Plethora of WM3 News
I'm so used to months going by without any West Memphis Three news, I've managed to let a bunch of stuff slide recently. With the new motions and DNA results in, there is a media frenzy (Finally!) in the works, one can only hope it continues.
WM3.org has video of Damien Echols death row interview with Larry King as well as full-page images of an article People magazine included in their January 12, 2008 edition and a blurb from Time magazine. If you're looking to expose the masses to the WM3 cause, Larry King, Time, and People are a great route to take, you can't get any more mainstream than that.
The recent revelation that Terry Hobbs DNA was discovered on the murder victims apparently caused Hell to freeze over and in turn cause John Mark Byers to become a WM3 supporter. As if the case couldn't get any more surreal.
And finally a feud has broken out between WM3.org and the WM3 Innocence Project. The feud seems to have sparked over questions made by WM3IP, over the handling of funds raised by WM3.org. I don't have anything to say about the spat, other than hoping that a public flame war does nothing to help Damien, Jason,and Jessie - in fact, quite the opposite. I will say this however, I interviewed Mara Leveritt - author of Devil's Knot and member of the board of directors of the WM3IP - a while back and have nothing but positive things to say about her. I just hope people remember the big picture here.
