Free The West Memphis Three

Finally some real news. Judge William R. Wilson Jr., the judge who sent Echol's appeal back to Arkansas State court has recused himself. A second article provides some details of Jason Baldwin's appeal based on the argument that his lawyer represented him poorly during the original trial. The quoted text seems like Paul Ford, Baldwin's original defense lawyer, is cooperating in a genuine attempt to get an innocent man out of prison, and is doing so without hubris.

I'm glad that the original defense lawyers are doing the right thing now. That in itself says a lot.
