BENEFIT FOR THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE
BENEFIT FOR THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE

A Benefit to support the three teenagers convicted of ritual murder in West Memphis, Arkansas as documented in the film, "Paradise Lost."

The West Memphis Three were convicted of the alleged Satanic killing of three eight-year-old boys in 1993, despite a complete lack of physical evidence and a highly controversial trial, which culminated in a death sentence for Echols, and sentences of life without parole and life plus forty years for Balwin and Misskelley, respectively.

All proceeds from the benefit will go directly to the defense of Damien Echols, whose final chance of avoiding the lethal injection will happen when he files his federal habeas corpus petition this fall.

More information on the case, including the complete trial transcripts, can be found at www.wm3.org.
