West Memphis 3

The West Memphis 3 is a term adverted to 3 men who have been convicted of three executions in West Memphis. The murders were set about in 1993 and they were of Steve Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers.
These were 8 twelvemonths old when mutilated. The supposed murderers were adolescents at that prison term and they are Jessie Misskelley Jr., Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin. These three have served 18 yrs in prison already but they haven't given up in their fighting to bear witness their innocence. They have tried for 18 twelvemonths to be taken heed and to be served Department of Justice.

Jessie Misskelley Jr. and Jason Baldwin are currently serving life sentences and Damien Echols is on death row. Echols is really positive about the whole office and he even says that something good will come out of this whole thing so he is holding on to faith. He would be appealing for trial in the end of Sept and exactly one calendar month before his trial a concert is being taken hold by great names in the music and entertainment industries like Johnny Depp and Eddie Vedder. Apart from them there are going to be many more stars from Hollywood and the music world that tolerate the innocence of the three remanded worlds.

The concert was arranged to meet support for the West Memphis 3 and to pull in money for the legal fees. The father of Jessie Misskelley Jr. said that he experiences really full that peoples who don't know him that well are also stepping up for his innocence.
