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.

[@mannishboy17]

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.

[@taylordziczek1744]

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.

[@taylordziczek1744]

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.

[@mannishboy17]

@@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.

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.

[@taylordziczek1744]

@@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.

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.

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.

Woolsey Actually, it's not. I don't blame the victims. Children should be able to play outside. I did, at their age.

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.

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.

[@BuckCommander8]

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.

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.

[@FrigginMossies]

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

There are three routes of appeal ending with the supreme court. Each appeal must be considered and ratified a trial within itself.

[@Bernadetteroth]

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!

[@stevenstoffersstoffers1186]

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!

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.

[@davidwalker3626]

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?

[@rosamila1758]

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"

He was known in that town as being into black magic, killing animals, etc. All the tell tale signs of a damn serial killer in the making. I've personally heard him reference Aleister Crowley in his youtube videos (all about magic by the way)... when during the trial he kept saying he'd only read a book "about " him... that he didn't study his magic... and that's just a COMPLETE BOLD FACED LIE.

Crowley wasn't a serial killer though or a killer at all. He was a controversial figure 100% and it makes a lot of sense for someone at 16-18 that was rebellious to be fascinated by him. What do you know about Crowley exactly or magick that makes you think it has anything to do with murder. There are tons of people interested in the so called "occult" do you think all of them are serial killers in the making? What' the difference between that and convicting a Hindu mystic because he worships a bloody and scary goddess like Kali or arresting a Christian because he eats the body and drinks the blood of his God? If you really can present anything at all in this topic that can justify that sort of accusation I would had no problem in accepting that I'm wrong but it seems that an interest in witchcraft seems like enough evidence for sheltered people who's experience with the occult is what they saw in 80s B class horror flicks.

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?

[@paulrichards1921]

Did you know Damien Echols admitted to murdering the three boys? Read about it in our 4th set of facts from "The Big Picture": Damien confessed to his friends Kenneth Watkins. Not only was Damien seen close to the crime scene on the night of the murders and also implicated in the murders by Jessie Misskelley, there were also many other accounts of his admissions to participation in the murders. One such confession was to his friend, Kenneth Watkins. Quote: “Kenneth- then we walked on the overpass, which Damien, and Damien said that he was there, and a couple of other friends. a few people. Ridge- now what's he talking about when he says he was there. Kenneth- he said that he knows who killed the little kids, cause he was there, with a couple of people.” Damien was overheard admitting he killed the boys. Multiple witnesses came forward to testify that they overheard Damien admit that he had killed the boys at a softball game. Those witnesses became known as the “Softball Girls.” At trial, Echols denied being at the ballfield and claimed that the girls were all just making things up. His testimony regarding his presence at the ballfield was refuted by the director, who also corroborated the fact that the girls heard an admission from Echols. The Medford girls’ mother, Donna Medford, also corroborated the timing of the statements her daughters overheard. Subsequent to his conviction, Echols claimed that the date the girls claimed to have heard the statement was after his arrest on June 3, 1993. This was a false claim, based on the date of their police interviews, which occurred after the arrests. It is very clear from the statements that the girls are referring to an event that occurred 2 weeks prior to their statements to police. Additionally, the girls did not give a date, although their mother and Ms. Simmons stated that it was during the last week in May, 1993, which was prior to Echols’ arrest. Echols revised the story yet again for 48 Hours (and he now appears to be sticking to the story), admitting that he made the statement in response from taunts of others. Quote: (Jackee Medford) “Two weeks ago I herd Damien say that he killed the 3 little boys. We where at the girls club and he was with severl people were around hem. I do not know who all of these people where. I was with my Bestfriend Christi and my sister Jodee.” (Jodee Medford) “About 2 weeks ago I was at the Girls Club softball field. And I heard Damien say "I killed the three little boys and before I turn myself in I am going to kill two more and I already have one picked out. I overheard him say this to a group of people when I was walking by him. I don't know him. I just know of him. And Jason Blawid and his girfriend Heather were standing by him. I was with my sister Jackee and her friend Christi Vanvickle. That was the first time I had ever seen Damien and the next night he was there too.” (Christy Van Vickle) “Two weeks ago I was at the Girls Club with Jackee Medford. I passed by and Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin where talking to a bunch of people. He wasn't talking to me. I heard him say that he killed the three boys. It scared me so I walked away. I didn't hear him say any thing else. I told my mom what I had heard.” (Donna Medford) “The week of May 24th when my two girls Jodee & Jackee Medford and Christi Vanvickle got in the car they started all talking at once telling me about what the wierd black haired boy had said that night. The all said they heard him say that he had killed those 3 little boys. Jodee said she heard him say "He had killed the boys and before he got caught or turned himself in he was gonna kill 2 more and already had one picked out." I told them he was just nuts and to stay away from him. Katie Hendrix was also with me that night & repeated the same story. She also told me he had said he was going to bite her titties off. When he left she yelled 'Did you really kill those 3 boys & he yelled 'yes'.” (Peggy Simmons) “The mother of Jackee Medford, (Donna ______) approached me & told me that Damien had been up here bragging about killing the three boys and that he was going to kill two more and already had one stalked out.

