If you've seen Alkaline Trio play, or are even just a fan of the band, odds are you've read the phrase "FREE THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE" at least one time in your life. The West Memphis Three were convicted of killing three Cub Scouts back in 1993, despite a lack of evidence, motive, or connection to the victims. With one of the men given the death sentence and the other two life sentences (and Misskelley an additional 40 years), there seemed to be little hope for freedom. A few years ago, however, there was a major break in the case, when DNA test results proved that the men were not involved in the murder, but the step-father of one of the victims was a match. With countless hearings, the public coming together to help, and the truth finally being exposed, there was finally hope for the West Memphis Three. Though injustice remained a common theme throughout the case, today we can finally say that the men we have known as the West Memphis Three for the past eighteen years are now free. 

Earlier today, the Free The West Memphis Three Support Fund updated their web site with this message:

"This morning, in a courtoom in Jonesboro, Arkansas, all parties involved in the ongoing legal cases of the West Memphis Three have agreed to a plea agreement, which has resulted in the immediate release of all three men.

We will post more details here as we compile them. For more immediate information, please visit the splash page on WM3.org, for a running list of articles posted by various major news outlets pertaining to this ground-breaking event.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who has supported the West Memphis Three over these past 18 years!

More to follow, very soon."
