An innocent man serves 18 years on death row. When lawyers are finally about to prove his innocence, the state "forces" him to sign an agreement not to sue the state in order to not spend years more in prison.
We turn now to the case of the West Memphis Three, the young men in West Memphis, Arkansas, who were imprisoned for the 1993 slayings of three eight-year-old boys after an investigation largely fueled by unsubstantiated rumors of a Satanic ritual.
The new documentary, “West of Memphis,” was co-produced by none other than one of the convicted youths at the heart of the story, Damien Echols. Echols and his two co-defendants were released last August after spending nearly two decades in prison, all the while proclaiming their innocence. RecentDNA tests did not link the men to the scene and showed the presence of others who have never been identified.
