In this two part reissue series we had the privilege to sit down with West Memphis 3 member Jason Baldwin. At the age of 16, Jason and two other young boys were convicted of the triple homicide of three 8 year old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. After spending almost 19 years in prison their innocence was finally recognized and they were all released on an Alford plea deal in 2011. With the case still being unsolved and the three still seeking full exonerations we get a real world view of how justice is bent to ensure convictions over truths. In addition to discussing the West Memphis 3 case we also talk about Jason's new non-profit Proclaim Justice and how he's working day and night to help exonerate the wrongfully convicted.
