It's terrifying how little evidence was presented in this case yet the jury had no problem sentencing him to death.
There was an assload of evidence
Heather Nikki what was the evidence??
@@anavictoria7225 the Hollingsworth family who knew Damien and claimed to see him walking near the crime scene, covered in mud, on the night of the murders. the lake knife found right behind Jason Baldwin's home, perfectly matching the wounds. None of these kids could prove their alibis, Echols plain lied (and he changed it several times). plus all his other bullshit. about not knowing West Memphis.. while he had lived right next to the Robin Hood Hills. Was it enough to fry him/them? Probably not. Is he a master of manipulation? Totally.
Heather Nikki no there wasn’t lol
Артeм ø it didn’t match the wounds. They threw that out when the knife wasn’t serrated. Did you look at the case at all? Lol
I just don’t understand how these boys were sentenced to death with no concrete evidence and Casey Anthony walks free!!!! I just don’t understand.
And OJ Simpson too
If they convicted Casey Anthony you would of watched the 2014 documentary and been on that bandwagon too lol.
Very interesting you mention that, Nicole! Because the same forensic pathologist that got Casey Anthony to walk free, Werner Spitz, ALSO testified on behalf of Damien Echols and got him released! He was also on Johnnie Cochrine's team that got OJ off AND was a consultant for the death of JonBenet Ramsay! Ain't that just a BIG OL COINCIDENCE????????
Well when one of the suspects admits to the murder and describes it in detail it kind of makes police think the three people involved did it.
What I don't understand is why Hollywood wants satanists to get away with killing kids, are they themselves satanic? Plenty of evidence right here that they did it and our legal system was right the first time -> archive.is/Zsnlg
The system is fucked
Rest In Peace to the children murdered...
Yes, the real victims, sad.
@@jdtractorman7445 These guys were REAL VICTIMS, ASSHOLE.
@@geraldking4080 so you mean that the 3 kids who were murdered aren't victims at all?
@@Saim_Akbar Is your profile pic from 8ball pool?😁
@@octo.lina69 yes
Im from a few miles away from West Memphis and lived there when these murders occured. I must say that after his conviction I felt a sense of unease,having to come to terms with the realization that,at least in our neck of the woods,a fella could very well be convicted of murder and sentenced to death with absolutely no evidence alluding to his guilt. Its unsettling to say the least.
No one is sentenced to death without evidence, neither was he. A confession by one of the suspects is evidence. And that wasn't all there was either archive.is/Zsnlg
There was also a necklace he was wearing that had one of the victim's blood on it, but they wouldn't allow it into evidence
@@ijames1981 the blood found on his necklace was the same blood type as one of the boys. It was not one of the boys' blood. A blood type matches many persons.
@@haunted1212 That makes sense. Thanks
No evidence he confessed
I lived in Memphis during the entire debacle. You got to be from this area to understand where Damien is coming from. I too was appalled by the murder of these children, it's beyond comprehension to most of us. But after years of following the local shenanigans in West Memphis by officials, its clear exactly what transpired. Somebody had to pay and these boys were easy to convict because of their family situations, youth, and the fact they were poor. Everyone do your research! I guarantee the same thing could happen to you West Memphis, and lots of other small towns like it. Don't judge, be very scared by stories like these. It could happen to any of us.
He is guilty.
There is no evidence against him beside assumptions and the internally inconsistent confession of Jessie.
Satanic Tabernacle exactly
There is heaps of evidence. The prosecutors really did prove beyond reasonable doubt that Damien Echols is guilty. The documentaries left most of it out.
Believe me or not, I don't documented myself on the documentaries.
I read carefully websites that are dedicated to proving them guilty.
All the evidence presented is circumstantial at best, pure speculation at worst.
I agree that many trials ended with convictions thanks to similar evidence, or even less...
but that simply proves that US legal system does not enforce seriously presumption of innocence.
Couric basically asked every question that he's answered multiple times in every interview. She is the queen of redundant.
Fuck UA-cam there is a real chance these boys ARE guilty. look into the original evidence against them, many people including some of the parents and prosecutor are very convinced this man was the killer.
TeacherRandall
"Including some of the parents"...well, naturally they want to feel that justice had been served, so I wouldn't put much stake into what they feel. Nevermind the fact that one of the parents believes in their innocence. And also, of course the prosecutor is convinced they had the right people convicted. I mean, what prosecutor says they were wrong?
But aside from all that, there was zero physical evidence. None. No eye witnesses, no physical evidence. In what just society do you see death sentences, let alone life in prison, come out of a case that had no eye witnesses and no physical evidence?
TeacherRandall Yes, he was a troubled kid who had suicidal tendencies. However, not every troubled kid goes out and sexually mutilates and murders three innocent children. And all of the allusions to witchcraft and satanism is ridiculous. It all fits in with the Satanic panic of the 1980's...an interest in the occult and Aleister Crowley doesn't make people go out and murder. He was a kid who was interested in horror movies and related to paganism. These are not warning signs or red flags at all, and it would be foolish to think so. I mean, if he were a Christian, nobody would raise an eyebrow. Even though Christianity has been the root of a billion murders done in its name over the last few thousand years. So they nitpicked those aspects of his life because in a small southern town, that sort of thing is frightening.
Nothing about this is convincing, man.
Fuck UA-cam .*And all of the allusions to witchcraft and satanism is ridiculous* not really. he did show an interest in those things. then looking into his medical history he was making jokes about child sacrifice and was (is?) a "vampire" who likes to drink the blood of others. others reported that he was killing small animals (including dogs) and saving their skulls (probably doing something with their blood as well).
makes him a prime suspect.
you can see a video after his conviction, he said he thinks its kind of cool because he always thought he would be known for something big. sounds like a narcissist who would think like that, which fits the profile.
I'm not saying that proves anything, but I don't see him as being ruled out either
Fuck UA-cam Yeah and Echols is a poster boy for innocence fraud. These three scumbags are guilty as sin.
I was working in the supermax that he was in. I served him breakfast and lunch. Really nice person. He read a lot of books. I'm glad he got out.
Did you ever have any long conversations with him?
Did you ever hang out with him with Marilyn Manson Johnny Depp Eddie Veda Ozzy Osbourne Henry Rollins... It's a real blast man to hang out with Marilyn Manson who burns Bibles and is a known Satanist...
I wonder if you'll ever be seen again if you hang out with them... I guess everything gets negated him wanted to kill his little child after it was born while he was in jail on the three murders... I guess trying to gouging the eyes out of his classmate that's normal too... Just like the guy who worked in the prison said they're very charming these sociopaths they can charm the pants or dress off anybody, but I surely wouldn't be hanging out with them going to the woods and having a nice beer party or something!
@@maramatte_4963 so many brain dead people on UA-cam and in society too!
That's why so many people took the vaccine and put masks on their faces cuz they believe everything on TV is true and Hollywood is so real and all those actors and actresses are not into any occults and they don't kill any one or sacrifices!
Well Manson was amicable too
He was practicing magick 🙏
He talks so well. He seems so intellectual.
Those poor men, I truly believe they were innocent, and I cannot imagine spending 18 years in prison for something I didn’t do. The lack of actual evidence is the most absurd thing, the justice system truly is flawed at times.
I truly believe they are guilty. He was big into fame and sacrifices and Crowley