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?

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.

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”..

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.

[@rosamila1758]

......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!

Damian Killed those Kids

[@mmariankaa]

This was a very well done interview. Henry is respectful and asking the right kind of questions. I simply cannot grasp the idea of being locked in for 20 years, for something he didn’t do. YET, he maintains his sanity, his humanity and his identity through it all. The way he speaks and presents his thoughts is very articulate and interesting. He deserves all the best👏🏻

[@ujmm]

And why would you think he didn't do it? Echols is incredibly likely to be guilty of murder. And anyone that has actually bothered to go through the totality of evidence would say that.

[@mmariankaa]

@@ujmm well, from what I read/watch and researched it seems like the little amount of evidence they DO have - point to a family member of one of the victims. The fact that Damien wore black, listened to metal and read Stephen King doesn’t make him a killer. This whole case was twisted in the most unjust way ever- they wanted someone to blame - so they did.

[@ujmm]

@@mmariankaa I can tell that you are somewhat new to this case. it's irrelevant what Damien looked like and what kind of reading material and music he liked. What is not irrelevant is facts like: 1. Deanna Holcomb( Damiens ex GF) Already in 1992 started to alert people that Damien had voiced a plan to kill kids. She confirmed this on May 11, 1993, which you can read on the Callahan website if you want(my response gets deleted if I share the link) 2. Every single attempt at Alibi vas disproved. one of the alibies was that he was on the phone all evening with 4 different girls. every single one of those girls said they didn't talk with him Between 4 and 9:20pm that day. 3. Damien was spotted very close to the crime scene with mud on his pants and shoes. This observation was done by an entire family that had seen him many times before. (the Hollingsworth family) 4. He failed his polygraph. 5. One of the victim's t-shirt still had blue wax on it after being in the muddy water for a very long time. Blue wax was also found on several pages in a book in Damien's bedroom. This is most likely candle wax. It is very normal and also expected to have hair fragment DNA on a crime scene belonging to someone from the same household as a victim. It is not normal, and not expected to leave DNA after one outside encounter though. And especially not an encounter in a location like that.

[@mmariankaa]

@@ujmm I’ve seen other people who think they are guilty, bringing up these points. Every single point can be contradicted. Regarding what he said about killing kids- many people say stupid things when they are teenagers. He himself said that he would basically say things that people expect him to say as a “weird outsider”. If someone accused me of murder and asked for my alibi, I wouldn’t be able to give one for even yesterday. He said that most of his days were of doing nothing and just hanging out. Of course he wouldn’t know the exact time he spoke to these girls. Polygraphs are proven to be unreliable many many times. If he and his friends did kill those boys - how come they didn’t find a single piece of blood or dna proving this? Its not like they are super genius villainous master minds who can commit such a crime without leaving hard rock evidence. Plus, one of the boys’s stepfather was seen with all three boys a very short time before they disappeared. And you could tell from all his interviews that were published how violent he is. Look, I’m not claiming to be Sherlock. Of course, anything could have happened. And we might never actually know the truth. But listening to Damien, Jason and Jessie talk and share their side of the story sounds like 3 poor guys who were at the wrong place at the wrong time.

[@ujmm]

@@mmariankaa you're talking about alibi attempts as it's only up to that person. they play a tiny part in that themselves. The bigger part is any person who could have observed them or been with them far away from the crime scene. And there was nothing. Every alibi attempt was later disproven. And remember, we were only talking about Damien here, I could throw in everything against the other two, but that would be very long, so il drop it for now. But they also could not be placed anywhere away from the crime scene in the times of the murders either. Yes, polygraphs are not always reliable, around 96% of the time they are according to some studies. However, if you don't put some strange laser focus on the fact that it could be wrong and look at the totality of all known facts, it looks very unlikely for them not to have been there. btw 46 people passed a polygraph with the same questions. Who said there wasn't blood on the scene? there was a lot of blood on the ditch bank. It was not among the evidence selected for the trial though. But you can still see the luminol photos on the Callahan website. Also, Deanna Holcomb wich said she ended all contact with Echols after hearing Echols plans, probably felt very strongly that this was not some kind of a joke. If he didn't communicate this in a certain believable way, would she just end all contact with her bf? probably not. And I'm not sure why you're expecting DNA from an outside encounter like this when there usually aren't any from outside encounters. And this even had the element of water in it, most cases haven't, and still, DNA is rare to get. from those.

