- LIVE from the NYPL | Recorded live at the New York Public Library, Celeste Bartos Forum, on November 12, 2012
Damien Echols spent eighteen years on death row before being released. His book Life After Death recounts his story about upending the ruling that threatened to end his life, and he has also worked with Peter Jackson on the film West of Memphis. We were fortunate to have him at LIVE from the NYPL in conversation with musician and actor Henry Rollins. The two spoke about life in prison, hope, and writing.
Inspiring interview - i actually got chills at the end. You are so calm and collected it is unreal.

It's an act.

Cannot believe I'm just finding this
Crazy right
Same here.
I know right
Same
How could you not know about this??
So impressed by this man. His resilience & hard-won wisdom are a lesson to us all.
I’m not the one still arguing for his guilt even after the State of Arkansas conceded to set him free, but ok.
@@htrix3765 Hes still technically guilty though
@@hayleylfc7506 Yeah, but for some reason goofy, know-nothing WM3 supporters equate their being set free - the result of an extremely rare and unusual plea deal - with being exonerated.
I know! The fact that he is still sane after ten years in solitary confinement is astounding!
Let it be a lesson to "you" pal... not all of us are that stupid.
I love the bit where Echols honours the memory of Stevie Michael and Christopher, where he says their names and wishes for justice for those brutalised bpys who died such awful deaths in Robin Hood Hills, and where he says THEIR tragedy haunts him as much as his own incarceration, that they received their own life sentences in their deaths and that THEY should never be forgotten.
I really love that and i replay it over again to remind me of who the real WM3 are and what people with discernment, and maturity and half a brain have fought for all over the world! True honouring of those boys' memories.
He killed those boys.
@@BishopRealTalk98 ^^^it is called "sarcasm"
@@HumanimalChannelyou're bad at sarcasm

This is disturbing on so many levels.
The guards beating him as a young man using their authority and power to harm another human being is abhorrent.
Who monitors the prisons? Many wealthy politicians own interests in prisons.
Why? That should be illegal.
Our system is flawed and those in power have every opportunity to manipulate evidence and suspects.
Look at the comments section. Americans are blood-seeking weirdos. They like to talk about the chinese and iranians. But American society is extremely violent. I don't think all this is just guilt of politicians.
That's nothing. You should hear about how they used Rudy the brute to ' correct' prisoners at Corcoran. Barbaric.
Thanking for this interview
I remember, my mother who recently passed calling me to tell me she had just seen they were released.
Love to your soul🌻
Awe, take care of yourself!
Damien forgot to mention that it was his lawyers that asked for the Alford plea
That's actually not the case. After finding out that the state would not go into a new trial, because of the evidence that would show how incompetent they were, they would just prolong the misery he and the other two were in. The deal was the result of discussions, that's right, but more because that's how attorneys work. When one nothing won't work out, then let's fight for the next. It was about Damien's life. He would have died in there!
Forgot?
@@jeayupila2841 they had an Evidentiary Hearing granted to them but instead of presenting their evidence, they went to the prosecutor for a plea deal. If they had presented evidence that could have proved them innocent, they could have been granted a new trial or had the case dropped but they decided not to present anything.
@@mstat7776 from what I read the original evidence had been destroyed. The police claimed it was due to a fire but the fire department denied this. It would have been them against the state who did not want to be proven wrong.
@@hannahbotanica3311 they had already tested the evidence around 2011. They spent over 20 k testing it. They never shared the results with prosecutors and asked for a plea deal instead of presenting the evidence in the evidentiary hearing they were granted.
This was a good watch, thankyou for sharing your intimate memories ..been there myself not to take the attention away it just really hit me how men and women , young or old, different race, different country, different religion, and different mental state, the time inside is described like he had said, its years of never knowing when that shock will thin and wear off, in one word it is ( exhaustion) as also he has gone on to describe the whole experience.
Damien youre my hero. You give us all strength. You help us all continue the fight against injustice. Compassion and caring for all humans is indeed the answer.
Damien is a child killer. All these supporters on here are living proof that the media is so good at propaganda.
The man Echols is talking about at 1:11:54 is Ricky Ray Rector.
Henry Don't take this the wrong way Rollins
Even when they won their freedom they got screwed over. They weren't exonerated. The State made them accept an ALFORD plea in exchange for immediate release. These guys (especially Damien) were cheated of any chance to sue for justice. They actually still stand as convicted felons, while that scum-bag step father got away with murder.
@@gayprepperz6862 u talking some right bollocks here man .. they plead guilty cuz they are guilty and hobbs isn't a killer FFS the police would surely arrested him if they thought that..it's not even his DNA it could be 100s of people DNA .. u feel sorry for a child killer? Ooookay 😂

Wow. Why don’t you read the trial statements instead of thinking with your clit.
@@samdaisy4182 Get in the fucking sea.
@@samdaisy4182 super classy. From here on out we will take every statement from you with a grain of salt.
@@samdaisy4182 you mean the trial statements of the witnesses who recanted their statements? Or the ones coerced out of Misskelly by police? Or should we ignore the DNA of Terry Hobbs at the scene of the murders? What should we look into?
@@2pc4u50 for the 100000000th time it is not confirmed as Hobbs DNA and the document of 500 is very interesting... Damian definitely had extreme mental health issues and violence tendencies... trying to claw out a another boys eyes with sharpened fingernails and licking blood of people is definitely not normal and rarely mentioned in any interview
the issue isn’t whether or not you believe the west memphis three are guilty, it’s that the point of a trial is to prove that the suspect is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. and there’s plenty of reasonable doubt in the so called evidence presented against the three
That is exactly the whole point of controversy about this case. I agree with you 100 percent.
Exactly. Plenty of doubt.
@@jannuzijannuzicharlescharl3260 which i also don’t agree with.
Perhaps one of the most famous due to media is Charles Manson. Definitely guilty of conspiracy to murder but HE WAS NEVER THERE!! 9 life sentences without the possibility of parole but they always had the hearings. Publicity even after death. Let Charlie out, he would of broken all the toys!
BELIEVE? what is that self opinionated worthless word
Starts @ 6:15.
I wish Henry could do this same interview but with the people who disliked this video....
I wish Henry would have done just a little research, before helping to raise money and support for three twice convicted triple child killers. But then again... the killer of Henry's beloved flatmate Joey Cole, still hasn't been found after thirty years... so who really knows what goes on in their world?
@@yellingelk Why do you assume the three did it when Terry Hobbs is far more likely to be the one who actually committed the crime?
@@2pc4u50 So what exactly have they got on Terry Hobbs? Please inform me…
@@yellingelk Do you not follow the investigation at all? His hair was in the shoe laces that were used to bound the boys! You're so accusatory towards the three that you even neglected the DNA that ties the primary suspect to the case?

@@brandoncallaway8835 He’s guilty as HELL. Where he will finally rot.
@@DonaldUndercoat What have you exactly found in the court docs that is so damning?
@@DonaldUndercoat Where are you getting all of this information? Where are the taped confessions? You surely don't mean Misskelley's, right? There have been situations before where police take advantage of mentally challenged people to get false confessions and even people with IQ above 70 have trouble with the manipulation techniques used in interrogation by police who more often than not are concentrated on wanting to finish the job and not really coming to truth. Have you ever dealt with small town police officers who deem you suspicious? If at least one of the accused that wasn't legally retarded confessed I'd take your claim seriously but that's just not the case. What eyewitness are you talking about exactly? Vikki Hutcheson is the only one that comes to mind and that person recanted. And the alibi thing is just bullshit, If I accused you of murdering and raping someone a month ago would you have a perfect alibi for that exact date, especially if you were an edgy teenager? Just tell me what I am missing, how I'm being brainwashed because if all of this "evidence" is convincing to you then we are surely living in different realities.
This case is always really hit home for me, being the same age as the WM3 and growing up just a couple hours away in central Arkansas, but a complete world away, in some ways. I had a comfortable, stable upbringing in a very old Southern family that also happens to be well-educated and forward thinking. When this was all happening, all of the immediate comments about a Satanic cult, based on the music they listened to and the clothes they wore, immediately made me roll my eyes. Being criticized in court for listening to Metallica and wearing black seemed laughable- I knew plenty of guys like that-but this was happening, for real. I certainly knew better than that. The more that came out, the more things just didn’t add up.
Horse shit they did that shit there choice in music is not what got them convicted that’s horse shit u kno how many people listened to the same music then there was way more to it than that
This guy lies every time he opens his mouth
@@caseymckenzie3951 I guess when you are a Satan worshipper you don't miss saying something that's true... One of the last times Damien did, he "speculated" to Police the killer might have peed in the victim's mouth, and the dumb founded Police then tested the stomachs and found pee... But you won't hear about that in Paradise Lost now will you?
@@caseymckenzie3951 Ashley or the guy that spent 18 years learn how to lie
ashley do you ever think about how your critical thinking skills allowed you to be lead astray to the point where you think someone was put on deathrow for listening to Metallica? The guy murdered those poor kids.
This video was so deep, raw, and real. Couldn’t stop watching! Very strong man...