This is so beyond messed up. And this story needs to be continued to be told so it does not repeat itself. I remember being really young and my parents telling me about this case and watching multiple documentaries about the case. And it makes me feel so upset and sorry that our society stole these boys lives, without any fault. It is just so upsetting to see and hear about. I hope that in the future this will never happen.

What about the lives of their victims?
@@tommykarate4621 Ya boy so guilty the State of Arkansas released them you ignorant MF Clown
@@MrYorickJenkins Considering they're Innocent
A grown man committed these crimes.
Someone who is sick and angry and has been angry for a long time.
Dobbs is a good candidate in my opinion.
Especially because there was physical and sexual abuse already in the home. He would beat Stevie's mom and him, molest the sister, and would rub one out and make Stevie watch him. Terry allegedly confessed to a family member, that the boys caught 3 men and Hobbs doing sex in the woods. Which makes sense because it was still kept more in the closet then. Damien, also believes someone in law enforcement was also involved. He did a recent interview on a podcast. The culture war with Tim Pool and Damien Echols. It's a really good interview because it talks about back then, all the way up to now. With his fight of getting the DNA extensively tested, and how the state keeps denying the request.
I honestly applaud him. Truly incredible. I believe he's innocent, he should not have been arrested. I'm glad he's free now.
How was terry Hobbs not convicted it's a fucking disgrace
+marcjtdc I agree Damien is a sick fuck but there is no solid proof he did it.

guapo flaco These guys in prison for 18 years while Terry Hobbs walks free
@Stanky Danky lie detector tests are bullshit, Jessie was interrogated illegally, Jessie had an IQ of 72, there was absolutely no DNA evidence linking any of them to the crime. Get your head out of your ass
@Stanky Danky There's a reason why polygraph tests are inadmissible as evidence in court, moron.
show the proof of your statement or do you just talk because you have a mouth??
Stanky Danky I agree with you but I still think Terry was involved as well. Sick bastards
if they were truly guilty then the arkansas judicial system never would have let them out on an Alfred plea
Yeah, right.
Alford.
saw you post and read up on Alfred plea. hard to wrap my mind around that. Like why would you admit that? i would not have taken an alfred plea, but i cannot say a thing, i was not my life in jeopardy. but good point/comment. Blows my mind.
@@djohanson99
If you knew you were innocent, would you rather go to your death quietly than take any opportunity to tell everyone that you were indeed wrongly convicted and ALMOST killed for the crimes you didn't commit? I think the answer is latter. After all, it's not a real admission of guilt, it's simply an administrative one to keep the incompetent judges and law enforcement officers from having to answer for what they did.
In the end, none of it matters because whoever did kill those boys remained on the loose and THAT is the real shame about this case. It boggles the mind that someone can just walk into a diner with their arms covered in blood and legs up to the knee in mud and then just disappear. There should've been a manhunt for that person instead of picking up local misfits and wrapping it up for the day. The nonchalance of such incompetence is simply incredible, they didn't even bother to try to do their job right.
Yes they would. Those jokers wouldn't have accepted it.
I just hope Hobbs is still alive by the time it does come to justice.
Me too
stok3d99 He knew about it because the police didn’t keep their mouths shut about the case. It was such a local incident that details as minute as that got out pretty easily. Everything about the case has so many inconsistencies that it’s impossible to come to a reasonable conclusion that all three did it.
Hobbs is beyond innocent
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 Hobbs is guilty as fuck
@@grimmxlaw the agree
I have been listening to this for three minutes and so far not a word of compassion for the victims, the three little boys
He flipped off and blew kisses to the family in court. He also drank blood in mental health hospitals.
So many people and children die everyday, he had nothing to do with their death and was sent to die without evidence based off his books/music/political/fashion choices. Someone had to pay and they were easy targets because it was such a right wing town full of bible thumping republicans ecstatic to put a goth kid away because he was different. The fact that you have no sympathy for 3 wrongly convicted children is d!sgvst!ng. He paid for something he never did and that's not enough for you? Now on top of the 10 years in solitary death row as a kid himself, that's not enough for you? His wrongly convicted 10 years on death row where he was going to be k!lled without evidence is more than enough of a gesture to the 3 boys who lost their lives. He had nothing to do with it and was going to be k!lled over it and that's not enough for you? Tr@sh.
It's sad how more people cared about the suspects instead of the actual people who were murdered
3 little boys. Horrible crime. Those boys were tortured.
Agreed.
those precious boys. I dont know who did it BUT it does bother me that DE has never said one thing to show compassion for those boys.
+deborah bonney YES!!! It seems he cares more about how he went through this than that 3 little innocent boys were brutally murdered, and the murder(s) went away free
I just don't understand why the little boys got killed and so tragically, what was the purpose of ruining innocent children's lives?
Whoever the killers may be, I hope they end up having something tragic happen to them.
Solitary confinement should be illegal. It causes the brain to shrink and is blatant torture. 10 years in solitary is a crime against humanity. There's so much outcry about the death penalty, but LIFE in prison is far more brutal.
"Brutal"? So, how would you describe the experience of THREE 8 YEAR OLD BOYS, spending the final moments of their LIFE, being beaten, mutilated, tortured and drowned?
Damien didn't kill the boys. Terry Hobbs, one of the boys fathers did.
***** "Sacrifice"? As in "satanic sacrifice? LOL, people still believe that crap in the 21st century?
For the innocent yes it should be illegal, but not for the guilty. And the majority arrested are guilty so getting rid of solitary confinement for the minority would damage the system of justice more than it is now.
Somme people don't deserve to be treated humanly. I guess you think some azs hole who broke into a house and slaughtered an entire family should be shown compassion?
A nice interview....I can understand the shock of coming out to the world
People should watch more than just the documentaries and interviews. His medical records are extremely interesting
OK, easily found something online that appears to be his records of psych evaluations and court document related...Assuming they are legit, they are quite interesting indeed.
In what way?
Yeah - those three did it. The courts just abused their authority for convictions. These are not innocent people. They got damn lucky people are so naïve and the courts were abusive.

