The West Memphis Three have been free for 10 months, and already Mr. Baldwin is working to help correct the flaws within the system that were responsible for his wrongful conviction, Mr. Echols' and Mr. Misskelley's. And not just to rectify what happened to them, but to educate the general public on the urgency of their attention to the depth of reform needed.
Jason
Baldwin will be in Spokane, Washington as the special guest speaker at an event
named:
Honor Life: Abolish
the Death Penalty.
He will tell his powerful story of three innocent men (teens when convicted) who lost 18 years of their lives serving life sentences and Mr. Echols on Death Row, because of issues within the system such as prosecution immunity, hearsay laws, the rulings by the presiding judge, snitch testimony, coersion by law enforcement, and vilification of defendants.
