Depp, Vedder, Dixie Chick Hold Concert For West Memphis 3

Tell the worthless pieces of dog dung to crawl back into their hole.The law and justice has been served.Dixie Chicks is worthless anyway.

I hope for the parents of the slain children that the West Memphis Three sopposedly murdered that this is not something that will free these boys to do all over again.I believe that they were convicted because of the facts and not out of sympathy.I would hate to see them freed but can understand everyone wants to see the children set free if there is any doubt they are guilty of this act.Everyone needs to pray about this situation and hopefully this can be laid to rest forever.

The West Memphis Three were not convicted on any fact, actually quite the opposite. If there were any "facts" that did convict them I doubt anyone would be actively supporting them. Praise to those that have lent their names and talent to raise awareness for this injustice.
FREE THE WM3!!!!

OMG! The Dixie Chicks and Depp all have children. What if their children had been murdered? Would they be happy that some celebs decided the wrong people were in jail?

I think we should leave this kind of stuff to people who know ALL the facts, and that do this for a living everyday.

What if God forbid, they were let out of jail, and they had really commited this horrific crime, and maybe do it to some more little boys?

The whole thing is a mess........so sad

When these people say and do these things, they should say which or what character there are playing at the time..
These are character players and when they try to present their real person they make comment about hating the US or the president or wanting to move to another country..
They should try that and report back about how the other country put up with your fame, fortune and opinion..

OOPs, I didn't read first..There's an opinion for a country that took the citizens guns away and does not allow these type comments..
Good luck, australia..

What a waste of talent

three losers for well, three losers.

Become informed people!!!!! Your heads are buried way too deep in the sand and are obviously suffering from oxygen deprivation. If you care enough to have an opinion please please make it an educated opinion. There are thousands of supporters world wide who have made an informed choice to support this cause, each of them becoming aware of the facts as much or as little as necessary to convince themselves of the WM3's innocence. Now there are people out there like Johnny Deep, Natalie Mains who are willing to stand up for what is right.
Surely by now you have to ask yourself why!!!! The answer is quite simple. Damien, Jason and Jessie are not guilty for the crimes for which they have been convicted and until they are free, people like us will continue to fight for their freedom.

My only regret is that I am unable to attend these rallies in person as I literally live on the other side of the world.

Here is an original thought, why don't you who have commented and wish to comment next, utilize your internet skills to understand the facts for yourselves? Or would you rather justly blindly say justice was served....after all there isn't anyone in prison who doesn't deserve to be there right?....yes that was sarcasm dripping from my words...

It is no small thing that the parents of the murdered boys are now supporting a new trial, this alone speaks volumes about the injustice of the case, those parents know more than any of you could possibly know and they choose to support a new trial. Having read All of the information publicly available, I also have now changed my opinion but it is important to note that I am NOBODY, as are each of you. Now as a point of reference I state that I am nobody because my opinion on this little forum does not count, just like yours does not count, however I am a well informed nobody and one absolute truth is that I have formed my opinion justly, I have not followed what others say and I have not shown myself to be a fool by making a statement here based on what I "heard" about the case. I have read, studied, and in all other ways chosen to seek out the information on the case so that I can speak my opinion based on the facts at hand. Each of you should do the same and stop being cattle that follow other cattle. There is not a single person here reading this now that could maintain the opinion of guilt for the the three convicted if they study the facts of the case, there are however many cows here who can and will follow the other cows to the conclusion of guilt if they choose not to study the facts and only hold to the opinion that "if the three were put on trial and found guilty, then that is enough for me"

I am confident that many of you will find my comments offensive, and surely cows will....so before you waste your time commenting, know that I will not be reading any reply that you may submit. This is a simple matter and you can find the facts for yourselves or continue on a foolish and uninformed path.

What is the matter with you people? These three pieces of crap have been sentenced by the law that you keep crying about. They were convicted so let them pay the price. Johnny Depp, Natalie Maines and this Verdder guy are nothing anyway. Depp is an idiot and Maines is a no talent cow. What in hell do they know about the case? Their popularity is nothing now and they just want some notierity.

Assumptions need to stop! These men did not, I repeat, did not kill the three boys. They have spent 17 unjustified years in prison for crimes they did not commit. All because they lived in small-town, West Memphis, Arkansas and ADULTS made assumptions because they dressed differently and listened to "strange" music. The same clothing and music much of the youth of the country and even the world wore and listened to at that time. Especially the youth of Memphis, Tennessee, just across the Mississippi River. Is it right and justified to persecute someone because they seek alternative religious understanding? Is it right to persecute a young adult that is not intelligent enough to withstand the rigorous questioning he was inundated with? Is it justified to convict three young men based for reasons that the police and investigative teams did not do a decent job of figuring out the puzzle of who did actually brutally murder the three innocent victims?

