Break in West Memphis Murders: Echols' Lawyers Say New DNA Evidence Could Clear Them

[JCMach1]

A legal team for convicted murderer Damien Echols claims new DNA evidence proves their client is innocent and connects Terry Hobbs, step-father of one of murdered boys, to the crime.

Echols' attorney filed a motion in federal court with their new DNA test results, scientific analysis by national forensic experts, and new affidavits refuting information in Echols' previous trial.

In terms of DNA evidence, Echols' legal team claims two hairs were found on the boys. The team claims one of the hairs matches Terry Hobbs, while a second hair matches a man who was with Hobbs on the night of the crime... http://www.myeyewitnessnews.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=ba2c0a78-a1c1-45c0-9e87-5fb8f4648d6a

This is a case I have followed for years since the documentary 'Paradise Lost'... For those of you who know the case, this turned into a modern day 'witch hunt'

1. I think when they're cleared they should get to own that fucking town

The cops should have to wear pink frilly dresses for everyday that they spent in prison.

3. I rented "Paradise Lost" earlier this year from Netflix

Blew me away. How could you watch that and NOT think the father did it? Is Hobbs the one who repeatedly made a fool of himself in front of the cameras, and got his teeth fixed so that the bite marks wouldn't match?

Unbelievable.

IT'S ABOUT TIME.