That is the laughter of a man upon whom such moments of pure delight cannot be squandered.

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.

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?

@WM 3 Guilty Hi WM 3, I have done extensive research in this case - when Damien gave the whole explanation of *very potentially* how it could have been done , because the police went to them, sat with him and ASKED HIM HOW HE THOUGHT IT HAPPEND - so Damiaen is simply answering a question which they are then OBVIOUSLY goint to use against him: he never implicated himself ONE TIME during that conversation. He knew the things about the boys because the police told him already, so he is simply musing about what the killer may have been thickening and doing from a ritualistic point of view. Again. BECAUSE HE WAS ASKED. I havw no idea what the psychiatric history has to do with ANYTHING about the as about 99.9999 % of people in psychiatric hospitals and who love with mental illness (I will gladly admit that I used to be a freqent flier psychiatric hospital patient in and off for severral years, You think I'd ritualistically go and murder some children when I'm released? Well. Considering I am goth as all f**kery and love black and love skulls and adore collecting all poison bottles.... yeah someone with as a closed off cookie cutter mind like yours probably might. And EVEN if he WAS a Satanist, which he was not, Satanists do not do ANY of the rituals described at trial. Damien said ON THE STAND that he READ Crowley;s back and they were interesting to him but he never said anything about agreeing with him on every single point. There was absolutely nothing to do with Damien's interest in the Occult, Wicca, and Magick in general. As do I. I own the Satantic Bible because I am fascinated about leaning of all religions, so I am guessing I would also be capablem once again, of going out and murdering innocent children too? Also, he was a teenager, those smirks (which was supposedly him smiling at his supporters and fsmiyl btw) were just the idiosyncracies of his dumb teen personality! NONE of your points are connected to any SHRED of evidence at all and is all unfortunately based on emotion - which is very sad to see still happening with the 'BURN THE WITCH!' crowds who have no fucking clue. It is very sad. Do you know what us truly dishonouring the families of those poor dear three boys? It's the fact that right now, at this moment, the person who did this to said poor dear three days, is walking free, is walking neigjhbourhoods, just watching, living, and waiting. THAT is what should be focused on in this manner. Have a nice night.

@@Aurora-Nyx You don't know what a person's psychiatric history has to do with a murder accusation? Oh my word. You have read the court papers and you don't think Echols was into satanic stuff? Ya think mutilating and killing animals is nothing to pay attention to do ya? Good grief. DO keep reading the evidenciary court documents. DON'T put your faith in a Hollywood "documentary" that failed to include key documents about the SICK FUCK that Echols had been.

Read William Ramsey’s book Abomination. Damien was just following his hero’s orders. See Magick in Theory & Practice chapter 12, Crowley says “For the highest spiritual working one must accordingly choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest force. A male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory and suitable victim.”. Reads like a play by play of what Damien & his friends did

Echols,Misskelley and Balwdin are incredibly likely to be guilty of murder. And anyone that has bothered to go through the totality of evidence would say that.

[@deltacos3187]

@@ujmm What totality of the evidence are we missing? I’m all ears. No DNA at the crime scene. All have alibis. No motive. Terry Hobbs on the other hand? Was the last person seen with the boys, has lied like Hell about the entire night, his own nephew said it’s known as the “Hobbs’ family secret, has DNA at the crime scene, knew how to hogtie because he worked in a slaughterhouse AND had a history of violence and sexual assault. He’s also the only person with a motive as he was about to divorce his wife and never got along with his stepson (who he abused). Tell me how I’m wrong. PLEASE. Let’s hear it.

[@deltacos3187]

@@matheous77 Anybody that thinks it was inspired by the Occult is an utter fool. It was a batshit crazy town in the South that thought a kid that liked Metallica was behind it all. The reality is that multiple forensic experts know a knife couldn’t have made most of those cuts. That bank was notorious for snapping turtles. Anybody that doesn’t look at Terry Hobbs in this whole fiasco has a lower IQ than Jesse Misskelley. The state of Arkansas released these innocent men because they were fixing to get the Hell sued out of them.
