Appeal for West Memphis Three - Please Donate!

HelloHenry.com is taking time out from our usual wacky Henry Rollins blogs today to pass on an urgent appeal from the West Memphis Three for their defense campaign. The campaign has reached a very critical moment. On October 29 Damien’s defense attorney’s filed a Second Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, requesting a new trial for Damien, or to release him. The writ includes compelling new evidence about the case.

DNA testing has found no evidence to link Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley or Jason Baldwin to the crime scene. Further expert reports and analysis show the prosecution’s case against Damien in the 1993 trial to be seriously flawed. For example, the wounds on the boys claimed by the prosecution to be inflicted by a knife, are shown to be caused by animals post mortem. The information compiled by Damien’s defense team is so compelling that some parents of the victims (including Pam Hobbs) have now come forward to offer their support to Damien, Jessie and Jason.

If you’ve ever considered donating to the WM3, now is the time to show your support. The makers of HelloHenry.com have donated $50USD. We hope you’ll consider matching (or if possible) surpassing our donation. Click here to read the letter from Lorri Davis and find out how you can donate. Please feel free to leave a comment to this entry if you donate, every bit helps!

    Help the West Memphis Three - Crucial time
    SKA for the West Memphis Three

    Hi, Folks,

    If you have not yet signed up for Skeleton Key Auctions you will want to do so now. Soon there will be new items listed. There will be MANY folks activating accounts and it may take time for me to activate all accounts. Now is a good time. Please take time to do this now. Even if you don’t see anything currently you’d bid on. You are going to want to be a part of the upcoming auctions.

    If you are unaware Skeleton Key Auctions (www.skeletonkeyauctions.com) is put together to raise funds for the WM3 defense fund.

    With the holidays quickly approaching us you may find something cool for gifts and at the same time be helping out with the defense fund.

    Other ways to help the defense fund:

    http://www.skeletonkeyart.com - at lower right hand side there is an Amazon.com portal. A portion of your purchase is sent to the same account as Skeleton Key Auctions and distributed for the WM3 defense fund.

    http://wm3.org/live/howtohelp/index.php

    Again take time to now register/sign up for Skeleton Key Auctions. You won’t want to miss the upcoming auctions. One of the auctions in particular is bound to gain some International/National publicity. Please feel free to pass this information along. Thanks!

    If you know anyone that might be interested in donating items for the cause, please have them contact (velaentertainment@yahoo.com). We recently had to change servers because of the high traffic to the site. The upcoming auction will triple if not send our registration through the roof.

    FREE THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE!!!
