nov 4, 2010 - WEST MEMPHIS THREE DNA evidence could free 'West Memphis 3' jailed for killing three cub scouts

Description:

The men have gotten support from far beyond Arkansas and at a rally in Little Rock to raise money for Echols' legal fund, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, actor Johnny Depp and Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Mains came to support him and drew a crowd of more than 2,000 people.

Depp has fervently thrown his support behind the West Memphis 3 and said: 'They were easy targets. There was a need for swift justice at the time to placate, understandably, an angry and frightened community'.

Echols said in an interview with 48 Hours Mystery earlier this year: 'I don't believe this is just a random tragic thing. I have to hold on to the faith, the belief that this is for a reason and that something good will come out of this somehow'.
