The West Memphis 3 are three men tried and convicted for triple homicide in 1993 for the murders of three children in the Robin Hood Hills in West Memphis, Arkansas in the United States.

Damien Echols, the alleged ringleader, was sentenced to death; Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin were sentenced to life in prison. The case has received considerable attention, and many critics charge that the arrests and convictions were a miscarriage of justice inspired by a misguided moral panic, and that the defendants were wrongfully convicted.


In a show of support for Echols, Misskelley, and Baldwin, Shepard Fairey created a print of Henry Rollins. This print was released in 2002, with all proceeds going to The WM3 Defense Fund. A CD, "Rise Above," and a t-shirt bearing the same slogan were also released. (Site Administrator notes: Please watch Paradise Lost, a superb documentary on the topic.)
