Later i saw the sequel ,"paradise lost 2" and started seeing it in a different light. this was years ago. I was finally able to get the first video and i've watched both in order now and i am reading "the devil's knot". it's now 2006 and i see these men are still in jail. It's disgusting to think we live in a country were this could happen. There's no doubt in my mind to their innocence and now i'm just pissed that nothing has been done to free these 3. You don't need a law degree to see they had nothing to do with these murders. i commend the celebrities who have spoken out for these men and wish i had a more powerful voice to be heard. I have a nephew in the marines and another joining soon, and i seriously have to ask myself is this country worth fighting and dying for where 3 young teenagers can be convicted of this terrible crime with absolutely no evidence against them. one day in jail for these three is too much,thirteen years is a travesty. how can the people responsible for this sleep? i can only hope more people with the right influence can get this injustice taken care of.FREE THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 371017@blogcritics.org Wed, 17 May 2006 23:10:22 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/08/034248.php#comment-97799 i have been following this case since i first saw a review for the first documentary ten or so years ago. yes, it must've been a vey emotional time in west memphis after the murders, and it must've made everyone feel better to think that someone was paying for those awful crimes. but i think it looks pretty obvious that there is at the very least a "reasonable " doubt as to guilt of those three guys. of course, anyone one of us " outsiders" who think the convictions were wrong can be accused of looking at the evidence in a biased manner, but i have yet to run across ANY evidence whatsover that directly links any of those guys to the crime. most importantly, i think that the only reason that those convictions have not been overturned by now is because of the refusal of anyone in the local or state government to admit that a mistake was made ( a BIG one!). it affects careers of people in positions of power. plus, so much of the flak is coming from those darn liberal californians and other outsiders. i have seen petitions for the pardons of these men, but i think it could only work if there were more people in west memphis, and arkansas in general, willing to speak out about this injustice. at this point, however, the outsider influence is probably just causing a stubborn, opposite reaction form the state and local officials. i am very glad to see that so many others are aware of this issue now, and hopefully these three won't have to spend too many more years in jail. can you imagine the law suits that are waitinig to happen when they get out? 97799@blogcritics.org Wed, 10 Nov 2004 21:22:35 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/08/034248.php#comment-89543 Jasiell, one of the people who commented just not long before I did here stated that we should look at the evidence of the case. I suggest he do the same thing. Fact:Jessie Misskelly IS legally retarded, his IQ is 68 and the legal line for being mentally handycapped is at 70. Fact:There is no physical evidence to support the claim that any of the WM3 commited these heinous crimes. Fact:Any evidence that did support the WM3's claim of evidence was suppressed. Fact: The local authorities had it out for Damien Eckols from before this case even arose. They didn't even try to find any other suspects. So when people like Jasiell try and tell supporters of the WM3 that we don't look at the facts maybe those people should take a real good look themselves. 89543@blogcritics.org Sat, 9 Oct 2004 14:54:04 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/08/034248.php#comment-35981 Free The Three Innocent utill provn gilty the ameican way bull shit FREE THE THREE 35981@blogcritics.org Fri, 9 Jan 2004 15:28:14 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/08/034248.php#comment-30057 Ryder and all others who "believe" that the memphis 3 are innocent ought to take a look at the states evidence instead of just focusing on bull shit thats coming from the memphis camp. The so called "retard " who gave the confession is no more retarded then a fellow who works for me { he's a little slow but in his right mind} Ryder should of taken the time and got the Whole story. Damiens probably laughing his ass off behind these fruitloops backs. 30057@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Nov 2003 16:57:23 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/08/034248.php#comment-17780 BTW, that Rise Above comp rocks (excluding the Ryan Adams cut-somebody please send this phony huckster back to hell), especially the song where the dude from Clutch sings. And I love Henry, but he shoulda gave up the mic a little more. 17780@blogcritics.org Mon, 8 Sep 2003 18:21:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/08/034248.php#comment-17776 FREE THE THREE. Unless they really did it, then they should stay in jail. I still think it was the freaky step dad. Yo, that dude is creepy! 17776@blogcritics.org Mon, 8 Sep 2003 18:15:23 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/08/034248.php#comment-17774 Thanks a ton for posting this, every little bit helps. 17774@blogcritics.org Mon, 8 Sep 2003 18:12:11 EDT
