Podcast appearances and mentions of jessie misskelley

This week on Revisited, Brian and Dani sit down to do what they do best — push each other, question everything, and dig into the case that still haunts anyone who's looked at it twice: the West Memphis Three.Three little boys murdered in 1993.Three teenagers convicted in a rush of fear, moral panic, and bad police work. But two decades later, those convictions unraveled — and now, the lines between guilt, innocence, and justice are blurrier than ever.Brian brings the cold facts. Dani brings the bigger picture.Together, they pull the case apart — from Jessie Misskelley's confession to the shaky forensics, to the politics behind the Alford plea that let the West Memphis Three walk free… without ever being declared innocent.Did the justice system fail — or did it do exactly what it was built to do? Is the case closed, or just abandoned?This isn't about who wore black or who listened to Metallica. It's about a town that needed someone to blame — and a truth that may still be buried in those Arkansas woods. No clean answers. Just two voices, one brutal case, and a whole lot of questions.

In this episode of The Guilty Files Uncovered, Brian steps into dangerous territory — the West Memphis Three. But this isn't your typical Uncovered case. Here, the facts tell one story, but the deeper truth refuses to stay quiet.In 1993, three young boys — Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers — were found brutally murdered in a muddy ditch in West Memphis, Arkansas. It was a crime that stunned the town and shocked the nation. Within weeks, three teenagers — Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley — were arrested. They were different. They listened to heavy metal. They wore black. In the eyes of a panicked public, they fit the picture of evil.But what happens when fear outweighs evidence? When a confession is pulled from a vulnerable kid under hours of pressure? When juries are fed stories of Satanism instead of proof?Brian usually sticks to the cold, hard facts. But the West Memphis Three isn't just about facts — it's about the cracks in the system, the human cost of rushed judgment, and the haunting possibility that the real perpetrator, or perpetrators, are still out there.The three young men were eventually freed after spending nearly two decades behind bars — not exonerated by a clear confession or DNA match, but released through a complicated legal deal that left as many questions as answers.This case doesn't offer the neat closure we're used to. It challenges us to look past what we think we know and ask harder questions: Who failed? Who lied? And who's still getting away with it?Brian pulls back the curtain — no spin, no sugarcoating — to show how sometimes, getting to the truth means admitting how little we really know. The West Memphis Three. One of America's most haunting miscarriages of justice. Only on The Guilty Files.

#243: Nur wenige Kilometer von der Metropole Memphis entfernt liegt der unscheinbare Vorort West Memphis – ein Ort, wie es ihn in den USA tausendfach gibt: geprägt von staubigen Straßen, der Arbeiterklasse und Trailerparks. Doch in den 1990er-Jahren erlangt dieser gewöhnliche Vorort weltweit traurige Berühmtheit. Am 5. Mai 1993 verschwinden drei Jungen. Kurze Zeit später werden die Leichen von Stevie Branch, Michael Moore und Christopher Byers in einem nahegelegenen Waldstück gefunden – nackt, gefesselt und verstümmelt. Die Polizei hat schnell einen Verdächtigen im Visier: Damien Echols, ein Außenseiter, der sich schwarz kleidet, Heavy Metal hört und dem nachgesagt wird, den Teufel anzubeten. Zusammen mit seinen Freunden Jason Baldwin und Jessie Misskelley wird er verhaftet. Die sogenannten „West Memphis Three“ sollen die Morde angeblich im Rahmen eines satanistischen Rituals begangen haben – ein Verdacht, für den es keinerlei Beweise gibt. Dies ist die zweite Folge zum Fall der West Memphis Three. Wenn dir der Name Damien Echols nichts sagt, hör dir zuerst die letzte Folge „Im Todestrakt“ an. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, welche Rolle die damals weitverbreitete „Satanic Panic“ in diesem Fall spielte. Wir beleuchten die Tragödie der drei Jugendlichen, die fehlerhaften Ermittlungen und die Hexenjagd, die sie zu Sündenböcken machte. Und die Frage, die vielleicht für immer unbeantwortet bleibt: Was geschah wirklich in West Memphis?

Is anybody really safe? You see the storyline in every form of entertainment, "Arrested for a crime they didn't commit", but what if it wasn't just a storyline? For Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley it's the story of their lives. The West Memphis Three, as they have come to be known, were convicted of the murders of three 8-year-old boys who were killed on May 5th, 1993. Christopher Byers, Michael Moore, and Stevie Branch were found in a creek the next day, and one thing was on everyone's minds. Satanic Panic. Beliefs of the boys being sacrificed to Satan led investigators to accused Satanist, Damien Echols. The only problem was Damien wasn't a Satanist. That didn't stop the Arkansas justice system from sentencing him to death, Jason to Life imprisonment, and Jessie to Life+ for a crime they didn't commit.

