Devil's Knot
Mara Leverittwhen Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley were released
after eighteen years in prison. Award-winning journalist Mara Leveritt's
The Devil's Knot remains the most comprehensive, insightful
reporting ever done on the investigation, trials, and convictions of
three teenage boys who became known as the West Memphis Three.
For weeks in 1993, after the murders of three eight-year-old boys, police
in West Memphis, Arkansas seemed stymied. Then suddenly, detectives
charged three teenagers, alleged members of a satanic cult, with the
killings. Despite the witch-hunt atmosphere of the trials, and a case
which included stunning investigative blunders, a confession riddled
with errors, and an absence of physical evidence linking any of the
accused to the crime, the teenagers were convicted. Jurors sentenced
Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley to life in prison and Damien Echols,
the accused ringleader, to death. The guilty verdicts were popular in
their home state, even upheld on appeal, and all three remained in
prison until their unprecedented release in August 2011.
With close-up views of its key participants, this award-winning account
unravels the many tangled knots of this endlessly shocking case, one
which will shape the American legal landscape for years to come.
