KILL YOURSELF

Hello all, many years since I last updated this fan blog, I don’t use the tumblr account I have associated with this page anymore, but thought it was important to log on and share the work that OneMomsBattle has been doing in regards to the filings that are going on with Brody’s seperation from Josh Homme. 

Brody has been going through absolute hell lately, and its so important that we get this message out there and get the support Brody definitely needs with everything going on in her life, but most importantly, get those kids back with their mother and away from Joshua’s controlling ways.

The West Memphis Three is the name given to three teenagers who were tried and convicted of the murders of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas, in 1993 by a prosecution team that put forth the idea that the only purported motive in the case was that the slayings were part of a satanic ritual. There was no evidence of these murders being ritualistic.  

Damien Echols was given the death sentence, Jessie Misskelley Jr., was sentenced to life plus 40 years (he received two 20-year sentences in addition to the life sentence), and Jason Baldwin was sentenced to life.

In July 2007, new forensic evidence was presented in the case, including evidence that none of the DNA collected at the crime scene matched the defendants, but did match Terry Hobbs, the stepfather of one of the victims, along with DNA from a friend of Hobbs’ whom he had been with on the day of the murders. The status report jointly issued by the State and the Defense team on July 17, 2007 states, “Although most of the genetic material recovered from the scene was attributable to the victims of the offenses, some of it cannot be attributed to either the victims or the defendants.” On October 29, 2007, the defense filed a Second Amended Writ of Habeas Corpus, outlining the new evidence.  

In September 2008, Judge David Burnett (Circuit Court) denied Echols’ application for a hearing on the new DNA evidence. The Arkansas Supreme Court heard oral argument on Burnett’s decision on September 30, 2010.

On November 4, 2010, the Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that Burnett’s interpretation of the DNA statute was too narrow and reversed and remanded all three cases for hearings as to whether new trials should be ordered.

Finally, on August 19, 2011, the Free the WM3 website reported this: 

“This morning, in a courtroom in Jonesboro, Arkansas, all parties involved in the ongoing legal cases of the West Memphis Three have agreed to a plea agreement, which has resulted in the immediate release of all three men.

We will post more details here as we compile them. For more immediate information, please visit the splash page on WM3.org, for a running list of articles posted by various major news outlets pertaining to this ground-breaking event.
