Dear_____________
I believe a great injustice has been committed in the cases of Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. The evidence against them was entirely circumstantial. The prosecutions' cases revolved around a highly questionable confession (since recanted) and an extraordinary degree of insinuation. Evidence that emerged during the trial and the Echols' subsequent Rule 37 Hearing (bite mark evidence) demanded further investigation in at least two directions radically different from that followed by the police and prosecution. These directions remain ignored.
Under these extraordinary circumstances I urge you to exercise clemency and press for a reexamination of the case. It is sad to think that an injustice of this nature can be allowed in the United States.