@@ericcolumba don't forget celebrity's obsessed with Aleister Crowley.
Leo9dis it really doesn't matter at this point. I blame the parents for letting their kids run around the neighborhood by themselves knowing evil exists in the world. It's 100% the guardians fault. Case closed
Woolsey Actually, it's not. I don't blame the victims. Children should be able to play outside. I did, at their age. I walked home from school and took care of myself until my parents came home.......when I was only about a year or two older than these kids. I was allowed to ride my bike at my grandparents' summer home; maybe a couple miles away from their house when I was a couple years (?) older than these kids. A friend of mine and I used to go onto this small peninsula full of homes that weren't occupied at the very beginning or at the very end of summer; we were basically on some dirt roads in the woods.
These parents weren't bad for letting their kids ride their bikes around, do what children SHOULD be doing, having fun, playing, getting exercise.
This is why the parents aren't doing prison time. They did nothing wrong. I'm sure they loved their children.
I dare anyone that wants to blame the parents to go onto the West Memphis Three Facts FACEBOOK page and repeat this to the person who runs it. I strongly SUSPECT, though don't know for sure, that the person that maintains that page MIGHT be very close to the case; like a relative, possibly even a parent or father. But as I say, I really don't know. I have a feeling though, that you'll DEFINITELY get a response. And they'll close your case.
Hey Damian why don't you do a live podcast work non supporters can call in and ask you some questions?
Haha and which mental disability do you have?
Damien, thank you for this time, thank you for surviving! Thank you for sharing. I’m only new at learning about all of what happened in that time. But, My Dude.. ✨🙏🏼✨ Bless you and your strong spirit for being so real. Words alone can’t express... THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING ON ✨🙏🏼✨🖤
......for being so....real (.....so true, most of all)....yeah, words can actually tell many things... (I did some research):
*FIRST VERSION:* when Damien Echols was heard for the first time (on May 9, 1993) he (Jason and Domini were also present and confirmed this version of facts) told that on May 5 he was with Jason Baldwin and Domini Teer, that they had gone to Jason's uncle's house and Jason had cut the lawn. Damien phoned his father to pick them up at the laundrymat at Missouri and N. Worthington. They said they were picked up at 6:00pm and Damien's father took Jason and Domini home and Damien went home.
THIS is what Jason's uncle told: "Jason Baldwin, my Grand Nephew, came to my house at about 4:30 PM and mowed my yard. He was alone (Damien and Domini had to be invisible) when he was at my house. He left my house at about 6:30 PM and said he was going to Walmart to play video games."
*SECOND VERSION:* on May 10, the day after, Damien stated again that he was with Jason Baldwin and Domini Teer and that they had gone to Jason's uncle's house (who didn't see them). That he called his mother to pick him up. He stated that his mother picked him up along with Domini and took Domini home and that after his mother dropped Domini off, he along with his mother, sister and father (didn't go home) but had gone to the residence of Susan Sanders and visited for a while. He stated that he was at their residence from about 3 to 5pm and after leaving the residence they went home where he got on the phone with a Holly George and that he got off of the telephone with Holly after talking for a long time, till about 11.30 pm that night.
In this second false version, JASON wasn't taken home...Domini was dropped off 3 hours earlier.....they went to the Sanders at 3pm and not home
and there's a further problem: Holly George had been on the phone with him that day.....but around 3-4pm!
This is what Damien's sister told about that day: "I stayed at home until approximately 3.30 or 3.45pm and then me and my mom and my dad went to get my brother (and Domini) from Laundrymat, we took Domini home at around 4pm (ah ok, in the first version Domini was taken home at 6pm, according to Damien's second version before 3pm and according to his sister, at about 4pm), we went to a pharmacy to pick up Damien's medicine and went home around 5pm. Then we went (all 4) to a friend's home (Sanders') and we stayed there about 30 minutes and got home at about 8pm" (in Damien's sister's version they went to the Sanders at 5pm - in Damien's version they left at that time - and they stayed there about 30 min. - Damien's version: 2 hours) and it took them 2 and a half hour to go back home...it has to be really a long way....but it's true that saying they got home at 8pm she was giving (trying to give) his brother an alibi 😉
This is what Damien's mother told: "we went to the pharmacy (she, Damien and his sister....the father disappears) at around 1pm, I left the prescription there and I went back the morning after to pick the medicine (Echols have all memory issues), we (she and her daughter) went home and I left Damien at Jason's home."
Then, at about 3.45pm (wow, here Damien's mother memory works really at the best: the same precise time given by Damien's sister) Damien called me and asked me to come and get him and Domini at the Laundrymat, I took Domini home at 4pm (same time of her daughter....well done), we went home and WE stayed home the rest of the day".....OOPS...in this version it's "the visit to the Sanders" turn to....disappear (the police had to "recall" her that she "had been" at the Sanders' home....) so she confirmed they had been there but she failed the time: she said they arrived to the Sanders' at about 6-6.30pm...!!!! A good time to give his son...almost an alibi....
And this is what the SANDERS told when asked:
At about what time did the Echols arrived at your home?
Jennifer Sanders: about 7 pm....7pm????
Stacy Sanders: at 7 pm
Susan Sanders: a little before 7pm
WOW, the time when the Echols visited the Sanders has gone from 3pm to...7pm!
*It's clear as day that ALL OF THEM ARE LYING trying to give Damien an alibi!*
And now, let's go to the THIRD false ALIBI version (which takes into account only the evening), the one Damien is selling to uninformed (or who pretend being uninformed) journalists even today:
in fact this is what he said during an interview with CNN in 2010:
*"At the time the police say the murders took place I was actually on the phone with three different people. The problem was, my attorneys never called them to the stand."*
There are actually four girls that Damien has claimed to talk to on May 5th, 1993 (although in his second version he told having talked on the phone with just one girl: Holly George).
*Why didn’t his attorneys call them to the stand?* Here’s why: because not a single one of them could account for his whereabouts from 5:30pm to 9:20pm on May 5th. They, on the contrary, would have provided *EVIDENCE* that he was out of his home between 5:30pm and 9:20pm and with Jason Baldwin on the night of May 5th, 1993
In detail:
*Holly George:*
Damien claimed he talked to Holly George on May 5th, 1993. Holly told police she didn’t talk to Damien that evening. She said she spoke with him much earlier in the afternoon, around 3:00pm or 4:00pm.
*Heather Cliett:*
Damien claimed he spoke with Heather Cliett on the evening of May 5th, 1993, too. Cliett said she'd been unable to reach Echols until 10:30pm. She also mentioned that Holly George told her that Echols had been "out walking around" on May 5th, 1993.
*Domini Teer:*
Domini Teer, said she last saw Damien around 5:00-5:30pm on May 5th, 1993. She said she did not speak with him again until Damien called her around 10:00pm that night.
*Jennifer Bearden:*
Most damaging to Damien’s case is Jennifer Bearden. Bearden told police in a 9/10/93 statement that she called Jason’s house between 4:15pm and 5:30pm on May 5th, 1993. She says Jason answered the phone (strange...wasn't he at his uncle's home mowing the yard at that time?) and she talked to Jason and Damien for about 20 minutes. Damien told her he and Jason were “going somewhere” and to call him back at 8:00pm. When Bearden called Damien’s house at 8:00pm his grandmother answered. Damien’s grandmother told Bearden that Damien “wasn’t there.” In her police statement, Bearden says she finally reached Damien around 9:20pm.
During her conversation with Damien around 9:20pm, Bearden says Damien told her he had been “out” with Jason. He claims they had been driven somewhere by Jason’s mother, Angela Gail Grinnell.
Problem is, Damien was lying. Jason’s mom could not have driven them anywhere because she told the prosecutor she was at work from 3:00pm until 11:00pm on May 5th, 1993!
CONCLUSION: Damien Echols (obviously), Jason Baldwin (obviously), Jason's uncle, Domini Teer, Damien's mother and sister, the Sanders...ALL lied....
but Holly George, Heather Cliett and Jennifer Bearden didn't: Damien was with Jason in the afternoon and towards the evening, with another of their friends, Jessie Misskelley, they walked all 3 to the Robin Hood Hills....unfortunately!
Bye
Blessing a satanist lol

Damian Killed those Kids
Should the person who really did murder those 3 precious boys get the death penalty ? I believe so
No. I would think you understand why the death penalty is never the way to go.
If someone did to my kids what happened to those boys, the only death penalty close enough to be adequate would have to be dealt by myself personally. Any other way would be too peaceful.
Well you just watched a video with him in the starring role. He’s so guilty it isn’t even funny. But he’s in the right cult (thelemites) so they got him out.
@@DFSLJC moron. The end.
In this case? Yes. If they had solid DNA proof. Which they absolutely do, or did of the real murder/s.
I apologize but I'm old. Who is Henry Rollins?
No actually the Alford Plea literally states that the defendants can say they are innocent yet they agree prosecution has enough evidence to prove them guilty.
"The prosecution has enough evidence to prove (guilt)" isn't exactly the truth. It simply says as an innocent defendant you aren't prepared to risk a poor rendering from a jury that could send you to prison for a crime YOU didn't commit. Many of you think that an 'innocent man doesn't have anything to fear" but corrupt courts put innocent people in jail/prison every day. Ineffective counsel, tampered evidence, lying witnesses and police; DAs withholding evidence have put thousands of men away, The state has no problem ruining an innocent man's life. To many unethical sociopath cops and DA's, as predators and hypocrites, they live for ruining lives.