Episode 105 “Exonerate the West Memphis 3” - An Interview with Dan Stidham, Defense Attorney and co-author of A Harvest of Innocence: The True Story of the West Memphis Murder Case Part 4: In a heartfelt interview, author Dan Stidham and Jill discuss the inside story of defending the West Memphis Three's Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin as a young, inexperienced attorney, caught up in mass hysteria.  The malignant prosecution that conspired with a biased judge to convict three innocent teenagers for the 3 horrendous murders of 8-year-old boys, left a killer loose in Arkansas. Threatened, attacked, treated as a pariah, Dan suffers from PTSD, even as he receives new tips and information to this day.  With Misskelley and Baldwin out of prison (along with Echols), today Dan pursues the exoneration of the West Memphis Three, and—long overdue justice for the victims, Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers, who's killer has never been identified-- but Dan and Jill both have theories on WHO committed these gruesome murders!.   Buy A Harvest of Innocence by Dan Stidham & Tom McCarthy on Amazon- (highly recommended!  Sources, photographs, recipes and drink information can be found on Jill's blog at www.murdershelfbookclub.com – Oct 2024.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  Part 3 In this stunning episode, Jessie Misskelley, Jason Baldwin and Damien Echols languish in prison, as the Paradise Lost films are released, causing the public to become aware of the injustice and wrongful convictions of the West Memphis Three. Claiming ineffective counsel and a violation of Jason and Jessie's rights, Dan Stidham fights for a new trial, with new attorneys joining the team.  Then, out of the blue, Dan receives a shocking call- an Alford Plea has been accepted and the West Memphis Three, after 18 years and 78 days, are released from prison.  Stunned by the rapid twist of events, Dan strives to understand what happened and why, as devastating revelations come forth.   (Part 4: Join Jill for her interview with Dan Stidham in 2 weeks!)   Buy A Harvest of Innocence by Dan Stidham & Tom McCarthy on Amazon- (highly recommended!)

Part 2: Preparing for trial, against all odds, defense attorney Dan Stidham gathers world-class experts from a variety of fields, ready to prove his client, Jessie Misskelley, did not kill the 3 boys of West Memphis, wasn't at the crime scene, and his confession should be inadmissible according to the law.   But judicial hijinks derail the Defense's plans as the State repeatedly violates Jessie's rights. Convicted, a bewildered teenage, Jessie tries to adjust to prison, as Dan vows to never quit until Jessie is out of prison.  Filing appeal after appeal, the court stacks the deck against the defense.  Adapting to his new pariah status, Dan sees the tide begin to change when the film, Paradise Lost is released, exposing judicial malfeasance and a case that rests on sketchy evidence & flawed eyewitness testimony.  Meanwhile, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin remain in prison, with Damien Echols on -death row-.   Ep 104 'Paradise Imperfect" on A Harvest of Innocence, will drop in two weeks!

On the evening of May 5, 1993, three eight-year-old boys—Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers—went missing in West Memphis, Arkansas. The next day, in a nearby wooded area, the boys were found brutally murdered, bound, and submerged in a drainage ditch. The horrific nature of the crime shocked the community, and police quickly arrested three local teenagers—Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley—based on a coerced false confession, no solid evidence, and Satanic panic.This is the story of three innocent children whose lives were stolen in an unspeakable act of violence. It's also the story of three wrongfully convicted teenagers who spent 18 years in prison, one of them on death row, for a crime they didn't commit—the victims of a flawed justice system and a community in the grip of fear.In today's episode, I'm honored to discuss a case that has gripped me for many years with the one man who has been involved since the beginning: Jessie Misskelley's original defense attorney, case advocate, and author of the recent book, A Harvest of Innocence: Judge Dan Stidham.This is our discussion about his book and the tragic case of the West Memphis Three.A Harvest of Innocence by Dan Stidham on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Harvest-Innocence-Untold-Memphis-Murder/dp/B0CMYZ2BT7 Judge Stidham's website: https://www.danstidham.com Email Judge Stidham with information about the case: harvestofinnocence@outlook.comTruth & Justice with Bob Ruff podcast: https://www.truthandjusticepod.com Paradise Lost documentary series: https://www.max.com/shows/paradise-lost/d509d74f-3c01-4367-9a42-a3aece5de4c9 The Forgotten West Memphis Three docuseries: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12092348/ West of Memphis documentary: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2130321/ Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/STLCpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com. By supporting me on Patreon, you'll also access rewards, including a shout-out by name on the podcast and exclusive rewards.

