It's about time. 20 years and justice is finally served for some.

Quote:

(Memphis 8/18/2011) WREG-TV has learned an agreement has been reached to release two of the West Memphis 3.

Multiple sources, including the father of one of the victims, have confirmed this will be announced at a special hearing Friday.

That hearing is scheduled to be held in Jonesboro, AR.
Damien Echols was sentenced to death, Jessie Misskelley, Jr. was sentenced to life imprisonment plus two 20-year sentences, and Jason Baldwin was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Recent tests on DNA evidence, including material from the crime scene, was found to not be a match to the defendants.

Many say Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley were wrongly convicted because police needed a quick solution to the case.

UPDATE:

All three will admit guilt to the crime and two will be released with time served
Steve Branch, the father of one of the victims tells us Damien Echols will be one of the men released

It's nice that they're getting out but I wouldn't say "justice has been served." I mean they're technically being forced to admit to crimes they didn't commit, doesn't sound too just to me.

Seriously, anyway, Disturbed wrote a song for them, and the money from it went to their appeal

So the DNA does not match, yet they have to admit before they'll be set free?

I guess it's time to mail the judge quite a few facepalm.jpegs.