He didn't do do it, neither did the other 2 or the "black guy at bojangles restaurant" there's something that was very wrong about this case, shame we'll never see justice for those kids.
Justice is when this Echols fuck that did it is beaten , tied ankle to wrist, castrated amd knifed to death jist like he did to the 8 year old kid.

I've watched the movies and I believe all 14 documentaries, I think this whole case was botched and the law enforcement did a terrible job investigating the whole crime down to the first police report when it was a missing persons, I hope they continue to investigate all the information they have, but the officer who lost the DNA from fast food restaurant was a big lead that may have solved this case.its so sad and I feel so terrible for the families and loved ones of everyone involved. May them sweet boys Rest In Peace
The bloody guy at the Restaurant had a broken arm in a cast. It would have been difficult for him to ward off three boys. Just saying.
They found strands of hair from a black person at the scene
@@robinjohnson8149 idk what I think is, he probably tried to help the boys, but was hurt in the process and escaped the scene... Then for fear of being accused (with no other witnesses) he just never came forward.
The step dad and the black dude was in the woods doing drugs and making a deal, the boys came walking up, and the stepfather, who already whipped the kid once that day, went ape shit and things got out of hand. His buddy helped him, high as a kite, and got blood all over himself. That’s what I think happened.
@@chrismcmaster5964 no they didn't AFAIK, they found a hair that looked like Terry's but could have easily been Terry's anyway since his step son was with that group.
The pain these innocent people had to go through and the trauma they suffered is unimaginable...he sounds so articulate and intelligent..his life is ruined even though he had not committed the crimes..
They killed them.
He is doing very well out of it with his books isnt he?

You know, watching this video I remembered that phrase said by Ted Bundy's lawyer "just sit quietly and look innocent". Not that I think he is guilty, but that phrase came instantly to my head.
You’re actually correct. A lot of defendants are instructed to keep quiet and not say anything.
and now they stopped recording hearings for TV not shocking.
Really?
That not true
i meet the dude at a concert a couple years ago..... humble/nice dude
He just appeared on episode 3 of Netflix' the midnight gospel
@stok3d99 We have a religious fanatic over here guys, be careful.
@stok3d99 And the religious fanatic strikes again.
If I'm a supporter of anything, I'm a supporter of fair and just trial based on facts and logic, and not on religious fanaticism.
The 3 teenagers were not proven to be the child murderers and molesters. All the proof fell onto the belief that the murders were done in ritualistic nature, which...didn't have any proof besides some dude without a diploma saying it is. There also wasn't any other hard evidence connecting them to the crime scene.
I don't know if he did it, after all, the police lost the DNA sample of the most important suspect, the rugged bloody man that went into the restaurant suspiciously near the murder site, and in a short period.
Please, stop your religious fanticism.
P.S. The three teenagers accepted the deal because Damien was on death's row, they did it to save their friend. Tell me why the police would send this offer?
@stok3d99 "I'm not religious, I'm an atheist";The shit you say, tells me otherwise.
"You mentioned the 'bloody man', and as soon as you did, you exposed yourself as a WM3 apologist. There is not one shred of evidence of this 'bloody man' other than hearsay. It's a red herring that the HollyWeird crowd, and those like you, prefer to cling to.";
There's proof of this man existing my man, they even collected his DNA, and questioned him. But the detective in charge of the investigation lost the samples, the defense would talk about this man quite a lot during the trials.
" He knew details only the killer(s) would know"; Alright, what details?
"The narrative has always been that he's retarded and didn't know what he was saying when he confessed." Because he actually kind of is? His IQ is at best, 70. He always had mental difficulties.
"That's what Damien would have you believe."; Or...just general common sense, that you shouldn't really trust this confession that came from a kid that has mental issues, and has the mental capacity of a kid in 3rd grade.
"He is a proven, habitual liar,"; Proven, alright, give me that proof then.
Nice day to you as well, you religious fanatic.
Well if nothing else It sounds like hes cleaned up his act since the original trial...ie learned not to leer at the parents of the recently murdered children and flip them off. Glad to hear hes grown up a little.
He looks like Mac from it’s always sunny
Yes!!
SO MUCH
No clue what yous see but i dont see it lol
He even sounds like him
Omg I can't😂
Followed this case from the beginning... many prayers, donations, and sharing the injustice for the WM3 and the young victims and their families. We're not finished yet!!!!
"The Hobbs Family Secret"
Yep
It was terry hobbs!
***** It's the only DNA evidence they have linking someone to the murder. And he also had a motive to kill stevie, he beat him all the time. He was out "looking" for him and he was seen last seen with the kid as well. It's clear you're just as stupid and brainwashed as all the cops were. This case was rushed, the people giving statements on the stands were liars, and admitted they were liars! The murder weapon they found in the lake was thrown in the lake a year before the murder, the police were even TOLD that yet they still used it in the case! The boys were never tortured btw they were hit over the head, tied, and thrown in the river and drowned to death. The thing that screwed up their genitals and cut them were snapping turtles, they're very common that time of the year. The turtles go for the soft parts of the body, the ears, the mouth, eyelids and the penis... The scratches the "knife" left behind were claw marks. Go look up the wounds of the boys and then go look up the snapping turtles bite marks.. that should be enough for you. SO many things not linking those teenagers to that murder i can tell you. I had to write an essay on this, i have a lot of info.
***** Terry hobbs is the guiltiest one in this case. He even acts guilty! He broke into his neighbours home, assaulted her and threatened her when she told him to stop beating those kids. Every single time he was accused of something he "doesn't recall" or just denies it, even though their are people to back it up. The parents of the murdered boys even believe it was him.. it's written all over his face! Michael Hobbs Jr over heard Terry Hobbs confess to the murder Michael Hobbs Sr in the basement of their home. Transferred evidence my ass! Are you just going to shove it under the rug so you can prove Terry is innocent! You can call every single murderer innocent by saying their DNA evidence was transferred! The police didn't want to investigate Terry because of all the fuck ups they made in the case they couldn't own up to. They new they were innocent but just wanted to convict someone.
***** i'm not saying it proves he's a child murderer, i'm saying he was an easily angered guy! It's not impossible to believe he's a murderer based off his relationship with his step son and history of violence and angry out bursts.
*****
Jeez' that 1 kid at 17yrs old at an IQ level of 71 if I remember correctly ..he had the mentality of a 5yr old.
The police or detectives put words into there mouths , they were interrogated for 14hrs non-stop & told as soon as they tell them what they want to hear they could go home.
Lots of bad cops have used those techniques & in many cases you have people giving false confessions & admitting to crimes they didn't commit & God only knows how many men are in prison at this very moment serving hard time & having their lives taken away from them while getting abused mentally, physically, emotionally, psychologically & that's not including there life has been forever altered regarding family, friends, relationships, lost opportunities, financially, etc.
Anyone with common sense could see how they were targeted & singled out & then intimidated by people with positions where they abused there power.
For many egotistical agenda driven prosecutors its all about winning or getting that conviction regardless if the person is guilty or not.
Then you have corrupt police officers making false statements & planting evidence or just downrite lying.
They had a criminal profiler & others label these 3 young men as possible suspects & then regardless of what was said those 3 were doomed ..already guilty in everyones minds before the trial started ..this was & still is a Bible bet town & so the media made it all about the Satanism, the Occult & supposed Devil Worship & whats more disturbing is how everyone just gets on the bandwagon ..it was like everyone just went with the flow ..the Lynch mob meets the smalltown Bible belt mentality which can be witnessed in lots of the coverage ..there was a few people on camera saying "I hope they get tortured" & have their heads bashed in" "and they should die long slow painful deaths while being tortured" ...and these were supposed people living by the Bible ?
From what I saw that town has a good number of ignorant adults who probably have the mentality of 12yr old , they appeared as stupid rednecks ..the kind that probably keeps a lot in the family if you know what I mean.
That town looked down on anybody who didn't conform to there way of living which included how you looked & how you dressed ..that's why the majority of people in towns like this never become anything more then the generation that came before them ... but then you also have a lot of alcoholic families who abuse their children & many end up bouncing from foster home to foster home where they endure a lot of abuse. That must be the saddest thing about being a child raise into that type of upbringing so what happens to these kids ..they act out & most start out getting into trouble, skipping school & many turn to drugs or alcohol because they cant cope or deal with there feelings so they numb themselves. many commit suicide to.
Anyways it appears many kids even when I was a teenager start listening to certain types of music made by artists they can relate to as many come from the same place.
So people like Damien start dressing in black & start piercing themselves & get tattoos ..these people already felt all alone in the world so they find sollice in that music & many go on later & become artists primarily because they spent a lot of time by themselves & end up creating something like drawing or painting or crafts etc is a way of expressing themselves so hopw does society in these small towns treat these already damaged kids ...they pick on them & shun them & the cops who are just immature boys trapped in adult bodies harass them & target them when they just want to live & be left alone like anyone else.
These 3 young men were wrongfully convicted & unfortunately the system is so slow & if theres one thing we know is ..they never want to admit they made a mistake ..that is one of the main reasons which will have a serious impact on the politics of the town & somnay people are involved & if that's proven then it will effect a lot of people so they generally just stick to the "lie" ...and in some cases we have DNA that proves peoples innocence & the judges in some cases still refuse to over turn the conviction ...its fucking insane !!
There is so much corruption in an imperfect system full of imperfect people.
Remember the Law maybe perfect but people aren't & unfortunately there are many who cannot admit they made a mistake knowing vey well that they mite lose their jobs & it will involve others also & everyone knows that when someone is wrongfully convicted & later found to be innocent they know they will sue the city, the police, the prosecutors, etc & they 'wll' win so what they do in this case is draft up some made up bullshit plea deal or plan knowing that these poor men will do anything to regain the lost freedom so they take the deal they bring to the table just because the law failed them & wont admit any wrong doing.
There are many cases just like this one.
I'm bothered when I see people still saying these 3 men are guilty when they were anything but guilty ...only guilty of being different due to there rough upbringings by rotten parents.
+Katie Mitchell
If you can say that with conviction than I would say that there is much more evidence pointing that it was the West Memphis 3. Saying that the father of one of the three kids is the killer because of transfer DNA is crazy.

