West Memphis Three

Three teenagers — Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley — were convicted in 1994 for the 1993 murders of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas, largely on the basis of a coerced confession and moral panic about Satanism. They were released in 2011 after entering Alford pleas.
