Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley - also known as the West Memphis Three -- were teenagers when they were wrongfully convicted in 1994 of the murders of three children in West Memphis Arkansas. As highlighted in the landmark HBO Documentary "Paradise Lost," the investigation of these murders and subsequent arrests and trials were tragically mishandled, and amounted to little more than a witch hunt. To date, not one piece of substantial evidence, physical or otherwise, has connected the three men to the crime.

Now, after spending 15 years in prison, new DNA and forensic evidence has proven the innocence of the West Memphis Three.

This 20-minute video explores the new evidence in the case and gives Damien Echols a chance to speak in his own defense. Compiled from new defense and expert testimony, an interview with Echols on Larry King Live, and footage from '"Paradise Lost," 'West Memphis Three: Time For Truth" explores the latest chapter in this harrowing miscarriage of American justice, and leaves you aching to get involved.

"This is the most powerful and comprehensive visual representation of this very complicated story that we have seen to date. We only wish we could condense the facts so effectively." - Dennis Riordan and Don Horgan, Lead Counsels for Damien Echols

Video Produced & Edited by Brian Quist

    Brian, thanks for the great video. I've been following this case (from Canada) since 1996 and getting anyone who will watch to watch Paradise Lost. Now there's something else to convince people to act. "Time for Truth" has been sent to everyone I've tried to convince.

    I've been following this story since HBO aired the first Paradise Lost and I have also read many books on this devastating subject.It sickens me to know that these three young men are still in jail for something they CLEARLY did not do! However- seeing videos like this and learning of all the support they've been given from all over the world- I have faith that they'll be free men soon! All 3 are in my prayers!
