      <![CDATA[I just watched the latest documentary on HBO. I thought OMG this could be in any small town in WV. Having been involved in a couple of close family court cases in WV, anyone that does think this could happen, has never experienced life in a small rural town in the south. My mother almost went to jail due to a psychotic breakdown. The reason that she did not was due to my grandparents, a hard working farm couple who had saved their whole life after my grandfather survived WWII and Bastogne. They were able to pay for the psychiatrist to come from Washington DC and to hire a high profile attorney from a larger neighboring town. Yes, money/the almighty dollar is what kept her from going to jail for possibly the rest of her life who was up against a bias and sexist judge.  Now I am enduring the loss of my spouse of 27 yrs due to a heroine addict/DUI. The reason the culprit is in jail is likely due to the fact that my daughter had worked for a local congresswoman which led to political ties. Yes ladies and gentlemen this is a couple of examples of how the justice system really works and this is just from my small town life experiences in WV. When I read that Lorri was from WV, I was not surprised. We are a special breed of those who are strong and possess native intelligence unlike no others. I am so touched and moved by Lorri's and Damien's story, I wish them peace, happiness and all the joys of life that they so deserve. What an incredible story.....<br>

      <![CDATA[Hey Jessica look at the facts since you know so much...the jury Foreman discussed the case to other<br>
Jurors telling them rumors he heard and there's evidence how they gave them very  little deliberation<br>
Time. The prosecutors had no leads except Jessie who they questioned for twelve hours untill they had him say exactly what they wanted..now with DNA evidence nothing links them to the case...the police didn't.even question the other two kids neighbors which.could have turned the case in a different direction..you need to study.the facts you sound pretty dumb how in the hell do you know.what he did in his cell..everyone has there own opinion, but yours isn't an opinion you.state you know.what he did.I his cell, so for nearly eighteen yrs since.childhood you woke every morning.knowing.what he ate I can go on for days its people like you that put innocent people I jail!

Were you sitting next to him?? Did you discuss it with him?? Because you think that Jason, Jessie and Damien are "weirdos" they must be guilty?? Well, you must be ignorant, and "I KNOW FOR FACT" that is true!!

      <![CDATA[sorry, but i think the bastards did it, and if they did, then it will come out sooner or later. in order for them to have gotten convicted there had to have been more than just a few jurors who were spooked by the graphics of the case. There had to be something that caused all three of these guys to be convicted. Besides, I know for fact that when Damien echols was in the VArner Super Max unit that he worshipped the devil in his cell. I mean come on. Of course he changed his image before he got out, his attorney obviously were smart enough to realize that he needed a better physical appearance before they could even begin to try and convince people that these weirdos were innoncent.

      <![CDATA[You and Damien are beautiful people.  I'm ashamed of the closed minded jurors and prosecutors that tarnish the reputation of Arkansans.  I'd love to meet you two, and I brag about your success to my friends and patients.  As a family doctor and consultant to a child psychiatric inpatient facility, I'm blown away by Damien's<br>
 physical and mental endurance.  Astonishing, really.  You too, Lorri!  Incredible!  Had no idea you were weaving you magic here in Little Rock for so many years.  Congrats to you two, and thank you for sharing!!  I Just read a very nice article in people and feel so excited about the sensations and experiences freedom is allowing the two of you.  It's beautiful to hear how he has become a master of sublimation.  He transforms the negative energy into positive and really sees how dwelling on the tragedy is not helpful and could overshadow his ability to enjoy his new existence outside, and with you.  Amazing!  What a Stud!  You two deserve all the health and happiness possible!<br>

      <![CDATA[I've been following this case for years, starting with the films. I totally related to Damian b/c I'm the same age and hung around with a group of small town rebels who wore black, listened to Metallica, and expressed themselves a bit differently then the norm. Almost all were the sweetest, most thoughtful and sensitive people. My mom might have been afraid of em at first, but after even just one dinner she remembered that its as simple as not judging a book by its cover. I think its crystal clear that these men were done a horrible injustice and I am so very happy that they all have their freedom now. I only pray that the fight for justice for the 3 murdered boys is never forgotten as well, and that the person responsible is held accountable.

      <![CDATA[Like Lorri Davis, I saw the first documentary. . and I always felt that DAMIEN WAS INNOCENT!! I could feel it in my heart, I would never be an ignorant one who would copy or go along with a crowd. I sensed Damien's actions and body language as a kind kid hurt by the accusations.. He was just a kid and his family was good. As far as wearing black.  .all the kids were wearing black and the girls were wearing black nail polish. . that was the style and fashion !!!!!!!!! What kind of ignorance is in Arkansas. I believe in the Lord and I believed in Damiens innocence; the Lord told me so. He reminded me of Joseph in the bible falsely accused and Jesus himself. They should be ashamed as a human race, the dehumanizing they did to Damien. Someday they will be punished for what they did and all the insensitive people that went along with.. . Damien was an innocent, sheltered and humble and non agressive kid .  SHAME ON YOU ALL

<br>
What a great article and insight into your and Damian's relationship. Thank you for sharing your personal story with us. All these years I've felt there were 6 who lost their lives, a rush to judgement and rush to convict 3 scared young men. I'm praying justice will finally be served and prayers for your life together. <br>
Congratulations on all your hard work!<br>

      <![CDATA[I don't know if I believe it. I'll admit, before I read this, I had already made my mind up that they were guilty. Now that I've read it, I don't know. I feel like they did, but if there isn't any evidence then how did they get convicted in the first place? and if they didn't do it, who did? BUT if they did do it, they all deserve to die, and I hope when judgment day comes, that God himself will make the ultimate decision. There is no reason for ANY eight year old child, or three at that, to suffer the way those children suffered.     -Holly, 20, Idaho
