Updates on the West Memphis Three (WM3)

By , About.com Guide

The West Memphis Three (WM3) are three young men who were accused of murdering three children in the 1990s. Since that time, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Miskelley have been in prison in Arkansas. Their fight for a fair trial has been an ongoing issue of interest to many Wiccans and Pagans, because at the time of their conviction, Echols was accused of practicing "black magic" and engaging in Satanic rituals. Here are some of the headlines we've seen here at Pagan/Wiccan About.com regarding the West Memphis Three.
