Sorry to rain on the parade. I am not in favor of the death penalty. Neither am I in favor of naive

The case of the West Memphis Three was made famous by the HBO documentary, Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills have been set free from the Arkansas prison system that had been holding them since 1993. The controversy surrounding the incarceration of the Arkansas youths, who became known as the “West Memphis Three,” has made the story a national story for many years, as actors, musicians, and other activists rallied around in support.
The story of the West Memphis Three is long and winding, especially if you haven’t seen HBO’s documentary. Wikipedia is a good starting hosszupuska point , because, hosszupuska for brevity’s sake, we’re going to focus on the reaction concerning the West Memphis Three’s release, which is blowing up the Internet, especially Twitter, as I type. Speaking of Wikipedia, the entry for the WMT has already been updated to reflect their release.
@1NatalieMaines Natalie Maines The gag order has been lifted, so now I can tell you, I’m sitting in a holding room at the courthouse about to see three men walk free! 1 hour ago via Twitter for iPhone  · powered hosszupuska by @socialditto
Twitter has officially been consumed by the West Memphis Three and Damien Echols, the one in the middle of the lead image, and the face of the WMT. Even Eddie Vedder , lead singer of Pearl Jam, has become a Twitter trend based on his support of the WMT. Apparently, he and Maines were there to greet them as they were released:
@actionnews5 actionnews5 Jason Baldwin says he did not want to accept today’s deal, but did so because Damien Echols hosszupuska was on death row. #WM3 7 minutes ago via web · powered by @socialditto
Alford plea (also called Kennedy plea [1], Alford guilty plea[2][3][4] and Alford doctrine[5][6][7]) in the law of the United States is a guilty plea in criminal court,[8][9][10] where the defendant does not admit the act and asserts innocence.[11][12][13] Under the Alford plea, the defendant admits that sufficient evidence exists with which the prosecution could likely convince a judge or jury to find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
A person who spoke on condition of anonymity because of a gag order in the case told the AP the tentative deal includes a legal maneuver that would let the men maintain their innocence while acknowledging prosecutors likely have enough evidence to convict them.
The “ Free The West Memphis Three ” website feels the same. Thanks to the immediacy of Twitter, there’s also links to the reaction of Damien Echols concerning the most talked about prison release in some time:
I have now spent half my life on death row. It is a torturous environment that no human being should have to endure, and it needed to end. I am innocent, as are Jason and Jessie, but I made this decision because I did not want to spend another day of my life behind those bars. I want to live and to continue to fight for our innocence. Sometimes justice is neither pretty nor is it perfect, but it was important to take this opportunity to be free.
And this, friends, once again demonstrates the incredible power of the Internet and social media in particular. Perhaps it didn’t help free the WMT, per se, but it certainly help spread the word about their freedom, which is almost as important.
Damn southern hosszupuska justice is BS! Death row or not , if I didn’t do it there’s no way in hell I’d plead out! One thing for sure. Whoever signed hosszupuska the warrant would be DEAD! Support O. M. C. 313
Sorry to rain on the parade. I am not in favor of the death penalty. Neither am I in favor of naive idealistic members of the entertainment industry throwing their weight around, if they don’have other ulterior motives. The writer Norman Mailer successfully campaigned for the release the convicted killer,Jack hosszupuska Abbott, author of “In the Belly Of The Beast.” Thinking hosszupuska that as a writer, and a human being, the convict deserved freedom and a second chance. A few weeks after Jack’s release from prison he stabbed a young waiter to death. He then went on the run and was finally caught and sent back to prison where he later committed suicide. Having grown up with the feeling of being an outsider hosszupuska and underdog myself, I know that empathy/sympathy, but the real world demands adult perspectives.
