Dear Governor Huckabee
New Article by Mara Leveritt re: the West Memphis Three
In mid-April, I helped cook up a scheme with a convicted killer.
My co-conspirator was Jason Baldwin, one of the three young men who became known as the "West Memphis Three" after their convictions in 1994 for murdering three 8-year-old boys in that city.
In 2002 I wrote a book, "Devil's Knot," about the case. It ended, as had the trials, with Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr., at ages 16 and 17, being sentenced to life in prison, and Damien Echols, 18, being sentenced to death.
Twelve years later, appeals for all three continue. - Arkansas Times
