Lily Suicide: Burk Sauls Of The West Memphis Three Support Group

LILY SUICIDE: Burk Sauls Of The West Memphis Three Support Group

On May 5, 1993, three young boys, Chris Byers, Michael Moore and Stevie Branch, were brutally murdered in the town of West Memphis, Arkansas. Grieving and looking for answers, the town allegedly bypassed evidence pointing at probable suspects. Instead, they prosecuted three teenage boys who were unconventional for the town of West Memphis. The boys, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Miskelly, wore black and listened to heavy metal music. They would later come to be known as the West Memphis...

A chunk of the proceeds from my show is going to the WM3 fund.

I'm not familiar with this. Netflix has the two documentaries. I just put the first one on top of my queue.

Great questions and answers.
Im glad to see there is still hope.
It boggles my mind that these 3 guys are still inside.

Great interview Lily. The WM3 are this generation's Scottsboro Boys.

I hope they find some justice soon.

Here's to the great work that everyone behind WM3.org is doing. Being from small-town Arkansas, I know what it's like to be the different one, and just how much beyond justice that can take things. Fortunantly the spotlight on this case is getting brighter everyday, and, hopefully, someday soon, Jessie, Jason, and Damien will be experiencing life outside the walls of the Arkansas prison system.

I loved the interview i went right to the website and donated some money for the cause. I hope everything works out for the three.

Your interview is thefirst time I've seen anything about this case. I'm not surprised by this injustice--history as far back as you want to go is full of similar stories. It just seems incongruous that in this "enlightened" age such witch hunts and convictions still occur. Unfortunately, money and votes seem to mean more than truth and justice--even in our age. I always believed that education and science would overcome prejudice and injustice, but it seems closed mindedness and the herd instinct are stronger than intelligence. Keep up the fight. Maybe your victory will restore my faith in our society--possibly not a lot, but a little bit, anyway.

Great interview, thanks for this.

I am so glad that this got on here. I have heard of them for a while now and hopefully they will get more supportive press like this. Great job!

Great read, really good interview! I can only hope the best for them

It's funny because just a few days ago I made a donation and got my WM3 t-shirt in the mail (which won't come off my back until it smells) and up goes this interview. Being a kid who was (and still is) looked at as strange because of my looks and beliefs, I always related to these guys, and it's scary to think how far this kind of prejudice can truly go. Thanks for the interview...the more this case stays in the spotlight, the more support they'll receive. Every little bit helps.

I don't understand how these people are still in prison given that there is (to my knowledge) no longer any conclusive evidence linking them to the crime. Surely it's illegal to detain people after the evidence against them has been invalidated?

Great job, Lily.

There are so many problems with our legal system and society in general.

Great Interview Lily!

We may think we live in the 21st Century . . where justice is purported to be blind and free of prejudice . . but all too often, you're only as free or equal as your local surroundings permit you to be. I have always believed that if the United States of America is, in fact, a single nation, then there should be only one set of laws, not 50, and there should be uniform due process. Its unsettling, for sure, to read an account such as this.

Your questions brought out the essence of this story, and your prologue made it an easy read.

You can be proud of your efforts!