Poor WM3. Everyone is wrong. Who they gonna accuse next? Pick a name, any name. Maybe Jessie's dad who was with him during the '12 hour interrogation' that never happened?
Maybe his lawyers who BEGGED him not to confess AFTER sentencing?
I bet it was one of them - definitely not dear Damian & his black T shirt.
You have millions on your side Damien, Jason, and Jesse. Keep speaking out and using your voice. We love you and you're in the hearts of many, including mine.
That doesn't change what was done.
Millions of idiots.
What a surprise to actually see a video where Henry Rollins isn't the worst excuse for a human being featured.
This is my opinion after just watching the movie, this story should be studied in law school’s as well as investigative police work. I also believe that convicted, or suspect’s should NOT profit from the death of any child or any human, regardless of guilt. I believe the crime scene was incredibly compromised! But, technology and interviewing of witnesses were in fact bullied to fit the need to find a culprit, ( and are still today), the lack of training is evident. There are in fact humans in jail who did not do the crime, i imagine the hopelessness is insurmountable if you are truly innocent and no one listens. There are not enough lawyers who do Pro Bono, so the innocent are left with public defender’s with no experience, or simply don’t care ( too much investigative work!) and they’re paid very little. Only the rich can afford smart lawyers with a team. I do not support the death penalty, is there evil...yes! I pray for these precious little boys, my heart breaks for their families. I don’t think the accused did it, but the killer is out there, possibly dead... the step father is suspish for sure! Just Sad!
Yeah the need for the prosecution to get an answer to the question from Damien the demon who danced around the fact about knowing about aleister Crowley was..... Then when he gets out of jail from death row and is hanging out with Johnny Depp they both get tattoos of aleister Crowley's front page of his book and they both get hexagrams put on their bodies cuz they're not part of a satanic cult!
THAT'S THE ONE BIG HUGE THING THAT YOU OVERLOOKED!
GEE I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANYBODY THE LIKES OF EDDIE VEDDER AND JOHNNY DEPP AND MARILYN MANSON AND OZZY OSBOURNE HANGING OUT WITH DAMIEN THE DEMON FROM DEATH ROW TO SUPER STARDOM!
ONLY THE ZOMBIFIED MASSES WOULD BELIEVE THIS MASSIVE DECEPTION!
BUT THIS why the MASSES CANNOT GIVE UP THE FACT THAT THEY WORSHIP THESE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND THEY WORSHIP IDOLS IN HOLLYWOOD AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY THEY STAY ZOMBIFIED!
IT'S INCREDIBLE HOW PEOPLE JUST DON'T GET IT!
Even with the blood of the victims being on the accused?
How about the fact that Damien knew about the urine in the stomachs before the police even knew about it. Stop watching propaganda documentaries to get all of your information. If you want to be an armchair detective, read the transcripts and the court documents.
And Alford Plea is a basically a defendant
pleading guilty to as well as being convicted of a crime...
but still maintaining they are innocent.
But they’re not innocent
@@pryorbishop2957 Of course they are.
@@pryorbishop2957 yes they are. If they were guilty, and Arkansas had proof, they would not let them out. The Alford plea is a way to exonerate the state for wrongful conviction and imprisonment
They are guilty
Double-think.
I have a question. It’s not that I feel Echols was in any way guilty. He was sentenced to death by lethal injection in 1994. So why did they not go through with it. It seems crueller to me to not prescribe the sentence. Rather than just going ahead with it and their so called justice is done. So in all how can you be on death row for 18 years in America. That’s nuts
probably due to appeals precedures which take a lot of time. most death sentence prisoners are not executed right away.
@@avocadoontoast715 He's guilty as sin. Open your eyes ffs!
You know he's guilty. There's no question of that.
There are three routes of appeal ending with the supreme court. Each appeal must be considered and ratified a trial within itself. All these appeal processes take years then times that by how many people are on death row nationally as the supreme court is federal. Then each administration has its own ideas on capital punishment as do state administrators. So, there are moratorium s and outright bans. All this delays the procedure. Thank God it does otherwise three innocent people would have been put to death.
Death row inmates are held for decades for a variety of reasons.
That stepfather who'se DNA Evidence is connected to the crime scene, his name is Terry Hobbs. I don't know why people don't just say it, because it's not fair to the other parents, when it's cloaked in anonymity. Terry Hobbs, the stepfather of Steve Branch, surely had someone else there helping him do it. John Mark Byers is surely not guilty, based upon his demeanor, and other things.
I agree, but I am not 100% sure about Byers, if nothing else, he's a VERY sick man. With all those meds he took, there's at least something seriously wrong with his mind (and I wouldn't be surprised if he MISused his meds too). And I don't believe him 100% about the death of his wife either. But it could be suicide (I don't blame her, I understand her 😰, if that happened...).
2nd hand transfer. Are you fool enough to believe living in the same household a hair cant be transfered? That proves NOTHING. A red fiber from Jason Baldwin's mothers robe was on a victim to...700 other people in west Memphis could of left that hair, it wasn't soley hobbs dna. And even if it was??? So what. Proves nothing.
@@Rollimggiant I don't have any personal issues with any of them, so if you're right, then that's fine. But, i understand that the DNA was found in the shoelaces, which makes it more problematic.
The stepfathers are evil. Isn’t it strange they never looked into these guys? Psychopaths living their best life free.
@@Rollimggiant the red fiber could match the robe of nearly everyone in west Memphis who owned a robe from the same store chain
An Overlooked Witness?
In September of 1993, a then 27-year-old woman, by the name of Carrie Morris, provided a handwritten statement to police, alleging that on the date of the murders, that she had witnessed Damien Echols following Michael Moore in the hours prior to the crime. And as an additional item of interest, Mrs. Morris, happened to also be a long time family friend of the Moores, and could recognize Michael on sight.
Today in 2018, Carrie Morris still says she saw Damien following Michael on the day of the murders. In a series of posts she has made to social media, she again reaffirmed what she saw.
One of NUMEROUS damning pieces of circumstantial evidence showing clear guilt of the West Memphis 3. 12 confessions between the three killers, witness sighting in muddy clothes near crime scene, blue wax tied to Echols home, blood splatter right where Jessie said Damien and Jason killed the kids, failed alibis, lying about alibis, perjury, MOTIVE for Echols (which anyone can ascertain if they actually research the court records) and ON AND ON AND ON AND ON. Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin killed those children, with some initial help from jessie Misskelley...as GOD IS MY WITNESS and on my kids' lives. ZERO DOUBT. People don't research and drink the Kool Aide of the propaganda and the PR. They REMAIN twice legally convicted triple child killers who pled guilty. They did not get released on a GUILTY plea because of anything pertaining to innocence. They are guilty as hell.
they are guilty as hell, and it's obvious. A bunch of morons watch a phony documentary and they think they know it all. Look up the Bly testimony to police. He said they were doing satanic riturals, and the memphis 3 were talking about killing people.
Damien and Jason never confessed to anything. Jesse confessed but everything he confessed to was proven to be incorrect. There wasn’t one piece of physical evidence that pointed to them. And they had alibis to prove they were nowhere near the kids. Jesse was hours away at a wrestling match with 20 witnesses. Terry Hobbs dna was in the knots of the boys and he had in his possession his step sons knife which he always carried and was not found with the bodies. And his friend who Terri was searching with that night searched the drainage pipe and when he did at 830 that night there was no bikes on it. And the next day when the bodies were found the two bikes were on the pipe. So that means someone came in the middle of the night and moved the bodies and bikes to the scene. And the cops theory was they killed the kids before dark. And how can you explain that the kids had no mosquito bites on them when all wirjnesses who searched the woods said the mosquitoes were so bad they had to stop searching. That means someone else killed the kids somewhere else and moved them to the dump site. How could the wm3 do that without a vehicle. Terry Hobbs did the killings. Even he is other step son admitted to knowing it and it was the Hobbs family dark secret. And he molested his other step daughter Amanda. So if you don’t know what your talking about don’t talk. These kids went to prison for 18 years for something they didn’t do and the cops know it.
And they didn’t plead guilty. They took an Alfred plea which is a plea where you say your not guilty but they have enough evidence to find you guilty. And they only took the deal because Damien was dying on death row. You think if the district attorney thought they were guilty they would let them take an Alfred plea. No. Definitely not.
@@taylordziczek1744 Damien and jason both had witness saying they confessed.
there was evidence linking them to the crime. Blood on damiens necklace, and the candle wax.
Jesse's alibaba was not accurate and was a week apart from the murders.
The 3 still have no alibi. The HBO documentary desperately paints other people as killers and hides all the evidence.
go do some research. maybe see why two jurys found them guilty.
@@mannishboy17 Jesse was at a wrestling match and there many witnesses to him being there. And 99% of any witnesses that said Damien and Jason admitted to the killings have since recanted. And Damien and Jason were with their families ar rhe times Of the murders. And if their was blood on Damien’s necklace it wasn’t the dead kids blood. They would have tested it for dna. Terry Hobbs and David Jacob’s hair and dna were in the knots of the shoelaces used to bind the boys hands to their feet. And terry Hobbs lied about what he did the night of the kids disappearance. He tried to say he was with jacoby the whole night and jacoby has refuted that. Why would Hobbs lie about that. And 95% of the prosecution’s case has been scientifically proven to have been wrong. The kids weren’t anally raped. It was proven that all dead bodies anus look like that after death especially in the water. Turtles and other animals caused the scratches on the bodies which they said were knife wounds. And the penis castrations were caused by animals. Their whole case was proven wrong and they were about to be given a new trial but they didn’t want to risk Damien dying on death row from the abuse so they took an Alfred plea. Do you think the district attorney and governor would have let them take that deal and let three child murderers out if they still thought they were guilty. Absolutely not. And what evidence does the documentaries hide. These kids would have had to be expert killers and geniuses to kill these kids in the dark and not leave on spec of dna anywhere or on them. The witnesses at the softball field said Damien and Jason confessed and were wearing shirts that said we killed and raped the victims. That just sounds ridiculous and If you believe that then I have a swamp in Florida to sell you. And the wrestling match was on the day of the crime. And everything Jesse confessed to without the cops telling him what to say was 100% wrong. He said the kids were killed in the morning. When we know that’s not true because the kids were at school. He said rhe kids were choked with sticks and that was shown to be lies. And they were tied with belts and that was a lie. Everything he confessed to was wrong. And then he changed his confession after the cops told him what happened. All of the kids parents believe the three were wrongfully convicted and even pan Hobbs believe terry did it.
How did he call Lori every morning on Death Row????
They have phones in prison goofy. Death row is not just a hole in the ground with guys waiting to die haha