I feel appalled and deeply sorry for them. I was not interviewed in public about it, I do not write books about it. Were that the case, I would spend a lot of words on them. The silence of these Satanists about what happened to the kids strongly implicates them in my eyes. Another red flag is the support given to the accused by the Chicklets aka "the chicks" aka "Dixie chicks" and billionaire creep wife bashing Johhny Depp. Hollywood and stardom is knee deep in Satanism

Alford plea
There's a video where he is talking about drinking blood and he sticks his tongue out like a psycho. I also heard the audio of the one kid's confession. Why do people say there's no evidence, or that there's zero chance he did it? This is an honest question, I am not very familiar with this case.
I watched a documentary which said they are innocent, but it cited evidence that did not sound very credible to me, like a hair from the step father... anyone who has kids probably has hairs on their clothes and stuff, it would be normal. A hair from the stepfather does not exonerate anyone, nor does it incriminate the stepfather.
@@plutotoad203 I hear ya, but what about the confession and the kid saying he licks blood? That's a lot more than just reading Stephen King...
@@tombombadil9113 The one that "confessed" had a very low IQ (easily manipulated) and they all kept feeding the kids the answers. Even others falsely accused individuals (adults) cave under the pressure and threats from interrogators after being held over 11 hours. The part were he said the crime happened at noon (while the kids were actually in school) and that they were bound with rope as opposed to the shoe ties used was completely ignored because at that point the 'law makers' were just out to come out as heroes and not the colossal incompetent bunch they were. This happened when they thought you were devil incarnate if you listened to Ozzy, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest or Metallica. FBI has many times reported satanic ritualistic killing are a hoax and meanwhile you have people like the allegedly family values and Christian warriors leaders of Kanakuk Kamp and Southern Baptist churches raping little children for decades and the faithful Christian parishioners that became aware of the abuse chose to keep the matter unreported and allowed it to go on unpunished (because Jesus will forgive them) and of course many even putting the blame on those Satanic prepubescent Jezebels and lustful little boys that seduced those "poor men serving God" and forced them into sinning...
But what if said hair was found on a different kid, not the stepson
that doesnt make someone guilty. talking about drinking blood and sticking your tongue out doesnt make you guilty of murdering children. also the confession was co-ersed out of a teen with an iq of 70 bffr

