West Memphis 3 Cold Case Homicide w/Bob Ruff Part 3 - How The Justice System Ramrodded Three Teens

Episode 3 - Our justice system has become a conveyor line of cases moving through, many without trials and only plea deals, and as many as 10% of the people currently serving in prison may actually be innocent but faced a much longer sentence so took a deal.

Don't have the financial resources to hire a decent lawyer? You may very well end up in that situation.

The West Memphis 3 is a tragic case in so many ways it's almost difficult to describe, because there are actually two sets of three victims, and then the trauma associated with the victim's families and the community continues to this day. The murders happened in 1993 in West Memphis, Arkansas. The first set of victims are three little 8 yr old boys who were murdered, stripped of their clothing, tied up with their own shoelaces, and buried beneath the surface of a creek near their neighborhood. Their clothes were also forced under the surface with sticks and tree branches to hide the crime. The second set of three were three teenage young men who were convicted of killing the boys, allegedly committing some form of satanic ritual on them in killing them and hiding their bodies. They served 18 years before they were released but to this day they have not been exonerated and are still considered murderers. We discuss this case w investigator Bob Ruff for a number of reasons. He has a different perspective, he's done extensive research on the case, and he has done a full documentary on the case w Oxygen TV. Bob is also working with the defense to get more evidence tested, possibly with the M-Vac system, in order to collect any possible DNA material from different pieces of evidence.

All Things Crime is a new, comprehensive video series that will explore every aspect of crime and the ensuing investigation, one video interview at a time. The host, Jared Bradley, is the President of M-Vac Systems, which is a wet-vacuum-based forensic DNA collection system and has experience traveling the world training all levels of law enforcement and crime lab DNA analysts in using the M-Vac to help solve the crime. Along the way he has met people from all walks of life and experience in investigating crimes, so is putting that knowledge to use in another way by sharing it in these videos.