Fan Mail Me BrrrruuuuunnndenWere Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley victims of a modern-day witch hunt, or were they truly guilty of the horrifying crimes for which they were convicted? Join us in this electrifying episode as Jay and I lock horns over the polarizing West Memphis Three case. I argue that these teenagers were unfairly targeted due to their intelligence and nonconformity in a conservative town, while Jay contends with the disturbing elements of Aleister Crowley's teachings being used as evidence against them. We also scrutinize the lack of DNA evidence and the role of media, especially documentaries, in shaping public opinion and highlighting the questionable competence of the lead investigator.Our investigation doesn't stop there. We shift our focus to other potential suspects, Terry Hobbs and Mark Byers, and dissect their behaviors, testimonies, and personal histories, including allegations of satanic cult involvement. We probe into emotional and psychological impacts, biases in the trial, and the potential cover-up theories that swirl around the case. With the added dimension of celebrity involvement, particularly Peter Jackson's financial support, this discussion raises essential questions about the integrity of the legal proceedings and the broader implications of community corruption.

Welcome to our gripping true crime series that delves deep into one of the most infamous cases in American history: the West Memphis 3. In 1993, the brutal murders of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas, shocked the nation and ignited a media frenzy. But as the wrongfully convicted trio—Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley—spent nearly two decades behind bars, questions arose: Who really committed these horrific crimes? In this series, we will explore the evidence, the investigations, and the tireless advocates who believe in the innocence of the West Memphis 3. We'll dissect the Paradise Lost documentaries, which brought this tragic story to light, analyzing their portrayal of the events and the individuals involved. Are they a fair representation of the facts, or do they obscure the truth? Join us as we interview experts, examine court documents, and hear from both supporters and skeptics. Prepare for an insightful journey that challenges mainstream narratives, raises critical questions about the justice system, and seeks to uncover the real story behind this haunting case.

On May 5th, 1993, three young boys were murdered and mutilated in West Memphis, Arkansas. The gruesome crime scene led investigators to believe that the homicides were part of a satanic ritual. As the community searched for the devil among their fellow men, three teenage boys became targets: Jason Baldwin, Jessie Misskelley, and Damien Echols. The trio were subsequently arrested and convicted of the crimes, yet despite a false confession, no evidence linked them to the murders. Judge Dan Stidham was Jessie Misskelley's defense attorney and was the only lawyer to work the case from beginning to end. He reflects on his years-long battle for freedom and justice and discusses the impact the case continues to have on him to this day. Judge Stidham has been a full-time District Court Judge in Arkansas since 2008 and spent 20 years in private law practice. In his new book, A Harvest Of Innocence, Judge Stidham reveals chilling new information in the case of the West Memphis Three.

A Harvest of Innocence is Dan Stidham's story, until now untold, regarding his involvement in the West Memphis 3 murder case. He stepped into its current as a young lawyer, unaware of its strength and the immutable, unpredictable eddies that would forever change his life and his view of the law. He tells it now because it must be told. He spent most of the past 30 years viewed in widely disparate lights. In the beginning, to some he was a pariah, a man so bold as to represent a teenager accused of being a Satanic child killer. Much later, others began to respect his efforts in seeking justice for Jessie Misskelley. In the real world, it is much more complicated than that. He was nothing more than a lawyer committed to doing his job, what was required of him by his moral compass. As a reward for his efforts, he spent a good deal of the past 30 years being pummeled by those hellbent on stopping his quest for justice for the West Memphis 3, 3 young men who spent nearly two decades in prison for heinous crimes they simply did not commit. This is the true story of those events.

In the Spring of 1993, three eight-year-old boys were murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas. And immediately, thanks to outlandish, paranoid Satanic Panic notions, investigative suspicion fell on a local eighteen-year-old, Damien Echols, ignorantly believed to be the leader of a local Satanic cult, and two of his teen friends, falsely believed to be his followers... Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UiP4cd3rvH8Merch: https://www.badmagicmerch.comTimesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vThanks to our Patreon supporters for allowing us to donate $12,900 to truckersagainsttrafficking.org and another $1,440 to our scholarship fund! Thanks to Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio for the first soundbed, and "CESARE RIDES AGAIN" by WombatNoisesAudio for the second soundbed. Want to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?

