i think it is total bullsh*t that 3 young teenagers were locked away for a crime that they did not commit.
the fact that they were put away without any evidence against them...and have spent so much time in prison (when they are innocent) is crazy.
i think that it is stupid how they can say 'innocent until proven guilty' ,but these 3 young men were put away....damien echols has no reason to be put to death.
i think the stepfather of one of the victims is to blame....as for the fact that they HAVE proof for him, the teeth, why would he get his teeth 'removed' after bite marks were found on the victims? just seemed a bit weird to me...
does anybody agree that they should not be put away for this crime, that they did not commit?

I saw both Paradise Lost Documentaries... which it sounds like you might have seen too. I became angry, sad, outraged at the outcome of their trials. I do not believe they should have ever been arrested never mind convicted for these murders. The police made Jesse give a false confession and unfortunately that was enough for the jury to believe they were guilty. (although the information he gave has been proven to not be true) The stepfather is a very likely suspect...the child's mother "died in her sleep" a few years after the murders. There is also the possibility that the unidentified black male in the fast food restaurant bathroom had something to do with it. Why the police didn't investigate that properly I have no idea. Go to their web page and figure out ways to help their cause. These kids have done nothing wrong and they deserve our help.

I think a lot of innocent people have been imprisoned and executed over the years in this country.