@@pryorbishop2957 HAHA but the music says thugs are cool...
Also, how did he place a glass of water on his window seal to collect moon water in solitary confinement where he had no windows and hadn’t seen sunlight in ten years? 🤔
@@mstat7776 Ooooooooooh. i get it. you don't like him so EVERYTHING he says must be a lie! I mean, do "Satanists" even KNOW what the truth IS? To answer your question, ALL prison cells have a ''window''. Its usually about 6 or 7 inches wide and about three feet tall. They tend to provide little to no sunlight due to the way prisons are designed. This however, does NOT negate the greenhouse effect, a byproduct of which is............''humidity''. Couple all of that with poor air circulation and you have walls that sweat profusely to the point of leaving puddles on the floor. This is especially amplified in front of a window (hence it being called the ''greenhouse effect'').
There's something severely wrong about these guys, not normal and not in a good way. I would would cross the street and avoid eye contact and be ready to swing if they came near me.
Whenever I see Henry Rollins I think of Bazooka Joe.
Whenever I see Henry Rollins, I think of.. an Idiot.
It's a thousand wonders this amazing man has an ounce of sanity left. His strength, resilience, his intelligence is almost super human. As impossible it may seem to attain, I hope he is able to somehow "make up" for lost time for lack of a better way of stating it. The first 40 years of his life sucked beyond belief, the suffering, the lack of normalcy in childhood, the torment of prison and death row for something he didn't do.... Unimaginable. I have to wonder if he ever thinks about working to help solve the crime? NOT that he should worry about it, just wonder what his thoughts are about it. So THANKFUL he has the love of a dedicated wife.... That HAD to help him through some really rough times. May the rest of his life be filled with nothing but happiness and blessings.
What's really amazing is how gullible and duped you and your 13 thumbs uppers are. Amazing that you are so impressed with a man who has LITERALLY been caught in NUMEROUS LIES about this case. He is a pathological liar and if you and these fools actually took the time to research the court documents, you'd be quite humbled into admitting how fooled you've been. Damien 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% orchestrated the killings and "sacrifice" of those children. You know NOTHING.
"this amazing man"... Oh please... give me strength. I think I'm gonna puke...
Some questions you should've asked Damien:
1) Why did you provide a false alibi that was proven wrong by relatives in court, and now have since switched to another alibi that has also been disproven?
2) Why do you cling to the 'satanic panic' myth when it was YOU yourself who first brought up devil worship to the police, and YOU yourself who told the police the killings were ritualistic in your first police interview?
3) How do you explain the fact that Jessie Misskelley Jr. knew that one boy had had his genitals cut off and one had been slashed in the face when it was 100% not public knowledge at the time? And, how did he also give the exact location of the killings in the woods without having knowledge of that either? And why did you tell the police in your first interview that one boy had been mutilated more than the other two when it was absolutely not public knowledge (the newspaper actually had published the opposite of that)? Then, in court, when presented with what had been printed in the newspapers at the time of your interview, you could not find it and basically admitted to have lied.
4) Why did Jason's cousin volunteer to do an interview with the police of his own volition in which he described you brutally killing a sick great dane near Domini and Jason's trailers, ripping its intestines out, and then told him you were going to boil its head to get its skull? He also said he'd seen both cat and dog skulls in your room, and at least one person testified you wore a necklace that was a cat's skull (I believe you admitted that yourself, too). Why did another neighbor of yours volunteer to tell the police that you enjoyed torturing frogs and watching them die?
Watching this in 2022... Has the case progressed towards resolution?
How would one person hog tie three 8yr olds?? would be pretty tricky...Must have been more than one person ..Just seems like a logical assumption ...This has always stuck in my mind...
You seem to think 8 year olds are strong and smart? If it were Terry Hobbs, he could have easily threatened the boys. Or it could have been him and the other person who's DNA was found at the scene, David Jacoby.
They weren't hog tied. They were just tied from their wrists to their ankles, most likely to make it easier for them to be carried and loosely concealed.
@@queefstroganoff2643 by three distinctly different amateurish knots. The killer was obviously planning on framing the three from even before the murder. Whoever did this paid loads of people to lie they confessed, they manipulated Jesse through people on the inside to make Jesse keep confessing, they also paid a family or threatened them to give statements placing Damien at the scene. They manipulated the polygraphs or worked with police to do so. There is no doubt there was a major conspiracy to deliberately frame three metal head kids so as to destroy the goth rock movement. All of the evidence directly incriminates them because they were waiting for a terrible crime to happen so they could try to discredit goth kids over it. Hobbs the wmpd the courts the state and the whole of west memphis worked very hard to frame them. If you look at the evidence it seems overwhelmingly obvious they did it, but that's the way they wanted it to look. We're talking hundreds involved
@@patriceaqa288 No. Lol the WM3 were just kids in a Bible thumping part of the country that had the finger pointed at them during the "satanic panic" when every gruesome crime was being tied to satanic rituals. For everything to have happened the way you're suggesting, that means not one single person out of a supposed hundred(s) has leaked info on it. Which isn't sound logic considering human nature. Nevermind the fact that the area in question wasnt exactly flourishing at the time.
@@patriceaqa288 I would consider that plausible if we started seeing any of these supposed conspirators start dropping dead in droves after the trials. But none of that happened.
First off, Henry Rollins comes across as the punk version of Oliver North. Not only does he look like Ollie North in his later years, but he sounds like him and his demeanor is quite similar. Second, Damien Echols is a master fabricator. He floats these ideas and offers apparently truthful commentary to support his perspective. But he never answers any real questions about the actual facts of the case. I can sympathize with the idea that his time in prison was difficult. But prison is indeed difficult. Especially when you are guilty. Damien, Jason and Jessie did this crime. They were young, delusional, drunk, high and fueled by fantasies of grandiosity. And at this late stage in the game, Damien has convinced himself that he did not do this crime. He’s compartmentalized this event and he’s passed the point where he can access his actual guilt. He’s used elaborate terminology and fanciful methodology to internally absolve himself, but he nevertheless orchestrated the killing of the three kids.
I disagree. He KNOWS he did it. He's laughing inside. He won. He beat it. And now he's a celebrity. I'd toss Rollins in a woodchipper also
@@blondebeast4003 we agree. A rare find on his videos. We should band together. Just joking. But nice to see a smart person.
Make no mistake about, he is absolutely lapping it up. A master liar and manipulator.
This is a very sophisticated sounding on the mindset of a would be ' fabricator '. I'm never truly sure of Damian 's innocence. However, we must look past an individual's poor behaviour and look at the operation of the justice system. We in the West are in two camps. The French revolution, Rousseau, Voltaire mindset of boundless individualism, against duty to society outlined by Burke. Our duty to society is framed within common law, treat those how you would expect to be treated. In case of law we must afford the individual their access to a free and fair trial. There was no evidence linking Damian to these crimes. He was railroaded. However outside of the law he has acted badly and proved he is almost laughing at the victim's families and the community by his continuing of the occult. However that is still his right. It's his right to act however he wants as long as it's legal. There was a poor case against him. I believe three dumb teenagers could not have committed such a forensically aware crime. His actions are questionable but little other then our opinions point to his guilt.
@@pauly1148 he wasn't a master manipulator before he went to jail for 18 years.... He got a Little help from his newfound friends... Very powerful satanic friends now he's taking pictures of Ozzy Osbourne Henry Rollins hanging out with everybody from death row to super stardom....
It's one thing to get somebody out of jail that supposedly is innocent it's another thing to hang out with them!
They know who he is and he knows who he is that's why he got the tattoo from aleister Crowley's front page cover of his book... Him and Johnny Depp devil worship is and they follow in the footsteps of aleister Crowley!
He's an amazing man and a man far better than myself. One year was almost enough to break me, I can't imagine 18. I hope he's happy and finds peace in this life. I also hope Arkansas does the right thing and finds the TRUTH! Thank you for your story.
@WM 3 Propaganda you say something ignorant with zero explanation. I've researched this story for months and all of them seem to say these boys are innocent and the fathers or step fathers were the guilty parties.
@@robertbragg9364 I wonder why Echol's lawyers ASKED for the Alfred plea AFTER the DNA came back? "First time I was able to move without being chained hand & foot" "I called her at 8am every morning". "The guards knocked my teeth out" " I mended them by meditation" My favourite? "Well if I think the killer pissed in one of the boys mouths to show his dominance" - That info was NEVER made public. Hmm. I wonder how he knew?
@@missyjayne4183 they offered for the Alfred plea so they could get out immediately. I can understand people don't understand what it feels like being in prison for almost 2 decades. Everyday feels like weeks or months. You're treated less than human. These crimes they were charged with other prisoners don't treat you with any respect and you're a target. If anyone thinks they're guilty thats fine, you're entitled to your opinion. I'm telling you right now they would've never been set free if they were guilty. I'm not explaining anything else. If you do your research and watch every video you can find you should come to the same conclusion I have. My opinion is coming from someone that's been in prison and I would've done almost anything to be set free. I was 18 when I went to prison and it changed my life forever. I am now almost 34 and I remember almost everyday I spent incarcerated. I defended myself and spent 19 months behind bars. Because I had a terrible lawyer and nobody listened to my side of the story I was sent to prison. I live with that everyday. All I want from any of this is the truth. The boys who died deserve to be honored and justice to be served on whomever did these awful crimes. I'd give my life to know absolute truth. To be able to ask a question and know without a shadow of a doubt that its true. I think a lot of things with this case were handled incorrectly and the 3 boys were falsely accused. Thats my opinion. I pray the family and those boys get justice and peace in the end.
@@robertbragg9364 So with respect, where is the proof of there innocence? They requested new DNA testing, got it & never disclosed it but asked for the Alfred plea. Are you telling me the police, Judiciary, two juries, the Supreme Court are all corrupt & picked on these poor kids for wearing black as they love to tell everyone? They were only 3 of lots of suspects. Echols wasn't arrested for over a month & HE told the police IF he'd murdered those poor children then HE would "p*ss in their mouth to show dominance. That abomination happened but was never made public.
To this day his ever changing alibis have not been confirmed.
He's a habitual liar. I'm sure prison is a, nightmare but his telling of it is fantasy. Have you seen his "welcome to the neighbourhood" spiel? Where he lost his teeth after a daily beating for 3 weeks continously, (according to him). One interviewer challenged him. He '' healed them with meditation". His psychiatric record BEFORE he was arrested was 500 pages.
I'm wondering with all the support, $millions raised, not once has he or his legal team shown the innocence proof. Not once has the DNA 'proof'. Listen to his own testimony. He contradicts himself all the time.
He's an amazing man alright. Duped the not very bright celebs. He's still an occultist freak, voicing Satanic cartoons now. How lovely.
He's spitting on the graves of those boys everyday. I hope Karma gets him one day. This is all you need to know. ruclips.net/video/EzvfcM8CuTU/видео.html
@WM 3 Propaganda you're obviously a conspiracy theorist, I understand that you've read everything and did your homework and I did the same. I don't think for one minute they were guilty. I think the step fathers did it. I feel like there was motive for the step fathers to commit these terrible crimes. At this point I don't think the truth will ever come out. I watched these stories as a child in school and all I've ever wanted was the truth and for the boys to have justice. I'm hoping I'm right because if I'm wrong three sick, disgusting murderers are free. If I'm right the real killers are free and one is now dead. I would help in any way I could to find the truth. I've read so much but alot of things are hard to understand and even harder to put together. Hopefully the right people are doing just that and they never give up until justice is done.
This guy Damien Echols makes me sick to my stomach. I watched “Paradise Lost” in 1997. Being the same age as Damien, i felt connected to him, I really felt like he and the other two were falsely convicted. But! In 2014 I started listening to The Opperman Report, a podcast/radio show by private investigator Ed Opperman, and my mind was completely changed. Also, William Ramsey Investigates and The Roberta Glass True Crime Report. These people blow the lid off of this case, these three young men, led by devil worshipping freak Echols, ritually slaughtered 3 young boys, no question in my mind. Please do some research of the other side in this case, it will change your mind. The amount of lies Echols spews from his lips is sickening, that guy is completely evil. Yeah, i feel betrayed by “Paradise Lost”, by Echols. But, it’s just a reminder to me how backward our world is: we celebrate a satanic psychopath as a hero. Ugh.