On May 5th, 1993 Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers went out for a bike ride and never came home.In 1994 three teenagers, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley were convicted of the crimes. The case gathered widespread media attention which was only amplified by the 1996 release of HBO's Paradise Lost. For nearly two decades “The West Memphis Three,” fought for their innocence eventually entering an Alford plea that led to their release in 2011. With new evidence and technology, thirty years later this is a case that may finally be solved.In part one of this series we're going to look at things the way they initially seemed and try and get to know Stevie, Michael and Chris while we try and gain a broader understanding of the murders that happened on May 5th, 1993 in West Memphis, Arkansas, and why things aren't always what they seem to be.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5803223/advertisement

West Memphis, Arkansas is located in Crittenden County and is directly across the Mississippi River from Memphis Tennessee, but in 1993, West Memphis and Memphis were worlds apart. Memphis boasted a healthy and growing population of over 620 thousand, while West Memphis had just over 28 thousand residents. But Memphis, TN struggled with high crime rates, with 1993 setting a record for the most homicides in one year, a record that wasn't broken until 2016. West Memphis Arkansas had a more small town, laid back feel, and as cliche as it sounds, people felt safe leaving their doors unlocked and letting their young children play outside all day with no supervision. That was until May 5th, 1993, when three eight year old boys rode away on their bikes, eager to expel the energy they had built up all day while sitting in their second grade classrooms at Weaver Elementary School, but they never came home. It wouldn't be long before the residents of West Memphis and then the world found out what happened to Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers. Their battered and mutilated bodies were found the next day in a swampy wooded area known to locals as Robin Hood Hills, and the community of West Memphis felt a shockwave hit their community that they would not recover from for some time. Within a month three teenagers were arrested and charged with capital murder, and it wasn't long before whispers of witchcraft, devil worship and occult killings rippled throught the homes and businesses of West Memphis, and those whispers eventually turned into a loud roar, a roar that might accompany an angry mob looking for someone to blame for an unimaginable tragedy, akin to the infamous witch hunts that are dotted throughout history. This is the story of six boys from West Memphis, Arkansas; three were brutally murdered and stolen from this world far before their time, the other three were marched to the proverbial gallows, guilty in the court of public opinion, and found guilty in an actual court of law. Six lives destroyed, six lives forever changed, six lives eternally tied together.

Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley were convicted of the murder of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas, accused of being Satanists, and fans of classic rock. They became known at the West Memphis Three, and posterchildren for the wrongfully convicted. Yet, questions remain, such as Echols' statements about enjoying the taste of human blood. Matt and Bill break down the case. Death Row Diaries is the only podcast hosted live from Death Row.

Special guest host, Joseph, from Formidable Opponents is with us this week! We have completed the trio...the trifecta! We discuss the details of the famous West Memphis 3 case. The heartbreaking murders of three 8 year old boys and the bias and lack of evidence surrounding the arrests of Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley.  Merchandise: https://did-not-need-to-know.creator-spring.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/didnotneedtoknow/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DNNTKpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/dnntkpodcastWebsite: https://https://www.didnotneedtoknow.com

En 1993, trois petits garçons sont tués sauvagement à West Memphis dans l'Arkansas. La police dépourvue de compétences et entichée dans une diabolisation du rock provoque la chute de trois adolescents : Jessie Misskelley, Jason Baldwin et Damien Echols. L'affaire devient alors un fiasco judiciaire hallucinant qui fait froid dans le dos. Le manque de preuves et les contradictions des témoignages ne suffisent pas pour contrer la condamnation de trois jeunes hommes, surnommés les "West Memphis Three". Plusieurs personnalités telles que Johnny Depp montent au créneau pour dénoncer l'innocence des accusés. Après 18 années de prison, les trois adolescents devenus adultes sont libérés.

Being convicted and freed from prison for the crime of murdering Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers made the West Memphis Three famous. In this episode we explore the background and character of each of the convicted child killers. William Ramsey of the "William Ramsey Investigates" podcast takes on Damien Echols. True crime researcher Jennifer Carlson discusses Jessie Misskelley and Rick Mullenax of the "Burn After Reading" YouTube channel discusses Jason Baldwin.This episode is dedicated to Gary Meece.

May 5th, 1993 was a tragic day for so many people in West Memphis Arkansas as three eight-year-old boys (Stevie Branch, Christopher Byers, and Michael Moore) went missing . By the next morning, instead of panic, the town felt palpable fear with the discover that the young second-graders had been brutally and senselessly murdered. By 1994, three local teens were in prison, convicted of the murders; but the story hasn't ended there. This is part 3 of our series in which we examine the trials and convictions as well as explore various theories concerning who might be the perpetrator(s). In this week's episode, we speak with Terry Hobbs, step-father of Stevie Branch, who is currently the focus of guilt in the court of public opinion.

