Hi,
I just found this site in a google search; it's nice to be here and I'm really glad I found it !
I live in Memphis, TN, which is just across the Mississippi River from West Memphis, AR, where the WM3 case happened. But in some ways, Memphis and West Memphis are worlds apart. That case was, and is, a travesty of justice but it was certainly no surprise to anyone down here. In Memphis, Damien Echols wouldn't have attracted much notice from anyone.
But in West Memphis, AR, he stuck out like the proverbial sore thumb, and like most people of the age he was then, he probably believed that being innocent actually means something in this country.
He certainly knows better now.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. And again, it's nice to be here.
