The West Memphis 3

Have you ever heard about the West Memphis 3 case?

 

Basically, 3 little kids got killed and mutilated in 1993, and they convicted 3 teenagers of the crime, without proof, DNA, or motive. They did, however have contradicting evidence to the fact that they had killed them. Apparently that didn't much matter, as they were all convicted for life, one of them to death, just because they wore black and liked heavy-metal music.

They are still in jail.

There's a documentary on the subject, called Paradise Lost: Child Murders At Robin Hood Hills, wich has a sequel.

The trial is still ongoing to determine wether or not they are the culprits.

 

How the fuck could something like this happen, and why isn't it undone yet?

It's America, this kind of stuff happens constantly. I remember a few months ago there was an article in Weekend magazine about the law they have in some states that allow them to imprison teenagers permanently for the rest of their lives. Quite a few interviewed told their stories a number of which really didn't deserve a punishment as harsh as never being let out. I remember one of them was a woman who caused the accidental death of her abusive husband in an argument and another was a guy who got implicated in a murder simply for pointing out the victim.
