  • Summary

  • This episode recounts the story of the West Memphis Three, three men convicted of murdering three young boys in 1994. The case was highly controversial, with many questioning the evidence against the accused and pointing to possible flaws in the investigation. The convictions were ultimately overturned in 2011 after new DNA evidence and juror misconduct were brought to light, leading to the release of the West Memphis Three after they entered Alford pleas, acknowledging the prosecution's evidence while maintaining their innocence. We then explore the investigation, trials, and appeals of the case, delving into evidence, witness testimonies, and the role of the media. We also examine the impact of the case on the families of both the victims and the accused, including the conflicting perspectives and the challenges of navigating a complex and emotionally charged situation.
