Excerpt from WM3 website- The prosecution lacked eyewitnesses and physical evidence, so they built a case around a tale of teen rebellion curdled into devil worship and pedophilia. The alleged ringleader, Damien Echols, got the death penalty, while Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr. were sentenced to life without parole.
There has been dna evidence that was linked to a step father and no dna from Damien, jessie, or Jason. This is a travesty that they are still fighting to clear their names.
