In the sixth episode of the West Memphis 3 series on "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison is joined again by Jacob from the Rise to Liberty podcast for "NWJ803- Pt 6 of Who TF are the West Memphis 3? w/Jacob of Rise to Liberty". This installment takes a hard look at some of the most common arguments used to claim the innocence of Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, and Jason Baldwin in the 1993 murders of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. Jose and Jacob methodically break down roughly half of the frequently cited “proof of innocence” points — from alleged trial errors and Alibi claims to claims of evidence mishandling — and examine whether they hold up under closer scrutiny.Maintaining their skeptical stance, the hosts push back against several popular talking points that dominate documentaries and online discussions, questioning if these arguments are as airtight as supporters claim or if they fall apart when viewed alongside the full context of the case. This episode sets the stage for Part 7, where they'll tackle the remaining major innocence arguments. It's a no-holds-barred, listener-friendly breakdown that cuts through the noise and invites you to think critically about one of true crime's most fiercely debated cases.Please consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicNo Way, Jose!

The West Memphis Three case remains one of the most debated criminal cases in modern U.S. history, marked by conflicting interpretations of evidence, questions about investigative methods, and ongoing disagreement about guilt or innocence. While Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. were convicted in 1994, years of scrutiny have raised concerns about the reliability of key evidence, including Misskelley's confession and disputed forensic findings. The emergence of alternative suspects and new DNA testing further complicated the case, leading to their release in 2011 through Alford pleas while maintaining their innocence. Ultimately, the case highlights broader issues within the justice system, including the risks of wrongful conviction, the influence of public perception, and the importance of thorough, unbiased investigations. As we conclude this case in its entirety, I want to remind you of the victims who don't get a second chance and still need justice: Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers.

In the fourth episode of the West Memphis 3 series on "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison is joined once more by Jacob from the Rise to Liberty podcast for "NWJ768- Pt 4 of Who TF are the West Memphis 3? w/Jacob of Rise to Liberty". This part of the series turns its attention squarely to the physical evidence—or the conspicuous scarcity of it—in the 1993 murders of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. Jose and Jacob go through what was actually recovered from the crime scene and presented at trial, including binding materials, fibers, hairs, and other items that prosecutors tried to link to Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, and Jason Baldwin, while pointing out the forensic limitations and ambiguous results that left so much open to interpretation.Approaching the material with a skeptical but open-minded stance, the hosts weigh how thin the tangible connections really were between the suspects and the scene, questioning whether the lack of slam-dunk physical proof undermines the case entirely or if the available traces, combined with everything else covered so far, still point toward guilt more than exoneration. Without claiming absolute certainty, this episode pushes back against the idea that weak forensics automatically means innocence, instead encouraging listeners to judge the full body of evidence on its own terms. A pivotal listen in the ongoing series for anyone who wants to cut through the noise and grapple with the concrete (or missing) pieces in one of true crime's most polarizing cases.Please consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicNo Way, Jose!