@JDJconvictedkillers - and you should read this evaluation about "exhibit 500," and about how it was embellished, and had no support for majority of the threats and 'devil-worship' suggested on there. Criminal acts can be committed by white-collar persons as well.
@Beverley Lumb He never killed them and his friends did not either, the judge and cops were either incompetent or willfully doing this , as they were making it all about his lifestlye and religous beliefs, this was from the era of the satanic panic. It was political persecution. Watch the movie the devils knot, there was a man who was seen in a resteraunt all bloody and his legs were wet, where the kids were killed. They did not take the blood sample, it was likely intentional or willful ignorance. That would have cleared him and his friends.
@@makegeorgeorwellfictionaga9268 They seem overwhelmingly guilty and all the evidence makes it clear they did it because it was a massive conspiracy to frame metal kids. Hundreds involved. It went right to the top.
I just finished reading Henry's book "Broken Summers," which he details working on the benefit record and tour he did in an effort to fund new DNA evidence for these guys. It was great to see him lead an interview with one of them. It feels like a bittersweet full circle. Very happy for them. :)

If that’s one of the best you have read, it really doesn’t say much about you lol
Some of the best authors that ever lived were extremely disturbed and sadistic people. And maybe the person that Damien is right now and has been since his arrest wouldn't be able to do what he was found guilty for...but we've all done things as kids and young adults that we look back on and think "what the hell was I thinking?"..well sometimes that includes people who commit murder.
Yep... murderers can sometimes write fairly good books.
All of you are talking about the injustice of Damien Echols. He has never talked about the true victims of this crime. He is a bystander claiming victimhood.
Really?? He spent almost 20 years on death row! He is just as much a victim .
💕2021
If this would have been a normal situation in which the prisoner did not have all the help and support..due to the system..would have gone back to prison by choice or by circumstance...because it sets inmates up for failure and ppl do not understand how this works or even care..i think most secretly thinks well...thats what they deserve. Damian is the exception not the rule I'm so grateful for all ppl who fought on his behalf and then supported him until he could do it on his own....i wish my own life had gone differently because i have always wanted to do something impactful that would help ppl like damian..but stress..fear...poverty...resource deprivation an teenage pregnancy is an effective way to make sure no one is fighting for justice whether its for me, Damian or anyone else for that matter ..i guess thats why they call this the Prison Planet
Rollins' brain must've turned to mush after all those roids he took.
I like his music but he’s a giant douche nozzle
dont you think that all this afraid feeling when he was anounced freedom maybe can, and I say "could be" he was afraid of something bad he did in the past? I know it sound absurd, I don t know...
No...I don't think so.
In my perception, Damien's trepidation about his release out of prison and back into the "freeworld" after existing in an alien-like limbo of horror and brutality as he layed in wait for
8- years on the DNA evidence to move his potential release forward. Damien said-- he reached a point of helplessness....locked inside a concrete block for years...

All the " facts and proofs " ur presenting here r first : either a lie , cheap , low gossip from ignorant very easy to manipulate and scare people . BY THE POLICE , DETECTIVES , "JUSTICE SYSTEM" involve in this case who most likely r clearly hiding , covering the real murders here from the very begginig bc I'm sure there is some of them involve in this horrendous murders . also , several of this people if not all of them , came out years later to tell the truth finally and they say in complete and honest way , the everything they had said before was a complete and absolute bunch of lies . the , they were forced or brainwashed or both by the police themselves , detectives and persecutors . the "supposedly confession from jessie" everybody knows it was fabricated in the most cynical way possible by the police and u can clearly see that in the interrogation wich very conveniently they choose to get from the kid ( in that time) with clear mental disabilities and very low IQ , wich makes him extremely easy to be manipulated and scare by them . the one who is being play , brainwash , manipulated here is YOU . and is bc of people like u the , corruption prevails up untill now and it keeps getting worse hurting , devastating entire family's and reducing many lifes to less then nothing at the end ... Ur right , they did play guilty but not for the reasons u think and preach but bc it was the only choice they had to get their freedom back , TO SAVE A LIFE , DAMIENS LIFE before it was too late and they kill an innocent man and keep the other 2 from dying in prison for a crime THEY NEVER COMMITTED . all ur arguments about the police documents etc... r a complete lie and even if they were truth , they don't mean anything , they r still not a good enough evidence to find them guilty of this crime . now , whether they r satanic or not that's another subject the has nothing to do with what wer talking about here ... again , it doesn't proof the , they kill those kids PERIODE . many , many people have problems of all kinds , really hard time , done a lot of stupid things , became something weird etc... when wer young . wer still growing up , wer trying to find our real selfs , it's n age of a lot of confussion , wer looking for answers and still developing r personality . if Damian has mental illness still , if he still a satanic that still does not prueb he is guilty even if he say all those things , it dont mean anything without real scientific proofs ... last but not least ... GOD bless u .
If this is one of those " try not to laugh " videos, I just failed it miserably.
Hey, welcome to Europe! We have stupid people here too, so you don't have to feel lovely.
Two extraordinarily intelligent men.i am absolutely enthralled by the questions and the depth of this conversation.Rollins has done a fantastic job of really trying to put himself in Damians shoes.His questions really help us to understand what Damien went through.Damien is the true meaning of mental strength.how he was able to make a conscious choice in what seemed like a hopeless future to continue to grow and the ability to find who he was and what hes able to contribute to society is amazing.As much as I'm torn to say this but I believe if it wasnt for his time in prison we wouldnt see the same man on that stage.the way hes able to tell us and give us an insight on what he went through should touch everyone in there life one way or another.Thank you Damian for your strength and your decision to turn an unjust,unfair, horriable situation into something we can all learn from.You are an absolute inspiration..
Are there interviews with the other two
Every time I hear Henry Rollins talk, I gain more admiration for him. Thank you for being such an amazing icon and role model.
Damien, Jesse, and Jason had the bulk of their youth taken away from them, and justice has never been served to the real culprit(s). It's an all around tragedy.
Surely their youth was taken away from them but it teaches them also a lesson to their lives. Look at Damien now he's mature and become a good person far from his youth. Maybe if this things never happened the Damien now is also far from Damien then. You know I mean? A funky boy that life have no future. Maybe God made that to happened for his own good.
Justice for the 6 children....... Now please
I go back and forth thinking the WM3 are innocent or guilty. The one fact that sways me towards Damien being guilty is he had no alibi and lied about it several times
I admire Damien greatly. His presence of mind and mental resilience is astounding. A very inspiring individual, I just got his book and can't wait to read it
Do you admire.....him???
This is what Joe Bartoush, a Jason Baldwin's cousin, saw Damien Echols do to a poor dog and this account was corroborated by other teenagers.
It happened 8 months prior to the murders of those poor little boys:
"On 10-27-92 I was at Lakeshore Trailer Park with Damien Echols when he killed a Black Great Dane. The dog was already sick and he hit the dog in the back of the head. *He pulled the intestines out of the dog and started stomping the dog until blood came out of his mouth.* He was going to come back later with battery acid so that he could burn the hair and skin off of the dog’s head. He had two cat skulls, a dog skull and a rat skull that I already knew about. He kept these skulls in his bedroom at Jack Echols house in Lakeshore. *He was trying to make the eyeballs of the dog he killed pop out when he was stomping.* Damien had a camouflage survival knife to cut the guts out of the dog with.
It's known that the most of serial killers tortured animals when they were children (or teenagers) and then turned to humans: Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgeway, John Wayne Gacy, the Boston Strangler.
This is what Stevie Branch's grandfather told after having seen the body of his poor grandson:
"Some son of a bitch has done a number on this baby with a pair of combat boots or engineer’s boots", "his jaw was completely tore loose from his face. His eye was busted in the socket. His chest and all was kicked and stomped. His face was kicked and stomped"
@@rosamila1758 With all due respect, you do realize that a plethora of people who were not only involved in this case in one way or another but also those who lived in this town at the time have blatantly lied and fabricated the most absurd rumors that then got spread around like a game of telephone with bits and pieces changing as it goes, right?
That's not some “opinion” or “speculation,” but rather, that is an objective fact of the matter.
Not only that, but it is incredibly unwise just to take what someone says at face value or take it as “the Gospel,” so to speak, regardless of the circumstances *[that’s not to say that someone should immediately consider things that people say to be lies either; black and white or all or nothing thinking or an overall mindset is not beneficial to anyone],* but most especially when it involves a case where everything that people said, including the prosecution and law enforcement, ended up getting proven to be, and again, *blatant lies, falsehoods, dark “fantasies,” falsities, and corruption.*
These factors and circumstances of this case and disgusting injustice are not, in any fathomable way or stretch of the imagination, hidden from the public for people to inform themselves about, not to mention that there is no sliver of possibility that these men *[boys at the time]* committed the terrible acts of murder against the other three little boys, let alone that there is any potential of these lies, conjured up fallacies, etc., that people and the judicial system created and spread like juveniles gossiping being “not lies” or anything of the sort-one has to conduct adequate research and not just take what they hear as “fact” or “reality” if they genuinely want to obtain factual information and accurate knowledge.
I find it telling practically all those professing his innocence are women. It's why the most notorious and heinous prisoners in institutions get hundreds of marriage proposals every year.
@@kate_m_k88 no sliver of possibility? Then why has Damien lied so many times? Nevermind, i don't need a novel of you feeling sorry because you choose to believe a pathological liar.
no alibi for any of the three boys for 5 hours that day... go back and research you won't regret these guys are guilty sadly. the totality of the circumstantial evidence is damning
1:22:04 "Obviously...you weren't there"
Biggest gulp of his life, twitching of the mouth, hmm...the body doesn't lie.
what do u mean please
Right?? And if you watch his lips when the guy is asking the questions he is mouthing some of the words as if they’re scripted.
Well, he also does that on 1:23:24 I think you're trying to find something that is not there.
The punishment is prison but they continue to punish in every way possible and that is inhumane.
I’m glad he is out and he deserves every compensation he can get to live the remainder of his days in comfort
He guilty af
One day, there will be a documentary done, that will finally start to turn this travesty of justice around and on its head. The truth 'WILL FINALLY COME OUT'. Echols is enjoying his moment in the sun right now... he can't quite believe his luck... but the sun will eventually go down.
So you’re saying he did it? Why is he fighting to get DNA done on the shoe strings that were around the boys necks if he knows it will surly show his DNA? Why wasn’t his DNA found at all on the boys? Or the two others? He was wrongly convicted. He tells a story on tim cast that the police would come through his trailer park and say you better give me a blow job or I’m going to lock you up. Crimes against children…seems to me these people would be a better persons to look at. Maybe the police did do the dna tests and found dna of cops and hid it? Why the Alfred plea? So they couldn’t sue them. Because then comes discovery. Wake up!
I hope Damien Echols starts a podcast with a focus on crimes that people are convicted of that are innocent. He's such a great communicator. There would be n end of people he could interview and no end of people who were on death row that were innocent. He could make a huge impact. It would also be great if he co-hosted it with an ethical lawyer who could answer trial questions, and that weird alpha plea the 3 of them had to take to get out of jail. Basically saying I am guilty but innocent. What the hell kind of deal is that? Makes no logical sense.
He just started his own RUclips channel 2 days ago.

