‘West Memphis Three’ Freed After Serving 17 Years In Prison!
After serving 17 years in prison, the three men known as the “West Memphis three” were released today. The three men were arrest and charged with murdering three 8-year-old boy-scouts and leaving their mutilated bodies in a ditch in May of 1992. One “West Memphis Three” man was sentenced to death while the other two men received sentences of 40 years. Because DNA testing was not available at their 1993 trial, DNA was tested in 2007 and found that there was no evidence that could link the men to the murders so they were re-tried. Read more about the “West Memphis Three” after the jump. @Julie1205