Do some research & never believe the media. They are guilty.
Raechel Dossa I did research - a lot of it - and respectfully disagree - and ultimately if the families of those poor three boys who originally believed in the guilt of the three boys who were sentenced and the judge and all legal teams had knowledge sufficient to allow the Alford plea -UA-cam crime interested people who often judge on a clip or two or altered/edited or omitted information- aka Harry Callohan to try and prove their point of view -if those who are privy to the ALL the information and are not just couch surfing and judging The families and lawyers and judge- change their minds because they have been given more information and have not only changed their minds but believe they know who really committed the crime -some people still want to believe they know more? You don't have to like Damien to decide he is capable as a teenager to be the ringleader of this crime. He is a complicated individual who was a troubled teen and who spent so many years inside and on death row - does he come across as odd? Well - not surprising.
j9andphoenix do you know he was O.T.O? That talk volumes...
Great, thank you!
I’m seeing allot of conflicting comments on their guilt. I encourage you to google John Douglas, read his book Law & Disorder. If you’ve ever seen The Silence Of The Lambs, the character Jack Crawford was based on John Douglas and the unit he ran at the FBI. He’s one of the worlds foremost experts on serial crimes. He’s consulted on hundreds of cases to aid law enforcement in catching serial killers. The Green River Killer for example. He’s retired now but he consults privately. Damien Echols wife was put in touch with him. He agreed to examine the case her husband was found guilty of. His conclusion was made without ever speaking to or meeting Damien Echols, Jesse MissKelly or Jason Baldwin. His conclusion was that the wrong people were convicted of killing those children. He details this case in his book and the reasons he believes they were falsely convicted based on the evidence. He never even met the defendants until after they were released from prison. While his expert opinion was that they convicted the wrong people, and that there was mishandling of evidence, the prosecutors still refuse to admit they were wrong. Had they done so, their careers would be over and in a small town like theirs, your reputation is all you’ve got sometimes. This is why they agreed to an Alford plea. But the fact remains that their short sightedness and prejudice is the reason the person or persons who brutalized and murdered 3 innocent children is still free 25 years later. It’s a fascinating book that answers allot of questions I’m seeing in the comments.
zeppo shemp So was Trump w/Jeffrey Epstein BEFORE the 2016 election. Back when Trump wasn’t obstructing justice, killing over 200k people in our country aloe because he was too greedy to let COVID19 get in the way of his re-election focus: our economy. COVID forcing quarantine and businesses closed totally destroys his plan. He downplayed the severity of the hit America was going to need to prepare for. Trump Learned about this virus in JANUARY 2019. Not a peep. Months of discouraging the necessity of PPE’s and social distancing that could have saved lives. Trump first. That’s his motto. Not the one he stole from Reagan. Trump is a sociopathic, megalomaniacal narcissist with a god complex. He doesn’t lead our country. He leads the political cult he’s created.
Guess what Vlad: Trump was also personal friends with Bill &That was the whole point. Echols wife pleaded with him. It needed to be an independent examination. He was brought on to look at the evidence, not the people accused of killing 3 children. was a completely unbiased investigation. The goth look, satanism, even Echols changing his name to Damien.
They all confessed to the murder and torture of three children. please explain that aspect too me please.
@@patrickwalker2020 Only one “confessed”, the “confession” was clearly coerced, the kid who “confessed” had an IQ of 72 and could barely keep up with the storyline the cops were feeding him. In the “confession” he basically just repeats back everything the cop is saying and isn’t allowed to explain things on his own because they knew he had no idea what really went on. I would strongly suggest doing research on this case, you could even listen to crime podcasts that further detail the events going on in the background. Many many times have people given fake confessions with the hopes and lies from law enforcement that they’ll be let free once they say anything. The Central Park Five had a “confession” made too, yet it was found out later that they were actually Not Guilty of any crime. But should they had been locked up for the rest of their lives over a “confession”? Smh.

@@frisk0stud415 Those MULTIPLE confessions were NOT "coerced"
Jesse MisKelly could hardly confess enough- he was so distraught about what he had been involved in, He was breaking down in tears frequently to the concern of family In the weeks after the killings.
Damien bragged about the murders at a baseball field.
several weeks after.
The confessions can be found online and anyone who hears the guy being coached is Reading into something that's just not there the police have their format they gave which as the every opportunity to back out to state otherwise and he continually affirmed that his confession.
Damien also bragged on the school ground to young lady who later recanted after being intimidated by others but at the time spoke out honestly about what she had heard. Those HBO movies are garbage designed to mislead a whole generation of faithless youth farther along a path beyond nihilism into worship of the dark side getting an obviously guilty child killer off of death row is a big feather in their cap They're the "Pied Pipers" for S-Tan.
Good news is one day everyone will know the evil done in the dark.. Nothing will be hidden
That would take a very long time to hear all about that. very doubtful my friend
There is definitely more to this. The celebrities getting involved is an alarm bell for me.
They are guilty Jesse confessed several times during trail and all these can be looked up on google.i always thought they were not guilty cause of the documentary but after reading the confessions..my mind changed quick..the only confession they show is his first one where he tries to confuse the police to get them off him or act stupid.
Also in one of his confessions he said he broke a whiskey bottle by the bridge,they went there and the whiskey bottle was in the exact place he said it was...I thought wow..wtf.