The question at 1:16 so beautiful the answer beautiful. I wish the best to everyone here.
Echols is guilty.
@@morgankelly9725 And YOU know that, when there was no real PROOF?? I prefere proof before beliefe (especially religious beliefe and judgemental prejudices).
It was nothing more like a witchhunt in the Bible belt of US. 🤬🤮 Every thing "different", to those religious people, are "satan" for them. They can't think clear. The REAL murderer got away, he's been free all the time 😠😤.
@@Lovesongs-Deathdance There was tons of circumstantial evidence. Enough to convict anyone. That's why TWO juries that knew more about the case convicted them. Obviously you haven't done your research and have instead relied on some Hollywood documentary for information. The Three knew if it went back to trial, they'd be convicted again. That's why they took the Alford plea. Most people became interested in the case because of the documentary. But now that most people have looked into the case, they realize the Three are guilty. You're one of the few stragglers that still doesn't know this.
@@morgankelly9725 What are you talking about? I think you need to do more research! There were Camera's in the court room at all three trials. I think people with common sense could see for themselves how botched up the investigation was. Pretty pathetic that they had evidence of someone else's blood from The Bojangles Restaurant all of a sudden disappeared. The most incriminating evidence that they had, miraculously was lost. So that was fake from a documentary? The guy on the stand that was asked "if the blood had been tested" he said no, and the defense asked "where is it" he said he lost it. He said it was his fault. Was he an actor? Was Judge Burnett who was seen on camera next to that witness stand? And one of the jurors, who hated Damien, and was related to one of the prosecutor's, was told he might be picked to do jury so he made sure he got on with help. Then all of a sudden became formen FACTS! Let me see..there was a piece of fabric found and the robe found at Jason's house was similar, but couldn't say identical. The man who claimed he had a college degree in satanic rituals, asked by the defense when he got his college degree he tried to avoid the question, by saying i already answered it LOL but had to answer "No I do not" all on Camera. He lied. Then a Dr was asked about the knife if it matched marks on the boys, he said yes. But that got debunked just because it was suddenly found behind Jason's house meant it was his without his DNA on it and there were a lot of houses by the lake who the knife could of belong to. But then another Dr who had a college degree who can identify animal markings on a live or dead person. Turns out to be a snapping turtle. All said on live Camera. So what Factual Evidence did they have on the WM3? Jessie Misskellies confession? Which we got to hear by the way..asked by prosecutor's " so what time did the crime happen?" Jessie; around noon. (Which is a lie, all 3 boys plus Jason were in school) proven FACT! then his times kept changing, with help from prosecutor's. Then asked what happened Jessie says the boys were tied up with brown ropes. Another lie. They were tied up by their own shoelaces (black) then he said the 8yr old boys were rapped. There is no Evidence of that. But said one tried to run away he caught him brought him back then he left. Its also a FACT that Jessie has an IQ between 72-79 credible? Common sense that he was coheresed because his time of the crime kept changing because the prosecutor's new the time was later between 6:30- 7pm. So I don't know about you, but if I new I was innocent, and the only reason they had to arrest me was because if I was strange, wore black, and the type of music I listened to, and what religion i was into rather Wiccan or not..so everyone in the world who dressed, listened to heavy metal music, and was into wicca should be convicted of murder? That's pretty messed up.. just because they lived in the Bible belt, and didn't believe what everyone believed in that makes them the killers? There's no way anyone that thinks the WM3 are guilty would want to of been in their shoes, you would be saying theirs know hard evidence to convict me! And I'd call b.s on anyone who'd say otherwise! Documentary?? Seriously??
@@morgankelly9725 excellent trolling 10/10. Minimal effort and maximum impact. A masterclass in the effeciency of emotional manipulation
two injustices were done to the 3 8 year old boys. firstly the torture and murder, secondly their killers being released. This will never be rectified because no matter what happens they cannot be sent back to prison for this crime. Even now if Damien grows a conscience and admits he did it he cannot be punished.
These men are an inspiration. When I feel discouraged, I can come back to “now” and choose to see the blessings. If they can survive what they did, anyone can overcome.
I’d like to see this story progress though - where politicians and those committing the same (or worse) crimes are held accountable legally. Until society can stop insulating them, by voting for them...looking the other way, etc., it will continue. This happens because we allow it, and even reward and endorse the behaviors. It makes you wonder who is really working for the devil in this world. Be aware people...change begins with you.
Except that Echols is guilty.
👍 Very well written! 👍
Inspiration? Child killers. Read the trial, not the propaganda.
$Millions$ raised. Best lawyers, best investigators, DNA test...... Oops. THEY asked for the Alfred plea, not offered by prosecution. Tho s piece of filth can't even tell the truth about where he lived.

Facts
By the time he finished, I thought I was going to be Henry Rollin's age when he FINALLY got to the damn point.
Oh cool phrase “new normal” was around in 2012 too
This makes me sick. Michael Wayne Echols…aka Damien, is an inspiration to murderers who can only hope that a series of one sided and extremely misguided documentaries are made to manipulate people into believing their innocence. The fact that so many people watched the films and instantly proclaimed their innocence is embarrassing. Damien is a terrible human being. I wouldn’t even know where to begin with this guy, but please review all of the evidence in the case before making a judgment. The documentaries are so biased, it’s disgusting. I can guarantee you, these guys were not targeted because they wore black. Damien was on social security disability because he was crazy. He spent time in a mental hospital because his own parents feared for their safety. He even described himself as being homicidal.
Jesse Miskelley confessed multiple times. Don’t believe the story that he was interrogated for 12 hours before he confessed. It’s not true or accurate. Also there’s the former supporter, who was rumored to be romantically involved with Jesse. She routinely spoke with him by phone, corresponded with letters, and visited him in person. She claims she eventually asked him directly if he was innocent. His response caused her to instantly cease all contact with him and switch from a supporter of their innocence, to convinced of their guilt.
Again, please research all of the facts and you will discover the truth. DNA evidence did not exonerate them and they weren’t wrongfully convicted. They could have had a new trial, but they knew the end result would be another conviction, that’s why they pled guilty and took the deal.
Correct
I initially thought they were innocent after seeing the HBO film.But after more review of the facts ,I believe that the three are all guilty .