It is so sad to see that these men have missed so much of their lives due to a police force that is unwilling to admit there is no evidence to continue holding them where they are. I am the same age as the three young victims would have been today. It is sad knowing their sick, sadistic murder still walks freely while three men sit and wait for a fair trial that may never ever happen.

I believe that is ludicrous that these untalented performers would lend their services in support of these 3 convicted murderors. This is a slap in the face to the families of the victims of these 3 individuels.

After having recently read a book about this case I am astonished and deeply bothered. I could not believe the state's case or " lack there of " that was presented against these three young men. I am however still astonished that jessie confessed. At that age i would have been screaming and climbing the walls that i didnt do it. The Byers guy reeked of possible guilt and his behavior after the murders took place still baffles me also. We may never know the truth.

Echols, Miskelley and Baldwin were supposed to have sodomized, beat and stab these three poor boys, yet none, yep NONE of their DNA has been retrieved from the crime scene. This FACT will not change whether Australia has tight gun control laws or not.
Free The WM3!

Echols (one of the 3) was seen in muddy clothes near the crime scene. He bragged about the murder to two other teenagers, stating he killed the three boys. This was presented as evidence at the trial. Echols also had a history of psychiatric treatment. His reported actions included brutally killing a dog, starting fires at his school, threatening to kill his teachers and parents and stating he liked to drink blood.
--
Baldwin (another of the 3) confessed to a friend and described the crime to this friend. This evidence was presented at trial.
--
Fibers on the murdered victims’ clothing were found to microscopically similar to things in the Baldwin and Echols homes.

West Memphis 3 confession, physical evidence http://bit.ly/cOT2ft

Damien Wayne ECHOLS and Charles Jason Baldwin v. STATE of Arkansas CR 94-928 S.W.2d
#####
There was substantial evidence of the guilt of appellant Echols where, among other things, the testimony of witnesses placed him in dirty clothes near the crime scene at a time close to the murders; where two independent witnesses reported Echols’s statement that he had killed the three boys and was direct evidence of the statement;
#####
where a criminalist from the State Crime Laboratory and a State Medical Examiner testified concerning the similarity of fibers found on the victim’s clothes with clothing found in Echols’s home and the serrated wound patterns on the three victims that were consistent with, and could have been caused by, a knife found in a lake behind appellant Baldwin’s parents’ residence....
#####
Twelve-year-old Christy VanVickle testified that she heard Echols say he “killed the three boys.” Fifteen-year-old Jackie Medford testified that she heard Echols say,“I killed the three little boys and before I turn myself in, I’m going to kill two more, and I already have one of them picked out.” The testimony of these two independent witnesses was direct evidence of the statement by Echols....

I said, just between me and you, did you do it. I won’t say a word. He said yes and he went into detail about it. It was just me and Jason [Baldwin]. He told me he dismembered the kids, or I don’t know exactly how many kids. He just said he dismembered them. He sucked the blood from the p_nis and scrotum and put the b_lls in his mouth.

Lol, you all need to get some relevent case information. You will continue to ignore the DNA evidence because you care more about the fact that you have waisted years of your life purporting the guilt of three innocent boys than you do real justice for the poor victims. Trying to elevate the importance of a red rayon fibre or that of a green cotton one over that of DNA evidence voids any bit rumour evidence you put forth. Surely you know that Medford has since said that Echols was being sarcastic and that Judge Burnett knew that Carson was going to commit perjury. Also I would like to see any evidence that Carson and Baldwin were friends... oh that's right there is evidence to the opposite.

Free The WM3!

I trust the real evidence of the court over that of blogs, bloggers and musicians.
####
Echols had a long history of serious problems. You clearly ignore this.
####
The DNA evidence does not link the stepfather to the crime. Hair fragments could have been on one of the boys through simple contact long before the crime.
####
Evidence is not needed that Carson and Baldwin were friends. Baldwin testified in court.
####
The real WM3 are the three murdered boys.
####
Here's the opinion of someone actually involved in the case, not a movie star or a rock star.
####
Assistant Attorney General Brent Standridge
http://bit.ly/chuLZP
"I saw no error in the trials of the cases and the Arkansas Supreme Court unanimously affirmed their convictions and sentences (Echols also sought review of his case by the Supreme Court of the United States-that review was denied)."

No matter what the yokels from Arkannimarrymysister say, real crime scene investigators, real forensic specialist, i.e. Michael Badden, Henry Lee, and a whole slew of real attorneys who aren't protecting their local political standing have testified that the local peanut heads who investigated first were wrong. The family of the dead boys are now supporting the three convicted, who are you MORONS to challenge them?