@WM3 Deception These people who believe he is innocent are too freaking lazy to research anything. It's easier to believe the media rhetoric, than to lookup and read evidence. That would cut in on their texting and game playing time.
@WM3 Deception I agree with you 110%. I live about 60 miles from Memphis, and remember so well when all this happened. I was only 12, but I do remember it. It was on Memphis news alot, and for a long time. So it really did hit home. I can still remember getting creeped out chills seeing Echols when he was arrested. Evil radiated off of him. I'm a grown man now, and i still get those chills when I see him. If people would just look at what he puts online now, they would see what a sick, evil and disturbed individual he is. But, sick and evil seems to be cool to alot of people this day in time. Especially to the younger generations.
@WM Three Facts I agree this guy showed no remorse at the trial,, facial expressions were blank no conscience nothing jus empty look in his eyes,, who the hell looks like tht being sentenced to death in court. " guilty man" does.
I feel so bad for these 3 that were unjustifiably convicted and punished for something they didn’t do.
And what are you basing that on? In fact, It's incredibly likely that they are guilty. Anyone that has actually bothered to go through the totality of the evidence, would say that.
@@ujmm I have gone through the evidence fully. I believe they are 100% guilty and it straight up fact Terry Hobbs is guilty as shit for the murders.
@@grimmxlaw So you're really going to tell me you think they're innocent knowing that:
1. Not even one of them had an alibi attempt that wasn't disproved later
2. Deanna Holcomb(Damien's ex-GF) Already in 1992 alerted people that Damien had a plan to kill kids. She confirmed this in an interview with the police on May 11, 1993.
3, One of the laces used to tie the boys belonged to an adult size boot. It is the same type of laces that should have been on Jason Baldwin's boots. Jason's boots did not have the original laces on them when confiscated.
4. Echols was spotted by an entire family( the Hollingsworth family) close to the discovery site, during the evening of the day of the killing. He had a lot of mud on his feet and pants according to them. And they had seen him many times before, because of their close relation to his GF Domini Teer.
5. may 6, 1993( the day after the murders) Jessie Misskelley out of the blue insisted that his friend(Buddy Lucas) should be the new owner of his muddy Adidas tennis shoes.
6. one of the victim's shirts still had some blue wax left on it after being soaked for a long time in the muddy water.
several pages in a book confiscated from Echols bedroom also had blue wax on it. This was candle wax.
@@ujmm circumstantial circumstantial circumstantial circumstantial circumstantial. also. even pam hobbs thinks terry did it and his dna was found on the laces.
@@metubeisawesome Circumstantial, yes, but if that wasn't allowed or carried any weight at all, most murderers would never end up in prison. It's not normal to leave traceable DNA, and certainly not in a situation like that.
The DNA is likely to be Hobbs DNA yes, although it could also belong to 2million other Americans. But even if we knew that it was him, does that tell us anything? No. in fact it's normal, and should be expected. It would probably have been a lot more hair fragments from him and other people they shared a household with, had they not been placed underwater.
We all carry other people's hair fragments with us all the time. Try to look up Outside encounter-murder cases, and see if the perpetrators left traceable DNA. Spoiler Alert: They almost never do, and most cases don't even involve water.
i am the same age as these guys , i dont recall the story when it happened, but i was a teenager, and wasnt watching the news, but rather MTV. What seems most apparent, is the lack of proper handling of a crime scene & evidence by the state.
A previous interview he says they only set one date...
this is messed up just because he listened to hard music doesn't mean ur guilty for something like this
That's nonsense. He was tried and convicted for listening to music. You're naive to believe that. He is a liar. The people who came to his defense are scum.
There is a lot of evidence of their guilt. It was proven beyond reasonable doubt.
The evidence:
1- a knife that may or may not be the crime weapon, fond in a pond, with no DNA or fingerprints or other damning evidence, that a witness said he thinks belongs to Damien
2- a piece of tissue that may be similar to one of the dresses in Damien's house
3- a necklace with blood of Damien and one of the victims!
Too bad the prosecution never showed that evidence on the trials, they just claimed they had it.
4- drops of blue wax on the crime scene. Damien had blue candles in his house. Like many other heavy metal fans and occultism amateurs, even in the little town of West Memphis ( and arbitrarily banning the option that the killers came from another area ).
5- internally inconsistent witnessings
6- an internally inconsistent confession, repeatedly changed, by the mentally impaired Jessie
Satanic Tabernacle That's all the documentary showed. There was a lot more than that in the actual court transcripts
I don't documented on documentaries.
Yes, the court produced tons of transcriptions - and the prosecution played on that in order to hamper the defense - but produced no hard evidence.
It's simple and true, there is nothing scientific, it's about witnessings and a confession from one of them.
Which is enough for many american courts but it's not justice.

There is DNA that proves that Terry hobbs was in on this murder! DNA does not lie! His own EX wife believes he killied her son! He molested steve and his daughter Sick Fuck needs to be tried for the crime!!
Robin Pattee You are the reason this case is problematic; talking about something of which you have limited or no knowledge. There was no DNA. There was a hair belonging to one of 1.7 million of the population, a hair that might (1 in 17 million) be Hobbs'. Even if it were Hobbs', it could have easily been explained by secondary transfer. The molestation you speak of is hearsay and drug addicted Pam Hobbs would say her mother killed Stevey for drugs. Read callahan8k,com WM3Truth.com or even jivepuppi.com. Start there and then get back with me. By the way, you should never be on a jury.

Matthew Miller No Matthew, it's called reasonable doubt. He lied numerous times on the stand. His alibi's, all three of them, fell apart under scrutiny.

A large combat style knife was found in a creek behind one killers house. Where is the evidence that shows their innocence?

Very good interview. It always amazes me how intelligent and articulate Damien is. Even back in 1993 you could see it. I just hope the real killer is found guilty someday.
ted bundy was articulate and intelligent, do you think he was innocent?
stubadub2k , The West Memphis Three and Ted Bundy are not a valid comparison.
@@kaylindorsey3401 why because damien didn't kill enough people to qualify as a serial killer?
stubadub2k , The Ted Bundy trials were packed with valid evidence to convict him of multiple first degree murders, Damien Echols (as well as the other two boys) did not have any reliable evidence against them. They had promising alibis, no DNA evidence crime scene, or a murder weapon. The only thing they had against them was Jessie Misskelley’s “confession” which if you did research and listened to the tapes you would see that there were many hours the cops just decided to not record while interrogating him and during the confession it sounds as though the cops were leading a mentally challenged boy into a confession. (which Jessie’s story changed and didn’t match up with the crime) There has been more evidence that has surfaced that would make Terry Hobbs more of a guilty contender in the crime of killing those three children, or how about the bojangles man who had a report against him of running into a nearby fast food restaurant covered in blood and hiding out in the women’s restroom the same day the 3 went missing. (that the cops failed to investigate or much less even get out of her vehicle to go inside and look at)
The police made it more of a “witch hunt” and a “who is into satanism” instead of actually finding justice for those poor children who were victims of a disgusting crime.

