In 1993, three eight-year-old boys were brutally murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas. What followed was a whirlwind of satanic panic, coerced confessions, and a controversial conviction of three local teenagers — Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr.
Decades later, new evidence would shake the foundation of the case and raise disturbing questions about the American justice system.
In this episode, we unravel the investigation, the media frenzy, and the battle for exoneration in one of the most infamous miscarriages of justice in U.S. history: the case of the West Memphis Three.
