The West Memphis Three- most don't know about them, but they should.

Now your wondering, who are they? Why are they so important? Well... I'll tell you right now.

From what I have learned so far, three boys were murdered. But they couldn't find any evidence, weapons... nothing. Only the boys hogtied by their shoestrings, near a creek.

But soon after, they found a "suspect"- a minor with an IQ of about 75, so he was considered 'mentally retarded'. His father gave him permission to go with the police, but not exact permission to interrigate him. But they did anyway- for 12 hours. Only two segments, 48 minutes, were recorded in that time.

They caught the other two "suspects", with one on death row, and the others on life without parolle. The police said that their 'motives' are the black hair and clothing, they listened to heavy metal, and they read Stephen King novels.

Also, the police thought that they killed the three boys as a sacrifice... seeing as they wore black, they must've been Wiccan/Satanists.

But... they were not. They didn't even do the crime. They have been locked up for 14 years for something they didn't do. The real killer(s) is/are out there, still on the loose.

While the one on death row is still waiting for his fate [which our/our parents tax dollars may be going towards], the real killer(s) is/are out there, enjoying life.

They were locked up for how they dress, what they listen to, and how they act. Convicted for their own lifestyle. I think it's wrong. We need to get them out. There wasn't ANY evidence pointing towards them at all... and one will die for that one little mistake.

[As I learn more about this, I will add on.]

To support them, there are many Myspace groups that are trying to get them out of prison.