God, in the picture with Johnny Depp, Damien still has that death-row skin pallor.
Although he was wrongly convicted, Damien messed up while the police where investigating. He did not know how serious the situation was back then and assumed that there is no way that he’s was going to be incarcerated. And he never let up the “goth” personality so people looked at him like someone soulless that had no remorse for the killing. It’s just a case of him being caught at a bad time in the wrong place

You are absolutely wrong about Damien Echols and you obviously have no understanding of what we call 'magick' and things that happen in this world on a metaphysical supernatural level far beyond our primitive narrow minded egotistical human understanding.. This man never gave up on his craft and favorite thing in life which is magick, and was one of the things that not only allowed him to survive in prison but thrive despite wrongly being on death row, being beaten and humiliated, in solitary confinement, and seeing awful things like other inmates killing each other. Although in a dreadful and awful place he was able to thrive in learning magick and things beyond our comprehension, and if you actually watched videos on his channel where he made livestreams discussing tons of topics on spirituality, the bible, angels, ceremonial magick and its rituals, other religions and beliefs, and his own story and what he went through and how it relates to life and what he practices; then you would realize that Damien Echols is not only a complete far cry from what you would call a fool, but is light years ahead of most people in this world and especially you in this spiritual journey and road to enlightenment. He is a master of his craft and is willing to share his knowledge with others to also have an opportunity to do this, outside the restrictive narrow minded confines of mainstream religion and the herd mentality that follows it..
He went through hell and became much stronger and wiser from it, to the point he said he wouldn't even change what he went through if he could because he learned so much about life and what it means to be here and all these forces at work behind the scenes and within us all. As a matter of fact the bible is a whole book that talks about magick and how to understand and learn it to manifest things in our lives; many characters in it achieved the great work and reached enlightenment. Characters like Ezekial, Moses, Daniel, Enoch, and even Jesus are some the greatest practitioners of magick of all time among many others. You oughta know more about these things before you put someone or something down you don't know about. 🙏
@newwavepop
I realize your comment is over a year old now but I just have to interject a bit. I think you are misjudging his practices as a teenage interest. Damien is a practitioner of hermetic science and high magick. You might have heard of the Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn? The Great Work as it's called is not teenage, angsty, sinister, edgy, or any of that. It's about self improvement, inner work and transformation and being a good person. A lot of wealthy and famous people have practiced going back to 100s of years. People like Leonardo da Vinci, Nostradamus, Mary Shelly, Bram Stoker, etc. Even in our modern times it is practiced heavily by the rich and famous. Doctors, lawyers, Priests, and professional people as well as everyday working class and people from cultures and religious backgrounds around the globe. It's definitely not some fad that a teenage dufus gets into. As a practitioner myself, I understand all to well how judgemental folks can be and how any spirituality or practice that isn't Bible thumpery is viewed as "Satanic". Sadly, something tons of us take seriously and to help us be better humans is what got him labeled as evil and convicted. Having grown up in Oklahoma in the heart of evangelical insanity, I definitely have a grasp on how this happened to him and his friends. Super scary and sad and worrying that no one can practice their spirituality without worrying about being judged unfairly as evil, satanic, etc.
Can someone explain how he actually managed to avoid execution? Being in death row for so long? I don’t understand how that system works?
It’s crazy how everything went in all honestly watching the movie “Devils Knot” I could almost promise it was the father. The mother even said in the movie that the father was jealous & would get mad when she spent time w the boy. He showed no feelings to his sons death. Then told his mama how she should act when she was the only one who truly seemed like she cared.
The father passed the polygraph. Damien did not
polygraphs are absolutely bullshit soft science. they don't hold up in court and mean nothing. all they do is register nerves.
Echols did it. Read William Ramseys book West Memphis 3, and watch William Ramsey Investigates on UA-cam to find out the truth.
@@hjklhvzdf omg let's just go with that bullshit then 🥱🥱
@@hjklhvzdf and two witnesses heard him say he wanted to kill two more people after Damian and the other kid killed those three boys and a family saw Damian the demon later that night at the scene of the crime.... DID THEY PUT THAT IN THE MOVIE?
Wasn't there a guy who came into a restaurant covered in blood. The manager called the police, but they did nothing, because he was already gone. BUT he left some blood on the walls. And when they sampled it, it was the little boys' blood. (Or am i trippin)
The police lost the blood scrappings. They were not tested. The man was never seen again
The man had a cast on his arm, it's almost impossible to believe he, drunk and disorderly, with 1 arm, corraled and killed 3 kids, tied them up, etc. It's a red herring
Regardless of Damien's pleas of innocence. He has still been convicted of murder.
What is the point of your comment?
@@BarefootIguana that he is guilty as hell. And he pled guilty. And he remains legally guilty.
He is a murder
@@AmericaFirst1963 I’ve seen the crime scene pictures he’s a monster
@@AmericaFirst1963 Who fed the Hobbs kid?
Man is looking very healthy. What resilience 👏❤️
They make it out like someone in the town did the crime but could have
been a person traveling through the town from out of state or anywhere.
These murders were too perfect. Ex CIA Director William Colby once said, "If you kill someone the right way, no one will know who did it or why."
These children were murdered by these Satanists bastards and they should have gotten the chair for it.. The fact that this bastard has been released just shows us that the whole judicial system is run by Satanist Freemasons from top to bottom.. All those in the entertainment industry are sucking from the titties of the wolf Satan and of course they always try to hide behind good works which is what this show is all about. It's the perfect disguise really but they're all Lucifer children and they're going to meet their end soon when Jesus Comes back.. Then we'll see who's laughing..
@@shadelings The cute thing is like the number one rule to satanism is harm no child. Sooo yeah ignorant people will stay that way. People just throw words to throw them, bible has sacrifice but I guess they forget that. satanism is more like a philosophy and ideas like king diamond says I agree as well with him. Plus old things like the masons were stemmed from cathol, and natural beliefs. So eh cute but stupid
@@sirherothebrave Well, the thing is, this case had absolutely nothing to do with satanism. These were just three young misfits who didn't fit in the community, who said some really stupid things in their early interviews (as typical of youth) and became the perfect scapegoat for the lazy local authorities who had no interest in really finding out the truth. But once you are in the cross hairs of lazy law enforcement, there's not much you can do except spend years on death row until the truth finally comes out, if you're fortunate enough to have as much press as the W Memphis 3 did, that is. If not, you just exist in a living nightmare until the end.
@@shadelings yeah I know but their thing was based off hate, falsehoods and fear of the others so called beliefs ie outsider kids that did some dumb shit. We all did dumb shit as kids specially at those times. And in the middle of nowhere. I did stupid shit tossing stones,breaking stuff,pokin at some dead stuff. Those old people act like they never did dumb shit. Doesn't mean they are capable of a well planned while being also seemingly random attack on 3 kids , perfect cleanup. I just hope we get the truth I think Hobbs did it.
Wait.. there's a "Right" way to kill?...meh
It makes perfect sense that all his interviews sound exactly the same, because they are asking him thesame questions over and over. When someone is telling truth, the story never changes. If he was giving different answers every single time he spoke to someone new, then I would take him for a phony. Also, for anyone stating that they think he is guilty or innocent that is your opinion and your entitled to have it, but thats all it is. When push comes to shove, there is NO evidene and no one should have been convicted until there actually was evidence.. Is that not the point of our judicial system? Innocent until PROVEN guilty. I see no proof, anywhere.
Exactly, some people are straight tards
You see no prof because you watched a biased hbo docu? Please read this callahan.mysite.com/images2/d_echols/de_ridge_report_01.jpg
Kellie Ellie someone or some persons killed those kids. I feel the story turned away from the kids that got murdered. Maybe it wasn’t these 3 guys so then who did it?! These 3 guys deserved a fair shake and that’s what drew the celebrities in but the celebrities stopped there, they didn’t raise some money to try and find the killer or killers of the 3 boys.

