Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Threeの英語

Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three is a 2002 True Crime book by Mara Leveritt about the 1993 murders of three eight year old children and the subsequent trials of three teenagers charged with and convicted of the crimes. The names of the three teens convicted are: Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley. They, however, would come to be known as the West Memphis Three. Leveritt's book revolves around the central idea that the three teenagers convictions were a result of "Satanic Panic" rather than actual evidence. The book also focuses on one of the victim's stepfathers and his possible connection with the murders. Currently, all three teenagers convicted are still incarcerated, but all are in various stages of appealing their convictions.
