This is the true story about 3 boys that spend 18 years in prison for a crime they supposedly didn't do because now they have been released. Only one of the boys was put on death row because he was over 18. 3 little boys, sweet souls, were bound, one was castrated and they were murdered in 1993. It was a small town so because those 3 jailed boys stood out as being in a satanic cult they are made the scapegoat. A documentary was released in 1996 about this and it got them Hollywood support from Johnny Depp, Marilyn Manson, Eddie Veter. Since technology advantaged they did DNA testing in the late 90s and one of the murdered boys stepfather's hair was found at the scene. He's not been convicted though because of alibi but many people believe he did it including the boys who were jailed. Sigh amongst this publicity seems people forgot who really matter- the murdered boys. I hope they see justice, one of the mums is still fighting for it

I never heard that story though? I must look it up later. This is a good reason why the death penalty is wrong though, one innocent life is too much to risk imo
