I was really contemplating if law was a major I wanted to take in school and then I accidentally come across the first documentary on West Memphis 3 and today stumble across the 2nd, both aired on HBO. I became very curious and decided to look on the internet and see what had come of these three and was happy to hear that they had been released just 10 or so days ago. I was really shocked by the lack of evidence in the case and how wearing black or dressing in a gothic manner would cause these redneck people to think black equals satan. I myself dont believe in God and we all dress to express ourselves. I dont wear alot of black but I do have tattoos and peircings and love horror movies. These things dont mean that I worship a Satan that I dont even believe exists. This country is pathetic. To be honest, If I won the lottery I would move to a different country. But I am very glad that the three had supporters like Johnny Depp!
