***WARNING THIS EPISODE IS EXTREMLY LONG, PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AS WE MAKE OUR WAY THROUGH THE END OF THIS CASE!***

The trials of Jessie Misskelley Jr and Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin continued to rock the media outlets from the moment Fogleman got up to start opening arguments. The three boys had no idea how what would happen in the weeks during the trial would change the next 20 years of their life. With the deck stacked, the West Memphis 3 never gave up hope that their innocence would prevail. This black mark on the American Justice System is one to stay, as technically speaking all three men have yet to be exonerated. 

This episode is going to jump as the testimony did in the courtrooms in 1994; witnesses were called to the stand more than once answering questions over and over in different areas of this murder trial. Stick with me as we make heads or tails of the mounds of testimony given and how it took 2 juries less than 48 hours to convict all 3 teens.

The investigation into the murders of Steven Branch, Christopher Byers, and Michael Moore is taking a turn- the statement early on from Investigator Gitchell regarding occult activity and Satanism is only going to grow bigger with the reports of a juvenile probation officer Jerry Driver. Unsuspecting teen, Damien Echols would earn himself a top spot on the top of Gitchell's suspects all because he was trying to find his way in the world, needing something to believe in. A teen with a low IQ would provide Gitchell the story he would need to take down Driver's boy, the only once capable of committing a murder like this, along with a quiet heavy metal, concert tee wearing 16 year old. The world would know their faces but they wouldn't get the whole story....

On May 5, 1993 three 8 year old boys were out playing; riding through the streets together, off to the club house in Robin Hood Hill. Neither the boys or their parents knew that they would never be seen again. Just one day later their bodies would be found and the small quite community of West Memphis will be turned upside down and nearly 30 years later there is no signs of being set right side up, leaving a dark shadow in it's wake.