#TruthAbout #TruthAndLies #WestMemphis3 #DamienEchols #NarrativeControl #Manipulation #Gaslighting #InternetHarassment #DigitalBullyingJoin me today as I dive deep into an accusation leveled against me, claiming I am “troubled” in my own life, so that causes me to lash out and become an “internet bully” that targets an allegedly innocent person who framed themselves as “just peacefully living their life.”Who is it that made this accusation? None other than Damien Echols, from the 1993 case colloquially known as the “West Memphis Three” case.So, could it be true? Am I simply picking on an innocent because he has a well-known name and I am troubled inside myself?Is there absolutely no other logical explanation for my actions? what exactly did I do? Was what I said, factually incorrect? Or defimation? Slander even?Or might it be possible that a master manipulator is once again attempting to control the narrative? I will leave this up to you so you can make up your own mind. All that I ask is that you join the show so you can discover my raw emotions behind my frustrations and how the harsh truth can strike a nerve with the faint hearted.RISE TO LIBERTY – LINKS:• Master Link: https://allmylinks.com/risetoliberty• RTL Merch Store: https://risetoliberty.store/• Substack - Beware The Mockingbird!: https://open.substack.com/pub/bewarethemockingbird• RTL's - Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/deprogram• RTL's - Ko-Fi Page:https://ko-fi.com/risetoliberty
In the third episode of the West Memphis 3 series on "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison teams up again with Jacob from the Rise to Liberty podcast for "NWJ757- Pt 3 of Who TF are the West Memphis 3? w/Jacob of Rise to Liberty". This installment shifts focus to the non-physical evidence that played a central role in the investigation and trials following the 1993 murders of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. Jose and Jacob unpack the collection of witness statements, community reports, suspect interviews, and other testimonies that surfaced, illustrating how these elements turned suspicion toward Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, and Jason Baldwin and helped form the backbone of the prosecution's case.Maintaining their skeptical lens, the hosts dig into the often inconsistent, secondhand, or hearsay-driven nature of these accounts—from local tips and overheard remarks to recollections from people tied to the events—and question how heavily they weighed in the convictions. Rather than accepting the common exoneration narrative without scrutiny, this episode pushes listeners to examine the intangible factors that shaped the outcome and why the case remains so divisive. Another compelling step in the series for true crime listeners who want to explore the less concrete but highly influential aspects of one of the most debated mysteries out there.Please consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicNo Way, Jose!

In this riveting continuation of the West Memphis 3 series on "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison reunites with Jacob from the Rise to Liberty podcast for "NWJ723- Pt 2 of Who TF are the West Memphis 3? w/Jacob of Rise to Liberty". Picking up from the introductory episode, the duo delves into the tangled web of confessions that defined the case, with a laser focus on Jessie Misskelley's multiple statements to authorities.

Perfect for true crime aficionados seeking an unflinching examination, Jose and Jacob dissect the evidentiary implications and cultural fallout, paving the way for future installments in the series.

In this episode of "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison joins forces with Jacob from the Rise to Liberty podcast to unpack one of the most polarizing true crime sagas: the West Memphis 3. Titled "NWJ713- Who TF are the West Memphis 3? w/Jacob of Rise to Liberty", the conversation dissects the brutal 1993 murders of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas, and the arrests of teenagers Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, and Jason Baldwin amid swirling rumors of occult involvement. While mainstream narratives often dismiss the era's satanic panic as mere hysteria, Jose and Jacob approach the case with healthy skepticism, questioning whether there might have been legitimate fire behind that smoke—exploring the key figures, dubious confessions, and investigative missteps that fueled both convictions and enduring doubts about the trio's innocence.Crafted as an entry-level overview for those new to the story, this episode primes listeners for a multi-part series on the West Memphis 3, challenging the dominant "wrongful conviction" storyline and probing deeper into the cultural and evidentiary elements that keep the debate alive. If you're unfamiliar or seeking a fresh perspective that doesn't blindly buy into exoneration hype, it's an ideal launchpad to grapple with the case's complexities and its ripple effects on perceptions of justice. Dive in, and for more unfiltered breakdowns, the second episode awaits behind the paywall with intensified scrutiny and insights.Please consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicNo Way, Jose!

In the late 80’s and early 90’s, the US found itself wrapped up in the “Satanic Panic” - a general state of fear revolving around Satanism and satanic ritual, real or imagined. On May 5th, 1993, in West Memphis, AR, three 8-year-old boys—Steven Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers—were reported missing. Their lifeless bodies were found the following day in a Robin Hood Hills creek, naked and hogtied. Christopher Byers had suffered lacerations, and his genitals had been mutilated. Details of the bizarre and brutal scene in Robin Hood Hills brought Satanic Panic to a fever pitch in the largely conservative Christian city of West Memphis. Coming off their first film success with Brother’s Keeper, documentarians Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky were tapped by HBO documentaries to head down to get the story. Joe Berlinger sits with Jason Flom and recalls his experience of the case, the moments that inspired his fight for criminal justice reform, and the films and events that have helped shape public opinion of wrongful convictions.