In Episode 11, Kyle and Lisa talk about the May 5, 1993 murders of Christopher Byers, Steve Branch and Michael Moore, in West Memphis, Arkansas.  Their bodies were found bound and naked in a ditch in an area known to locals as “Robin Hood Hills,” a patch of woods bordering the boys' subdivision.  On June 3, 1993, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, Jr. were arrested after Miskelley confessed to West Memphis detectives.  The three were convicted after two separate trials in 1994.  Their campaign in the court of public opinion started with Paradise Lost:  The Child Murders in Robin Hood Hills and continues today with press releases alleging that the State of Arkansas has an obligation to allow re-testing of DNA evidence.  Kyle and I will talk about the evidence against the three killers, their direct appeals and state post-conviction claims and outcomes, the inconclusive DNA testing conducted between 2005 and 2011 and the Alford pleas, which were entered instead of the three killers presenting their allegedly exculpatory evidence at new trial hearings that were set to begin in December, 2011.

It's a 3 parter! This week Kelsie dives into the famous West Memphis 3 case that took place in the early 90's. A gruesome, heinous serial murder of three children that leads to a wrongful conviction of three teenagers who are still trying to recover to this day. A police department who went into this case with an alternative agenda and complete disregard for the victims ruins the lives of innocent people and never gave justice to the families of those whose lives were taken.

In Episode 6, Kyle and Lisa talk about the May 5, 1993 murders of Christopher Byers, Steve Branch and Michael Moore, in West Memphis, Arkansas.  Their bodies were found bound and naked in a ditch in an area known to locals as “Robin Hood Hills,” a patch of woods bordering the boys' subdivision.  Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, Jr. were arrested in June, 1993 and convicted after two separate trials in 1994.  Beginning in 2002, the three began a 9-year saga of DNA testing that ended with inconclusive results and an Alford plea deal proposed by the killers' attorneys in July, 2011.  In 2017, podcaster Bob Ruff requested additional DNA testing using MVac, a collection method that had been in use in Utah since 2011.  Ruff falsely led viewers to believe that the prosecutor was obligated to grant his request for testing, in spite of his lack of agency or authority on behalf of the killers.  When Ruff's efforts proved unsuccessful, Echols' attorneys stepped in to continue the propaganda campaign.  Kyle and I will talk about the request for testing by Echols' attorneys and the propaganda campaign that continues with Echols' request for DNA testing made in January, 2022.

In our season 2 premier we discuss the cost of being different in a small conservative town and being a fan of heavy metal. Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley are on trial for horrendous crimes they were accused of and how the world reacted to them.

In part 2 of the West Memphis Three Crime Cast we cover the investigation that led to the arrests of Jason Baldwin, Damien Echols, and Jessie Misskelley (The WM3).  In part 2, we discuss how the WM3 became the prime suspects for the murders and how the West Memphis PD built their shaky case against the accused.  Tune in next week for part 3 covering the trial.

All of the West Memphis 3 killers had recorded episodes of violence prior to the killing of Michael Moore, Stevie Branch and Christopher Byers. Misskelley, in particular, bullied young children. I also offer an update on the burning questions surrounding the handling of the evidence. 

The case of the West Memphis Three is a famous one, done more than a few times in American culture due to the fact that the alleged perpetrators of this crime (the killing of three young boys) were three teenage boys who in the end, were cruelly thrown in jail when the only evidence against them was a coerced confession by one of the alleged killers.Because of the enormous amount of attention that the victims of a twisted justice protocol received the boys that were murdered sometimes get thrown into the background. The boys who were killed were Steven Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers. The teenagers who became known as the West Memphis Three (West Memphis,  Arkansas) are Damien Echols, Jessie MissKelley and Jason Baldwin. Lyndon from the podcast, Murder at Bedtime with Lyndon and Debbie from The Right Shoe get together once again for a look at this very disturbing case, both in what happened to the victims and how the alleged killers became victims themselves. 

Jessie Misskelley, one of the West Memphis 3 killers, confessions to his attorney with his hand on the Bible.   From (Vol 2) "Where the Monsters Go,"  one of the books by Gary Meece on the case, along with (Volume 1) "Blood on Black," and a revised, combined, condensed version, "The Case Against the West Memphis 3 Killers."   

The information on Jessie Misskelley's failed alibis are drawn from my book, "Where the Monsters Go," available on Amazon along with "Blood on Black" (volume 1, "Monsters" being volume 2) along with "The Case Against the West Memphis Three Killers."
