Three men are sitting in prison for the murders of 3 8-year old boys. The problem is that they did not commit the crimes. They were accused of the crimes because of their looks. This is from the official website dedicated to freeing them: Although there was no physical evidence, murder weapon, motive, or connection to the victims, the prosecution pathetically resorted to presenting black hair and clothing, heavy metal t-shirts, and Stephen King novels as proof that the boys were sacrificed in a satanic cult ritual. Unfathomably, Echols was sentenced to death, Baldwin received life without parole, and Misskelley got life plus 40.
