However, he had mental health issues. There is something called exhibit 500 which has documents about his mental health. Some of the things on there are pretty creepy. But the way Damien explains his demeanour now, about then, is that he had faith in the justice system and that there was no way they would have been found guilty if they didn't do anything. He did have grandieuse complex then. His west memphis boogeyman comment is creepy but if he really was guilty he wouldn't have said that while professing his innocence at the same time.
Jason and Damien seemed pretty sure of themselves at the beginning, like you said when they were laughing at the cops coming to their house, but as the trial went on you can tell it was starting to sink in that they might actually go down for this. Especially Jason, he was so drained. Did you see the way he shook his head when that guy lied under oath that Jason had confessed to him? He was lying. He had heard tales from other sources.
Jessy's confessions-He's saying he was coerced. They spend a longer time talking before they actually started recording so knowing how cops work, maybe he was telling them something else, they weren't happy but only began recording when he told them what they wanted to hear.
Have you looked into Terry Hobbs? They found his DNA on a shoelace tied on the boys.
A little boy called Aaron said he saw 5 men in the woods. 4 having sex, 1 black man (possibly Mr Bojangles) and that the other three boys stumbled on them that's why they were killed. Years later, not too long ago a convicted rapist said one of the men confessed that there was a sex ring in the woods and they killed the boys. He managed to escape.
The necklace they supposedly claim is Damien's looks different than what Damien actually wore.
I was wondering what happened to Damien's son. Apparently the mother and son moved away because she didn't want to be in the spotlight or expose her son to this. She remarried and has girls. Some say Damien still sees his son some say he doesn't. The mother always said if she thought he was the tiny bit guilty he would never see his son again.
Matching tattoos with Johnny Depp. The other day Dave Navaro tweeted him
''Damien Echols fooled you all'' but the comments are more interesting.

The thing about Aarons statement though is if that 5 men/sex ring thing is true he would have known that Terry was Stevies step dad and would have been able to tell them that, wouldn't he? Aaron isn't a very reliable witness I think, I reckon that whole thing was made up. I doubt those men would have allowed him to get away and then go on to murder the remaining boys with a witness on the loose
