If you have ever seen the documentaries Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost 2 you will know who I am talking about.

Basically, those movies document the arrest and trial of three teenage boys who were charged with the murder of two younger boys in a small town South Carolina in 1993. They were basically the only three kids in town that wore black and listened to Metallica and were considered devil worshipers. One of them is about 2 IQ points above being legally retarded. He made a statement that implicated the three of them as the killers. The trial was a joke, they were convicted and all the appeals were denied even though they were packed with evidence that these guys didn't do it and that someone else did. The problem was the same judge that did the trial oversaw the appeals and he didn't want to look bad so he denied everything.

After 18 years it looks like they are being set free. There are stories saying that all three have been removed from their cells and are meeting with a judge in the morning before a hearing is to take place. Reports are they took all their belongings with them and won't be coming back.

Here is the story.

I've been following the story ever since seeing the movies and I am convinced these three are innocent. luckily for them even after 18 years in prison they are still pretty young and potentially have a lot of life left to live.
