What are your opinions on the West Memphis Three? If you don't know who the WM3 are, they are pretty much a group of teenagers who were arrested in the 90's for the murder of 3 children because they listened to metal music and wore black clothes.

Wait, why would I think they were rightly accused? Wasn't there a confession or something from the actual perpetrator? But yeah, the Satanic Panic was f****d up. Those three were innocent, no doubt. But wasn't there a crooked cop involved? & one of the murdered kids' dads? I don't remember all the details, but I'm definitely not on the fence. One of them was even released, decades after a crime on which they were convicted purely based on (in my opinion, unconvincing) circumstantial evidence. "oh, you're a loner / wear dark clothes / don't fit in with the goody-goodies?" "yes?" "you must be a satanic child-slaying freak!" -_-

One of the three was interrogated for 12 hours + and they didn't even realise what was happening. It is sick.
