I’m reading about the "West Memphis 3." 3 guys convicted of murdering 3 8-year old Boy Scouts in 1994. Two got life in prison and one is on death row. The one on death row had an interview with CNN because he’s trying to get the Arkansas legal system to give him a retrial since there’s new DNA technology that could prove he’s innocent. Hopefully they will give him that because if he wants one, he must think he’s innocent and I’d hate to be the one saying no to him only to find out after he’s dead that he was innocent. There’s no harm in trying except time and money but saving a life outweighs both of those. Anyway, I’m not familiar with the murders cause the article doesn’t give much detail about it; more about the inmate. He got married in 1999 to someone who learned of his story and met him. He said she sees him weekly and calls when he can and that they drink water at the same time each day because it’s something they can both be doing at the same time so that it’s almost like they’re together. That’s really sad to me. The littlest things can bring joy to people.
