Devil’s Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three Audiobook

" An absolutely amazing story about two awful crimes. The murder of three young boys and the witch hunt that occured after which lead to the conviction of three innoccent youths. WOW!!! "

" I read this book after reading "Life After Death" by Damien Echols, one of the teens convicted of murder in this case. The one sentenced to death. I knew enough about the case prior to reading Echols' book that I believed that the 3 had been wrongly convicted. I just kept thinking, though, that surely the cops, the prosecutor, the judge, the jury, had some reasonable foundation upon which they made made this horrible mistake. It couldn't have been based on absolutely no evidence at all. It just couldn't have happened because of bad cops, inept attorneys, and stupid juries. After reading this book, no doubt is left. That is exactly what happened. This book was well researched and well written. They must be exonerated. The person or persons who really committed this horrible crime must be brought to justice. "

" Outstanding and in-depth look at the cases of the West Memphis Three. My only 'complaint' is that because it is several years old, it ends without any information about the what has happened in the last few years. Very well researched and written. "

" If the three Paradise Lost films made you angry, this book will have you absolutely livid. The judge in this case (who is now a state Senator in AR) should be disbarred. A lot has happened since this book was published (the WM3 were released in an Alford plea)--would be great to have a sequel covering the legal machinations and backroom dealings involved in the plea. Also would be great if the state of AR and the West Memphis police had actually put some effort into solving the case--shoddy, shoddy, shoddy. Leveritt's extensive documentation makes for compelling testimony--a shame that the trials weren't as thorough. "

" This case still fascinates me, but I could never reread it because of the horror in its content. "

" Nicely detailed report of the West Memphis Three through the arrests and trials with copious footnotes that enhance the story. "

" A timeline of the events that led up to the wrongful incarceration of three teenage boys convicted of murder. One, sentenced to death. The other two, life in prison. Makes you realize that all it takes is a lazy defense team to make you guilty. "

" An interesting take on a real life story going on today in West Memphis. It's horrifying to realize that these three boys have been in prison for 10 years for something they probably didn't do. I was totally engrossed in this and immediately went online to find out the updates when I finished. "

" If you've seen the MTV documentaries, please get a copy of this book as well! So much information and insight! "

" Sad how three kids were wrongly convicted partly because of the music they listened to and crowd they hung out. "

" This book is amazing. If you're not familiar with the story of the 3 young boys who were (apparently)framed for the murder of 3 younger boys in Arkansas, this book will leave you in shock. "

" We are guilty until proven innocent. "

" Excellent writing! This author has put time and effort into her research about the crime and the aftermath. This is the definitive book on the West Memphis Three. Very good. Highly recommend it. "

" I love true crime and this one took place 60 miles from where I went to high school during my high school days. it's a great read and just a shame about our justice system and what it can do to you if you are poor. "

" This book takes a look at the justice system and how easily we can pin a crime on someone who fits the profile. The truth is not always what it seems. "

" Extremely disturbing with respect to the travesty of justice it describes. It will leave you angry. Definitely not wanting to make a trip to Arkansas, especially in a black t-shirt. "

" Really interesting and disturbing story of 3 teenagers accused of murder. It was written before the final outcome of the whole story, so I had to find out how it all ended online. Very good detail of the "evidence" against them. Sad to see this kind of thing still happening in the 1990s. "

" Before I read this book, I didn't know a thing about this case. This was an amazing and informative read about WM3!! The way this case was handled was an embarrassment on the part of the Arkansas state police! "

" Terrifying look at how flawed our justice system is. "

" The number of times I said, out loud, "un-fucking-believable" while reading this book was staggering. "
