Damien Echols – Life After Death: The Shocking True Story of an Innocent Man on Death Row
In 1993, the “West Memphis Three” were charged with murdering eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. I was still in radio at the time and I remember our news department’s coverage of that case. I remember the charges of satanism. I remember the trial results–one of the three was sentenced to death, while the other two received life sentences. But as it turned out, they were innocent…
In 1993 three teenagers, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Miskelley, Jr., were arrested and charged with the murders of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. The ensuing trial was rife with inconsistencies, false testimony and superstition. Echols was accused of, among other things, practising witchcraft and satanic rituals–a result of the “satanic panic” prevalent in the media at the time. Baldwin and Miskelley were sentenced to life in prison. Echols, deemed the ringleader, was sentenced to death. He was eighteen years old.
In a shocking reversal of events, all three were suddenly released in August 2011. This is Damien Echols’ story in full: from abuses by prison guards and wardens, to descriptions of inmates and deplorable living conditions, to the incredible reserves of patience, spirituality, and perseverance that kept him alive and sane for nearly two decades. Echols also writes about his complicated and painful childhood. Like Dead Man Walking, Life After Death is destined to be a classic.
