  • In the Circuit Court of Crittenden County First Division
    IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF CRITTENDEN COUNTY FIRST DIVISION STATE OF ARKANSAS PLAINTIFF/RESPONDENT v. No. 18CR-93-516 DAMIEN ECHOLS DEFENDANT/PETITIONER MOTION FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF Having recently learned of the West Memphis Police Department’s (“WMPD”) spoliation of evidence in his case, apparently both before and after his Alford plea, Damien Echols moves this Court to exercise its continuing supervi- sory jurisdiction over this case to declare the violation of his rights by this miscon- duct and to enjoin its continuation pending the development of a full factual record upon which the Court can consider awarding appropriate relief to Echols for the damages it has caused him. As grounds for this motion, Echols asserts the follow- ing: Background 1. Echols was one of three teenagers tried and convicted of killing three young boys in the infamous West Memphis Three case. Echols was sentenced to death as a result of his murder convictions. Throughout the proceedings, Echols and his co-defendants Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, Jr. (collectively “the WM3”) maintained their innocence of the crimes. 1 2. Over the course of the eighteen years following the murders, and con- sistent with their claims of innocence, the WM3 pursued numerous factual and le- gal challenges to the convictions. In connection with one of those challenges, in November 2010, the Arkansas Supreme Court ordered the trial court to hold a hearing to consider whether newly analyzed DNA evidence might exonerate the WM3. Ultimately, the development of further evidence in anticipation of that hearing - including the results of additional new DNA testing of certain evidence - led the parties to negotiate an Alford plea resolution of the cases, enabling the WM3 to maintain their innocence while being immediately released from prison.

Starting with a searing examination of the police investigation into the 1993 murders of three, eight year old boys Christopher Byers, Steven Branch and Michael Moore in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, the film goes on to uncover new evidence surrounding the arrest and conviction of the other three victims of this shocking crime – Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley. All three were teenagers when they became the target of the police investigation; all three went on to lose 18 years of their lives - imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. How the documentary came to be, is in itself a key part of the story of Damien Echols’ fight to save his own life.

    EXHIBIT A (Part 6) EXHIBIT A-51 • West Memphis Three DNI --ilts Page 1 of2 ~.com~ mphis Teresa's Memphis Blog By Teresa R. Simpson, About.com West Memphis Three DNA Results Friday July 20, 2007 Fourteen years ago, three little boys were brutally murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas. Shortly thereafter, three teenage boys were convicted of the crime. The convicted boys are grown men now and are all in prison. One of them ison death row. Several weeks ago, however, a team of investigators assembled to study DNA evidence in the Wes.LI':1~mp-bj~,-3..case. Now, the results of that investigation are in. No DNA evidence was found that linked Jessie Misskelly, Damien Echols, or Jason Baldwin to the crime. Instead, hair belonging to the stepfather of Stevie Branch (one of the victims) was found amongst the evidence. Though it is unclear what effect this evidence will have on the status of the case, defense attorneys for the ~l\'-e.s.t.M~j~.3.~ that it will result in a new trial. Comments (1) Jason Ringwald says: July 20, 2007 at 5:58 pm Everybody who wasn't blinded by prejudice new that those guys didn't do it. They were convicted because they looked different from everyone else. Plus a lot of people always suspected the stepfather. (2) Laurel says: August 4,2007 at 8:18 am Yes, a lot of folks (including the folks who shot both Paradise Lost doccos) suspected Christopher Byers' stepfather of the crime, NOT Stevie Branch's (whose name, I think, is Terry Hobbs).

While autobiographical comics may seem like an odd crib sheet to use to learn about the human condition, their confessional style provides readers like me with the answers to the questions we dare not ask. I equate reading an autobiographical comic with the occurrence of a stranger handing you his diary, staring meaningfully into your eyes and saying, “I want you to read this… all of it. Oh, and just so you know, I drew pictures of everything that happened, too.” I first became interested in autobiographical comics and graphic novels after reading some of Jeffrey Brown’s comics in 2005. There was something about his loose, sketchbook-style illustrations that made his work accessible to a newly minted comics fan such as myself. There were no superpowers, no buxom women and no maniacal villains in his comics… just real stories. Right when I was on the brink of exhausting Brown’s catalogue, Peter Birkemoe, the co-owner of The Beguiling1, suggested that I expand my interests. When he rang up my latest purchase, he said, “If you like this stuff, you should try reading some John Porcellino.” I promptly swept up Porcellino’s King-Cat Classix: The Best of King-Cat Comics and Stories and I soon discovered other autobiographical cartoonists including Chester Brown, Joe Matt, Lucy Knisley and Harvey Pekar.
