilty as charged. Only the celebrity money and million dollar lawyers got them out of jail early.
.
Yep
Also ...
It's '500' pages long and
it is called ' Exhibit - 5 0 0 '
and his defense compiled it.
.
Man. They did this and they know it. Our justice system failed us by letting them out.
Money talks… he represented by the same legal team that defended OJ Simpson. Says a lot…
Well I don’t hear anything about the footprint on the pipe bridge , and why didn’t they check people shoes that the suspected were guilty or the ones closest to the kids, did they not check ,John Byers shoes , terry Hobbs or Jacoby seems like they would have checked the shoes of terry and Jacoby since their hair was found near the place the little kids bodies were found,
JESSIE RAN CUS HE KNOWS THEY'RE GUILTY AND ALWAYS HAS
16:19 “Ripping old wounds open again and again.” Sometimes the answer really was in front of us the whole time.
Oh Boy, more another lazy TV “journalist” does a “book report”….nothing to learn here….
The people that were psychic or had gifts were persecuted and hung from trees called witches. We now walk free like it should’ve always been.
You need to research history.

Watch this just in case you think Johny Depp is a good person.
because he believes that he is a innocent,that is why he is a bed person?
@@marishamugia8969 he is an admitted SATANIST who surrounds himself with satanists. He has a warped view of reality which is why he supported a child murderer. One of the 3 actually confessed to the crime in graphic detail. Do good or even decent people go out of their way to try and free a child murderer? This wasn't about goth music either....then all the student testimony saying how fd up one of the three were.
A2B is correct. Johnny Depp gave over his allegiance to Satan for fame and money. He was arrested, taken to Gitmo and went before a military tribunal for the Satanic Ritual Crimes against infants and children. Crimes against humanity is the legal name. He has since been executed along with many from Hollywood involved in these heinous murders. They were all Adrenochrome addicts. If you do see them on TV, these are CGI images, old footage of them, doubles, or clones. This is the truth. Do I believe these three are guilty...yes. You are judged by the company you keep. Satan freed them all right...for a price. Always know where your little ones are. In Satan's economy...where much is given, much is required. A follower of Jesus Christ and a researcher.
Why? Because he stands up for innocent men on death row??? Because he does not believe in blind injustice??? Because he won't fall in line with the hang em high club??? JD IS a good person. This only adds more proof to the pudding.
@@paulriordan7582 This is all speculation.
Bad durty cop's and prosecutors.....GOD will rekening with them
Sooo… u think they all came together and conspired all of this? LOL. .. despite being convicted, confessions, history of violence and stalking of young kids, animal cruelty, knowing details of the crime that wasn’t released to public… the list goes on.. maybe u should look a bit deeper into the accused lives and case details before thinking there was a conspiracy against them.
My gut feeling says Phoebe Branch's stepfather did this somebody needs to investigate him he has got guilty written all over his face
I know that the truth will come out.
Most of the Attorneys, proscuters, judges and detectivies were University of Arkansas graduates !
Omg he lives in Salem 🥰🥰🥰

He actually left $a!em.
The witches and the mediums of $a!em
were creeped out by him and they were
also convinced of his guilt and they even
created website page to keep tabs on
what he was doing -- at all times --
because most of them fel that he
he was both guilty and dangerous.