"Damian has never come up with an Alibi for where he was during the murders. Well, actually he has, per Damien: > “At the time the police say the murders took place I was actually on the phone with three different people. The problem was, my attorneys never called them to the stand.” - Damian Echols.
Really? Lets examine these three (actually four) other peoples testimony, shall we? Do they exonerate him like he suggests? In a word, no. They weren’t called because they exposed Damian’s alibi for the total lie it was.
All The Evidence That Shows Why The West Memphis Three Have Probably Got away With child murder.
"In 1994, teenagers Damian Echols, Jessie Misskelley, Jr and Jason Baldwin were arrested and tried for the murders of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. At the time the prosecution asserted that the boys were murdered as part of a satanic ritual. All three of the accused were convicted of the murders and sentenced to life imprisonment and, in Echols case, the death penalty (which was never carried out by the State). Following the submission of new DNA evidence in 2010, the State of Arkansas negotiated a plea agreement with all three of the accused and allowed them to submit Alford pleas which essentially asserts that while the three acknowledge that the State has enough evidence to convict them, they maintain their innocence. The three were then released on time served.
For many, this was enough to exonerate the three teenagers, now grown men. However, there is still a mountain of evidence against them that seems to contradict the State of Arkansas’s decision to release. Below is all the evidence against the West Memphis Three as posted by LuckyBallAndChain in Reddit’s Unsolved Mysteries sub which supports the case that the three not only committed the murders they were accused of but that the State of Arkansas has now aided them in getting away with it.
The Case Against The West Memphis Three
This post begins as a reply to another poster claiming there was “no substantial evidence” against the West Memphis Three.
No substantial evidence? Excuse me.
Damian has never come up with an Alibi for where he was during the murders. Well, actually he has per Damian: > “At the time the police say the murders took place I was actually on the phone with three different people. The problem was my attorneys never called them to the stand.” - Damian Echols.
Really? Lets examine these three (actually four) other peoples testimony, shall we? Do they exonerate him like he suggests? In a word, no. They weren’t called because they exposed Damian’s alibi for the total lie it was.
Holly George - Damien claimed he talked to Holly George on May 5th, 1993. Holly told police she didn’t talk to Damian that evening. She said she spoke with him much earlier in the afternoon, around 3:00pm or 4:00pm.
Heather Cliett - Damian claimed he spoke with Heather Cliett on the evening of May 5th, 1993. Cliett said she’d been unable to reach Echols until 10:30pm. She also mentioned that Holly George told her that Echols had been “out walking around” on May 5th, 1993.
Domini Teer - Damian’s girlfriend, Domini Teer, said she last saw Damian around 5:00-5:30pm on May 5th, 1993. She said she did not speak with him again until Damian called her around 10:00pm that night.
Jennifer Bearden - The one Damian misses out because it’s most damaging. Bearden told police in a 9/10/93 statement that she called Jason’s house between 4:15pm and 5:30pm on May 5th, 1993. She says Jason answered the phone and she talked to Jason and Damian for about 20 minutes. Damian told her he and Jason were “going somewhere” and to call him back at 8:00pm. When Bearden called Damian’s house at 8:00pm his grandmother answered. Damian’s grandmother told Bearden that Damian “wasn’t there.” In her police statement, Bearden says she finally reached Damian around 9:20pm.
So where were Damian and co for four to five hours that happen to coincide with the time of the murders? Well we don’t know. Damian told Jennifer that Jason’s mom had driven them somewhere… which was a lie because she was at work til 11pm. It’s strange that he can’t come up with an alibi that holds up isn’t it? Surely if he’s innocent, he just needs to tell us where he was? So why doesn’t he?
Jessie Misskelley has no alibi either. I know, you’re about to say he was in a karate tournament, but he wasn’t. The so-called photos depict a different event a month prior, and the “witnesses” all gave conflicting testimony. This alibi only emerged after a previous alibi (he was at a party with 12 other people) fell apart.
And nor does Jason Baldwin, after an attempt to get his brother and a friend (Ken Watkins) to lie for him, he stopped trying to construct one, to the point that in 2008 his lawyer stood up in court and said he couldn’t find a reliable alibi witness for Jason. It’s really weird that three totally innocent men all tried to fabricate alibis for the same period of time that just happens to correspond with a murder they’re suspected of. Really weird that.
Blue wax found on the bodies matched wax found in Damian’s room and a candle belonging to his girlfriend (Photo of candle taken during search)
The Knife - multiple people testified it was Damian’s knife, including his ex-girlfriend Deanna Holcomb. She said Damian’s knife stood out because it had a compass, and the knife manufacturer testified that the knife found was missing a compass.
But it doesn’t end there. The so called “bitemark” on Stevie Branch perfectly matches the diameter of the compass slot, complete with central wound for the pin. It’s shocking that an innocent man’s knife would match not just the knife wounds, but other contusions on the body too.
A necklace was found (too late to be included in trial evidence) in Damian’s possession that was covered with blood. Tests proved that the DNA on it was consistent with Damian, Jason and… Stevie Branch.
The three boys were tied with three, distinct, unique knots. This usually points to three distinct killers and is almost unheard of in cases involving just one suspect.
Paradise Lost claims “there was no blood at the crime scene” which is… wrong. Completely. Here are the Luminol test results. “It lit up like a Christmas tree. There was a lot of blood there”
Damian was seen at the murder area. To date that statement has NEVER been retracted.
Damian is a liar. Straight up. He lies to his supporters to make his innocence seem more compelling and lies to make himself seem more of a martyr. A few examples:
“I lived 15 miles away from West Memphis and the crime scene” (2010 interview, Larry King interview). He lived in a trailer park in West Memphis, less than two miles away from the crime scene.
“I never went to West Memphis… Hardly at all” (2010 interview). He was known for walking around West Memphis constantly, and testified in 1994: “I walk around frequently… there’s not much to do”
“I wasn’t familiar with Robin Hood Hills before the murders… it was a residential area, and I only went to West Memphis to go to Walmart and stuff” (2010). In 1994, in response to the question “how often do you go to Robin Hood Hills?” Damian responded “two, three times a week? Probably more”..
@fgdgf dgtvtttvfdhtvtvrhfegxwgexgrrvtzkuzki BTW, "no physical evidence" - yet THREE guilty verdicts. Oh & verbal violence lost you any credibility with your 1st pathetic attack..... Just like your hero.
Shocking that people are still saying he’s guilty. It’s so blatantly obvious that Terry Hobbs is guilty as sin.
Echols is incredibly likely to be guilty of murder. And anyone that has bothered to go through the totality of evidence would say that.
@@ujmm You are spot on John,
Two girls saw Damian Echols covered in mud near the crime scene. They weren't 100% sure if it was Jason with him but they were sure that it was Damian. That tells me the girls were telling the truth, if they were lying they would have said 100% sure it was Jason with him. Damian denied being famliar with Robinhood hills, that was a lie, he lived previously at an apartment complex right next to where the murders took place. Damian, bragged to friends that he wanted to sacrifice his first born son in a ritual. Their alibis were weak and not conclusive. Also, Damian on record, used to torture and kill animals, stick fire crackers up cats asses and kill them, then wear the skulls around his neck. Damian had blood on his necklace which was the same blood type as one of the boys. Damian was a big fan of Aleister Crowley, whom claimed that the highest sacrifice was a young boy about the age of the boys that were murdered. Damian had told friends about the murders. Misskelly's confessed willingly over six different occasions that they did it. You think it's one man who did the murders? Do you know how hard it is to do a triple murder like that and control those three boys? Misskelly's testimony makes more sense to me, each had a boy each, that also explains why the knots were not all tied the same. Echols is guilty as hell...
@@matheous77 you do realize Misskelly WASN'T EVEN IN THE AREA AT THE TIME, right? Eyewitnesses place him in a neighboring town at a fucking wrestling match at the time of the murders but you fools keep forgetting that fact. Oh, and the fact that he only confessed after HOURS of interrogation by the police. It doesn't matter what Damien's past was, there is ZERO evidence he committed these murders. You do realize many witnesses who testified against them later recanted their stories right? The inmate of Baldwin's who said he admitted to it while they were sharing a cell later admitted to LYING ON THE STAND. Literally anyone with a brain can see this entire fiasco was a HUGE miscarriage of justice. And you idiots focusing on these trial statements without looking further into it need to let go of your biases and try to look for the EVIDENCE. Terry Hobbs' DNA at the crime scene!
Oh, and the mutilation of the bodies? Oddly enough that matches the bite marks of the large snapping turtles in the area. It wasn't part of a satanic ritual, it was investigators and those who are so-called protectors of the people trying to find someone on who to pin the blame.
@@matheous77 Which two girls?? You mean the Hollingsworth clan. They saw, so they said, Damien and Domini walking on the Service road at around 10 in the evening. Do you really think that a guy who murdered three children, hours before, would walk around town still wearing the same clothes? And btw, Darlene Hollingsworth has said that it might have actually been a day later that she saw them. So Hollingsworth is in the car with her whole family just to pick up 1 person from work? So on the way back home there are 7 people in the car? Lol.
About the necklace, Jason used to wear that necklace also. And Jason happens to have the same blood type as Steve Branch. Do you have any real proof of Damien and the torturing of animals? Crowley was not talking about killing children! Neither was Damien. Any witnesses who saw Damien, Jessie or Jason go in or out of those woods? Terry Hobbs has said on record that he was in the woods at 6:30 and again at 7 till 7:45. Later on, after 8, there were quite a few people searching in those woods.Now how come he didn't see or hear anything? No footprints from 6 people who are fighting? Nothing?
