Synopsis

Documentary. In 1994, in West Memphis, Arkansas, three teenagers were accused of enacting satanic rituals and subsequently convicted of murdering three eight-year-old boys. Their confessions were inconsistent and the legitimacy of prosecution witnesses was questioned. However, for 18 years the judge who presided over the initial court case denied successive retrial bids.
