In 1994, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley, Jr.
were convicted of the vicious slayings of three eight-year-old boys
in West Memphis, Arkansas. Had it not been for two HBO documentaries,
and help from such celebrities as Winona Ryder, Henry Rollins, Pearl
Jam's Eddie Vedder, and heavy-metal band Metallica, the world might
have thought justice was served. But the camera revealed the two
highly publicized trials to be bizarre, twentieth-century witch-
hunts. The three teens were convicted with no physical evidence in
what should have resulted in mistrials. The police botched the
investigation, and lost evidence that might have exonerated the
defendants. Echols awaits death by lethal injection in solitary
confinement. Baldwin received life without parole, and Misskelley got
life plus forty.
