The beginnings of a long epic emotionally exhausting 18 year klusterfuk of crazy. After this make sure you watch Paradise Lost 2, 3, and then west of Memphis. what's most upsetting though is that groupthink took hold and it affected these men's lives in ways that you can't imagine. It's mind-blowing

I am floored that these boys got convicted in the first place. The police were more worried about quickly "solving" the case instead of looking at real evidence and leads. I'll never live in Arkansas because they don't have a justice system whatsoever. The real killer is still out there cough cough Terry Hobbs. If it wasn't for this documentary then these guys would still be locked up and one of them put to death. The police just refuse to admit they made a mistake and because of that, they're allowing this monster to kill again, if he hasn't already.

All the documentaries are well done and timeless! I rewatched them with my 16 yr old son.... which was even disturbing 20 yrs later.... time they lost. Im so happy they are free! If wearing black is evil then that damn judge (all judges) and priests would be thrown in jail! So many ignorant people - karma got them all.... that so called "occult specialist" Dr. Dale Griffis who had absolutely no education on occult and made a fake career off WM3. His legacy is surely doomed. Karma!!
