4. Apparently it was from one of the other fathers?

I was shocked it wasn't Mark Byers, as well. One thing is for sure in my mind -- the boys, now men, who are in prison are not the guilty parties. I hope this case is resolved soon and they're allowed to be free.

6. I posted this in the lounge and it dropped

I guess I should have posted it here..lol.

I've been following this case for a while and I am surprised there aren't more people here discussing it. Mark Byers has become very outspoken in support of the WM3 now and even Pam Hobbs has shown a bit of support. It is just fascinating and at the same time it shows how the poor are treated in regards to justice.

7. there seems to be a fair number of us following this case so you are not alone.

It's just so damn frustrating for us, i can't even imagine what it must like for all the families involved. I hope HBO does another doc to follow up the first 2.

8. They said that Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky were there today

At the rally they had in Arkansas today it was reported that they were there filming for a possible third part. Natalie Maines was also there.

10. I've been following this case for years

Even before DU came about. The Pagan community has been outspoken in support for the WM3 because at the time of the murders Damien identified as Wiccan and that was a big reason why he got railroaded. I think they even touched on it in the second HBO doc.

The whole thing is a travesty and I am praying these guys finally get some justice. Mob mentality put them on death row and it's sick to see this same kind of mentality at work on a daily basis...it seems we never learn as a society.

11. If you haven't seen the documentary about this case...

It's very, very good. His trial was an obvious witch hunt. It's very tragic that he's still in prison.

The documentary is called Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills. I highly recommend it:
