Damien, I dont think you did it. I've followed this case for awhile and watched both documentories. It's sickening that you three are behind bars with abouslutly no physical evidence against you. That trial was a modern day witch hunt and I hope it doesn't end up destroying your whole life. Those people call themselves Christians but they are more hateful then tehy ever accused you of being.

Damien, I myself as well have followed the documentories and do NOT beleive any of you guys did this crime. I do beleive the same person you believe did DO this horriable crime. I am a mother of three and watching this I was like hmm I like black and some of metalica's music SO WHAT! But also you guys would never be there if Jessie never said a word. I can't beleive he did that to himself and you guys... I'm sooo sorry and i'm on your side...

I saw BOTH films, and I STILL can see why you are on Death Row..Because you are GUILTY! It stands to reason the bleeding heart liberals that people Seattle (thank GOD I got out) would write a line such as "...but as anyone who has seen Paradise Lost or its 2001 sequel will tell you, it's tragically clear that the boys were convicted (despite a complete absence of physical evidence or motive)...". I think ALL 3 of you should have to die EXACTLY as you killed those boys..THAT'S justice!

I am with Damien all the way! Arkansas is bed of criminal courts and coverups. Isn't this where the Boy's On The Tracks happened? No wonder this poor guy Damien Echols got the rail road for being a black metal fan, so am I and I have not been arrested yet and I am 68 years young!

Who knows if you did or you didn't,but if you did,then admission of your transgressions would go a long way to bettering your mental health!(its not like you guys are teens anymore,if you did do it-be men and fess up,give the families- your own included,some closure.I too,have seen both the doco's-and still could not decide if you were innocent or not?!?!?I guess that really is not for me to decide anyway...If you arer innocent GOOD LUCK!I would feel very bad,that you have been so severely wronged!!Shannon from Australia

I have seen both documentries also. I got into metal when I was 12 and I have barley had a speding ticket.Iam 34 never been in jail and have not had ticket since 1995. Yea there innocent why would the stepdad go and have all his teeth pulled and get false teeth when they wanted to do bite mark comparisions on the boys bodys tell me that. why would he turn in a knife with similar dna. Those who convicted these three children you will rot in hell for what you have done as for the stepdad yea you will to god have mercy on all your souls and free the innocent. What kind of fucking justice system does arkansas have anyway. Thanks bobby f.

Damien,

You need to set the story straight. Your family is going to spend their life thinking that the state of Arkasas killed an innocent man. For the first time in your life, you need to tell the truth. You molested your friends (boys and girls) and because you thought you were smarter than everybody else you convinced these other 2 morons to help you kill these three children. I hope you continue to get raped every day of your life. you are trash, a loser, garbage, everything that everyone hates. I hope your death is as pleasant as the ones you gave your victims. Die!!!

Do you people hear yourselves?? how can you watch that film and not see they are innocent. It isn't about liberals or Christians...it's about plain old common sense. Wake up!! Review the evidence for yourself. There is no DNA connecting the WM3 to the crime, yet there is DNA from other sources. Remember--this crime took place before CSI and Bones and all those forensics shows. Really, it was before DNA testing...so, you really think three teenagers were able to brutally murder these boys in a creek bed and not leave behind evidence? Can you explain the presence of other DNA there? No! and if you had any sense, you would get your head out of your ass and do the research before making stupid, hate-mongering comments. WIth that kind of talk, maybe you're the killer!

Please wait...
