Three eight-year-old boys were murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas. Three teenagers — Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. — were convicted but released in 2011 via Alford pleas. Controversy remains about their guilt. DNA from the crime scene has not been matched to anyone and some evidence pointed to a parent of one of the victims.
