Last night Larry King spoke with Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks about the wrongful convictions of the West Memphis ThreeDamien Echols, one of the three, is on death row in Arkansas.  Watch a clip of the show.

It is so great to see some attention being paid to this case, especially just days before the Arkansas Supreme Court is set to hold a hearing on Echols' case.

Last month, supporters sent Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe 4462 printed postcards and 4515 email-cards pleading for him to support a new trial for Damien Echols.

I'll be posting updates about Damien's case as new developments occur.

    Dear abolitionist friends,
    The 4th World Congress against death penalty has brought together more than
    1500 participants from the entire world to Geneva, Switzerland.

    struggle for the universal abolition of death penalty.
    I have the pleasure to announce you that the videos of the 4th Congress are at last
    on the search engine of YouTube :
