West Memphis 3 freed. Heartbreaking on so many levels.

I would hope that some of the celebrities who were kind enough to pay for the legal assistance for the three might help to get their stories sold in Hollywood and/or in books so they can live comfortably the rest of their lives.

It's chilling that one of them could have been put to death for a crime they didn't commit, but it's also heartening to find that the justice system can eventually work for the wrongfully convicted, even if it takes 20 years to do it. My only hope is that somehow, someday, the real murderer/s face some justice themselves.

The scary part is that without the celebrity involvement no one would have ever known and this outcome probably wouldn't have happened. That my friends is what's really scary about the scenario. Had the famous not drew the attention those outside of the immediate community would have by now long forgotten the case.

If I was unjustly locked up for the amount of time they were.....

I would come out of there absolutely hellbent on revenge against every single one of those primitive, simple minded people who were responsible.
