Show Notes
The West Memphis Three case involves the wrongful conviction of Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. for the brutal 1993 murders of three young boys—Stevie Branch, Christopher Byers, and Michael Moore—in West Memphis, Arkansas. The prosecution's case was largely built on a coerced confession from Misskelley, who had a low IQ, and the defendants' interest in heavy metal music and Wicca, leading to a media-fueled satanic panic. Despite a lack of physical evidence connecting them to the crime, all three were convicted, with Echols receiving the death penalty.
