After the arrests, the case against the West Memphis Three moved swiftly—but not fairly. With a coerced confession, no physical evidence, and a community still gripped by fear, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. were convicted in a trial that raised more questions than answers.
In Part 2, we dig into the trailsd, the appeals, the role of public outcry, and how new DNA evidence changed everything. We follow the case through decades of legal battles, all leading to a controversial plea deal—and freedom with no full exoneration.
Where are they now? And will the truth ever fully come to light?
