WM3 NEWS: Damien Echols' Oral Argument in front of the Arkansas State Supreme Court Thursday, September 30th

On Thursday, September 30th at 9:00 AM Central, Damien Echols' attorneys will present oral arguments in front of the Arkansas State Supreme Court. These arguments contend that DNA testing and other powerful forensic evidence -- combined with a sworn affidavit that the original jury foreman engaged in blatant misconduct that contributed to the jury's decision -- prove that Echols was wrongfully convicted of the 1993 murders of Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers in West Memphis, Arkansas. Based on this newly discovered evidence, Echols is seeking a new and fair trial.

Stream the proceedings live at 9:00 AM Central:

Join WM3 supporters as they fill the Arkansas State Supreme Courthouse (Justice Building, 625 Marshall St) and respectfully listen to the proceedings.

- You should arrive by 8:00 AM to make sure you get a seat -- no one will be admitted into the courtroom after 9:00 AM.

Upon the hearing's conclusion, supporters will carry a massive banner of "Free the WM3" postcards from all over the world from the ASSC to the steps of the Capitol building.

    I hope that the supporters of the WM3 don't forget about the other WM3...the ones that are no longer living...and are very respectful if they show up.

    And what's up with the wrong forum? ;)

    Thanks for this - from following a lot of the West Memphis 3 discussion recently it seems obvious that there is firm grounds for a retrial; hopefully this Supreme Court argument will clear the ground to offer Echols a fairer hearing.

    Got to work this morning only to see Eddie's face greeting me on the cover of my local newspaper (which I than stole from my work place and now I'm keeping it forever). What a wonderful way to start the morning! There's also a vigil tonight in Little Rock with "special guest" :? , but I don't think I will be able to make it since it's middle of the week. I would love to attend the vigil.
    Hearts and thoughts they fade....
    fade away...

    I am at peace with my lust.....for Eddie.

    Here is a poem (I posted on other forum a few weeks ago). I wrote it for the WM3. I hope that they see justice. This makes me sick.


    WM3

    Take me as I am
    with the dust filled history
    of youths violent swarm.

    I stood in the streetlight glow
    and breathed life hard.
    I threw my arms to the sky and I screamed “NOW!!”

    But this is just a memory

    A sharp towering building crashed down
    and swept with it, my honor.

    The door slammed shut.

    Echoing.

    I sink so low on days when the sun comes in
    through tiny cracks in the concrete cell.

    I am shackled at the ankles.

    I am shackled as the world spins around.

    I am shackled and I am innocent.

    Take me as I am.
    For, I am like you.

    I dream of freedom.


    If I knew where it was I would take you there. There's much more than this
