Episode 103 “Confession Suppression” Pt 2- -A Harvest of Innocence: The Untold Story of the West Memphis Three Murder Case by Dan Stidham and Tom McCarthy
Description
Part 2: Preparing for trial, against all odds, defense attorney Dan Stidham gathers world-class experts from a variety of fields, ready to prove his client, Jessie Misskelley, did not kill the 3 boys of West Memphis, wasn't at the crime scene, and his confession should be inadmissible according to the law. But judicial hijinks derail the Defense’s plans as the State repeatedly violates Jessie’s rights. Convicted, a bewildered teenage, Jessie tries to adjust to prison, as Dan vows to never quit until Jessie is out of prison.
Filing appeal after appeal, the court stacks the deck against the defense. Adapting to his new pariah status, Dan sees the tide begin to change when the film, Paradise Lost is released, exposing judicial malfeasance and a case that rests on sketchy evidence & flawed eyewitness testimony. Meanwhile, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin remain in prison, with Damien Echols on -death row-.