THE "MAGIAN/NAZARENE" influence of the Judeo-Christian religion, which the Order seeks to combat in order to establish a militaristic new social order, which it calls the "Imperium". According to Order teachings, this is necessary in order for a Galactic civilization to form, in which "Aryan" society will colonise the Milky Way. It advocates a spiritual path in which practitioners are required to break societal taboos by isolating themselves from society, committing crimes, embracing political extremism and violence, and carrying out acts of human sacrifice. ONA members practice magic, believing that they are able to do it by channeling energies into their own "causal" realm from an "acausal" realm where the laws of physics do not apply, and these magical actions are designed to help them achieve their ultimate goal of establishing the Imperium.
Senholt stated that it would be "potentially dangerous to ignore these fanatics, however limited their numbers might be".[229]

Johnny Depp cutting off his finger a satanic ritual of passage entrance into this cult.claims that the evolution of this society is " as of December 2018 the band is no longer involved with the ONA.[231] The French band Aosoth is named after an O9A deity, and takes direct lyrical influence from the O9A. The album Intra NAOS by Italian band Altar of Perversion is named after the O9A essay NAOS: A Practical Guide to Modern Magick and showcases the band members' own path through the Numinous Way. Some music associated with the O9A has also been controversial; The Quietus published a series of articles during 2018 exploring the connections between far-right politics, music and the ONA.[232] English philosopher, short-story horror writer and "the father of accelerationism" Nick Land has also promoted the group in his writings.[233][234]
The title, which right-wing media has read as a “sex cult” or a “bizarre occult ritual,” refers to a series of performances from the 1990S, IN WHICH ABRAMOVIĆ used pig’s blood to write phrases like “Fresh morning urine sprinkle over nightmare dreams,” or “with a sharp knife cut deeply into the middle finger of your left hand eat the pain,” on the walls of museums. In 1996, she also created an “APHRODISIAC cookbook” of the same name.The ONA eschews any central authority or structure; instead, it operates as a broad NETWORK OF ASSOCIATES - termed the "kollective" - who are inspired by the texts which were originally authored by Long and other members of the "Inner ONA". The group is composed largely of clandestine cells, which are called "nexions". Some academic estimates suggest that the number of individuals who are broadly associated with the Order falls in the low thousands. Various rapes, killings and acts of terrorism have been perpetrated by far-right individuals

The ONA used the term Traditional Satanism in their Black Book of Satan, published in 1984.[44] Since the establishment of the ONA, the term "Traditional Satanism" has also been adopted by Theistic Satanist groups like the Brotherhood of Satan.[65] Faxneld suggested that the Order's adoption of the word "traditional" possibly reflected a "conscious strategy to built legitimacy" by harking back to "arcane ancient wisdom" in a manner deliberately distinct from the way in which Anton LaVey sought to gain legitimacy for his Church of Satan by appealing to rationality, science, and his own personal charisma.[65] Elsewhere Faxneld suggested that the ONA's use of "Traditional Satanism" to differentiate themselves from the dominant forms of Satanism had comparisons with how those who describe themselves as practitioners of "traditional witchcraft" do so to distinguish their magico-religious practices from the dominant form of modern witchcraft, Wicca.[66] According to Anton Long, writing in the text Selling Water By The River "Traditional Satanism is a term used to describe the sinister path which for centuries was taught on an individual basis ... To this path belongs the Septenary System, Esoteric Chant [and] the comprehensive training of novices (including the DEVELOPMENT of the physical side) and most importantly the Internal system of magick (the Grade Rituals etcetera)."[67]

Weren't there criminal documents or something akin to him having killed animals throughout his childhood? Please correct me if I'm wrong cause it's been awhile
One boy said he had killed a dog by jumping on it's head, it was probably a false claim.
@@GabrielNicho That's a strange way of saying "they found amimal skulls in his room, and multiple multiple people said he killed dogs and cats to the point that they would literally hide their animals from him"
@@LyonsArcade They found one animal skull in his room, and it was not from an animal he killed, but that he found dead (with his father). The story with the dog could never be confirmed. Lots of people have skulls and other shit in their rooms, doesn't mean he is a child killer. When I was a kid I saw a ring with a skull on it that I bought, I was also fascinated by the jolly rogers flag.
I had a out of body experience in court also. I was badgered and humiliated. I was unable to speak and traumatized .
So why didn't you end yourself? There's still time.

Yes, all the facts and evidence included without need of bias,unlike Devil Knot coached by Damien.
It's a bad book. Just explain one thing Rhah...who fed the Hobbs kid?
William Ramsey 's book is an abomination to anyone with a brain. But Rhah doesn't have one. It's fine.
@@Karzath I always love well-substantiated arguments like this. They really change someone's opinion, especially when they contain at least one ad hominem.

@@rhahnabunaid Sorry for stating facts. Hollingsworth family knows who did it. That's why they made up the claim that they saw Damien near the crime scene. LG Hollingsworth had blood on his shirt the day the boys went missing.
I argue on UA-cam comments with people I dont know
The three having to admit they were guilty in order to get out is crazy. Promising not to sue. The red headed kid didn't want to say he did it. He.wanted to take a stand for his innocence but when he realized how bad off Damien was he went along. The three thanked and the three in prison were all victims. 6 boys that went through he'll because of some monster who is hopefully dead.
This is a lesson to *never* agree to talk to the cops in the interrogation room, especially without a lawyer.

Some of you geniuses on here kill me with these asinine comments. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM...NONE! Confessions from a mentally challenged kid, and his story changed multiple times and also his stories never matched up with the crime scene.

Yup. Cops are extremely skilled at twisting words to gain a confession.