No floating shoes seen? No floating scout cap?
Btw, the suggestion that it was Damien and Jason on that Service road came from the police, not Hollingsworth. And Hollingsworth knew Domini very well. Why didn't Domini get arrested? LG Hollingsworth had no alibi , Buddy Lucas had no alibi.
LG Hollingsworth left town 2 days later, i think. He asked his aunt to lie for him, and he asked that man that he lived with to lie for him about being at his house the evening of the murders. Damien lived at the Mairfair appartements when he was 5, i believe. How come Vicki Hutcheson passed her polygraph? I mean, she admitted years later that she was a big fat liar. Amazing she passed, don't you think? And is there any proof that Damien and Jessie failed theirs?
Seeing this in 202I. I hope being free feels normal at last. What an amazing life!
Sending Positive Vibes!! You'll only be free as you allow yourself to be.
any body here knows some video or web site to find the how they where release??
They had to admit that they were guilty. Figure that one out. Those guys are the toughest men I've ever seen
@WM Three Facts that was a fine argument. You should be a district attorney. Sending innocent people to prison for life. Nice job..
I dont know if this guy ever did anything wrong but i know one thing he did the best he could with what he had in a fuck%d up world
People will argue and say that Jesse's confessions and the Luminol evidence and Evan William's bottle along with Damians speculative mental history and behavior make Mr.Baldwin Guilty. Which NONE of it does. He should have had a separate trial from Damian. Those prosecutors assisted in a cover up because the Detectives did a Horrible job at investigating the zeroed in on an absurd possible motive from the beginning... and were so trigger happy at justice they had to come up with something since they suck at their job so bad! Evidently because they failed to put to use substantial DNA evidence from an actual Plausible and possible suspect at the resteraunt. If you believe Jesse who lied Multiple times and go along with this theory as motive than yea its 50/50 on whether he and Damian were involved... But Jason Baldwin wasnt there is nothing other than heresay and speculation to implicate that he was . And so what he didnt take the stand or his alibi is challenged... none of that shit makes him guilty of murder... why wasnt the boy With Jesse's Shoes (Buddy) charged , why wasnt the two Young men that lied about their alibi and FLED TO CALIFORNIA right after charged? Yet Baldwin was only based off of allegations and allegations of which were inconsistent and innacurate
Jesus bless you Damien Jason and Jesse
What an ignorant comment,he killed three innocent children
@@jeffreygraham9553 none of those accused have killer eyes in my opinion, the eyes are the windows to the soul
@@jeffreygraham9553 none of the accused have killer eyes , the eyes are the windows to the soul , you might think this bs but if you ever watch the movie 14 Strong about the Green Berets in Afghanistan who fought on horseback TRUE STORY , The Afghans freedom fighter leader says to Mark “ I know you’ve never killed anyone , you don’t have killer eyes “
Damien 100% did it.
I can't believe what I'm reading or hearing. Wow. Really?!
I am personally touched by this interview, also I would like to express how articulate both men are. Henry Rollins blows my mind! I had no idea how amazingly intelligent and profound he is! And Damien Echols, how he emerged so strong and seemingly enriched by all that he had endured is a testament to everyone that has typecast individuals that have been incarcerated. To rise to such an enlightened state, and moving past his emotional roller coaster life is amazing, and I am puzzled how he could keep his sanity and become the man he is today. After listening to him speak, I would never guess that he only achieved a ninth grade education.
Damien’s voice is one of the most soothing voices to listen to! His strength is incredible. He’s so right, even when you’re living in a hell, you have to make a life for yourself while you’re still alive. Livening, learning, somehow creating a life for yourself.
13:35 good philosophy
More like life after murder...
If you are not guilty, you should not have Felon on your record, how are you supposed to get a job! You become homeless, possibly on drugs, or commit crimes to survive, great plan! What does our country do for people that are released from prison? Look around any city, something has to be done for reform
It's really not hard with determination at all. My husband is a felon and after he worked hard at his job he did it on his own and opened his own company. It is not hard for a felon to get a job my husband had no issues ever and I also had a few exs as well no issues finding employment.
And this particular felon has profited immensely off the murder of those 3 innocent boys. Sickening.
He practiced animal cruelty by killed a great Dane ... what a great person!
No, he didn't, and there's enough to be found online to make it very clear that it was not true.
@@thematriarchy2075 Are you sure...?
This is what Joe Bartoush, a Jason Baldwin's cousin, saw Damien Echols do to a poor dog and this account was corroborated by other teenagers.
It happened 8 months prior to the murders of those poor little boys:
"On 10-27-92 I was at Lakeshore Trailer Park with Damien Echols when he killed a Black Great Dane. The dog was already sick and he hit the dog in the back of the head. *He pulled the intestines out of the dog and started stomping the dog until blood came out of his mouth.* He was going to come back later with battery acid so that he could burn the hair and skin off of the dog’s head. He had two cat skulls, a dog skull and a rat skull that I already knew about. He kept these skulls in his bedroom at Jack Echols house in Lakeshore. *He was trying to make the eyeballs of the dog he killed pop out when he was stomping.* Damien had a camouflage survival knife to cut the guts out of the dog with.
It's known that the most of serial killers tortured animals when they were children (or teenagers) and then turned to humans: Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgeway, John Wayne Gacy, the Boston Strangler.
This is what Stevie Branch's grandfather told after having seen the body of his poor grandson:
"Some son of a bitch has done a number on this baby with a pair of combat boots or engineer’s boots", "his jaw was completely tore loose from his face. His eye was busted in the socket. His chest and all was kicked and stomped. His face was kicked and stomped"
@@rosamila1758 Yea Rosa. We all know the stories, doesn't make them true. I just looked up the real story about the dog. Told by a friend of Jason's younger brother. Nothing to do with Damien doing anything to it. Have a good day.
Btw, i am going to assume you are aware of all that had happened in the last few months regarding the evidence that Damien's legal team wanted to get tested?
Well, that is going to happen soon.
@@thematriarchy2075 You don't believe this teenager (as many others) who had no interest in telling what he told the police....but you believe in what a paranoid schizophrenic and pathological liar tells....
Then you neither believe that Damien
"chased a younger child with an ax and attempted to set a house on fire."
that
he was also accused of beating a peer up at school. Damien admits to a history of violence. *He said prior to admission he did attempt to enucleate a peer’s eye at school.*
that
he (HIMSELF) related he was suspended on one occasion (7 times in a year...he was suspended) because he set a fire in his science classroom (no, really?) He was also disrespectful to teachers. He has been accused of terroristic threatening.” Echols had gotten into trouble in one in- stance for spitting on a teacher. (Aleister Crowley, Echols' "idol", in one of his books invites his disciples "to spit on others".... *besides torturing and killing white male children* )
and you will not believe to what Heather Cliett, Baldwin's girlfriend told either:
"Heather Cliett, Baldwin’s girlfriend, told investigators of similar animal cruelty: “one time at the skating rink Damien told her that he stuck a stick in a dog’s eye and jumped on it and then burned it.”
ad you will not believe to Timothy Blaine Hodge, 14 years old, who lived in Lakeshore either:
"I always seen just Jason and Damien and Domini together walking around Lakeshore. There was a big black Great Dane dog at Lakeshore that was on the trail over the bridge to the right as you go over the bridge. It was dead. *Its intestines was strung out of his butt.* A boy named Adam told me he heard Damien did it.”
and to Chris Littrell neither, a neighbor of the Echols family and a Wiccan, who told the police that "Echols liked to stick sharpened sticks through frogs to see how long it took them to die."
and that
"he had burned down his father’s garage and then stood in the flames chanting."
or to Murray Farris, another teen who was a Wiccan, who told that "he once poured gasoline over his own foot and set it aflame."
nor that while he was at the Detention Center, he grabbed a peer and began *‘sucking blood from that peer’s neck* ....
I could go on and on.....but OK, I presume you think that *ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE LYING.....except for Damien Echols....the truth teller*
The evidence that Damien's legal team want to get testes? Really?
I recall that already in 2010 they were spreading around they had EVIDENCE that would have proved the innocence of the 3.....and that the Arkansas Supreme Court ordered *a new evidentiary hearing* (on December 5, 2010) during which they could have "presented" their DNA "exculpatory evidence" in order to obtain a new trial and to be acquitted...but strangely (probably after having received the results of those analysis...) their attorneys proposed the Alford plea.....god, they prevented their clients to be cleared of all charged and to receive a ton of millions of dollars in compensation!!!!
Why did they opt for a deal of that kind (giving up an acquittal and all that money) instead to wait for a new trial that was already planned????
It was a shame that all those witches died before they discovered the causes of a great number of illnesses and their cures. Also they discovered modern farming methods too. Back then a terrible illness or poor harvest just had to be a curse. I mean who would be so wicked?
So... interviewing the mother of one of the deceased and tortuered boys was boring....
oukeyyhh.
I was framed in 2013 Presidential assassination via ricin letters and was on Katie couric around same time Damien was. So much injustice in this messed up world. I applaud Mr. Echols for keeping his shit together all these years and not going postal
Please sign my petition to force corrupt attorney's who destroyed my Federal case, movie deals, documentary and personal life

If you were "framed" like Damien then you're guilty as fuck
I'm so sorry for what you have had to endure . I'm glad you are out now . I pray that you would consider CHRIST JESUS because through HIM and HIM alone there is true freedom and salvation . May GOD bless you sir !
