   West Memphis 3 were guilty

   September 3, 2010 - 2:40 am

   The West Memphis 3 were found guilty and lost every appeal.

   Echols (one of the 3) was seen in muddy clothes near the crime scene. He bragged about the murder to two other teenagers, stating he killed the three boys. This was presented as evidence at the trial. Echols also had a history of psychiatric treatment. His reported actions included brutally killing a dog, starting fires at his school, threatening to kill his teachers and parents and stating he liked to drink blood.

   Baldwin (another of the 3) confessed to a friend and described the crime to this friend. This evidence was presented at trial.

   Fibers on the murdered victims’ clothing were found to microscopically similar to things in the Baldwin and Echols homes.

   The DNA evidence does not link the stepfather to the crime. Hair fragments could have been on one of the boys through simple contact long before the crime.
