West Memphis Three - three teenagers received max sentences for killing three children, with no physical evidence or motive linking them to the crime, as a result of the Satanic Panic. - eviltoast

They’re still trying to clear their names. More frustrating than creepy, but deserving of a read.

    I just like to present it since like a lot of the conversation revolves around, and I think most people, myself included, had their first exposure to the case through, Paradise Lost which is fr only one angle ya know?

    Idk if I would’ve convicted them. I think there was a lot of stuff that wasn’t clear on either side which isn’t beyond a reasonable doubt

    But I’ve also been on a couple juries and always voted not guilty so maybe that’s a personal thing lol

      I would maybe add that bit. Because to me your post seemed like you were supporting their conviction, not just presenting facts.
