Johnny Depp is pretty evil himself.
2010 / 2011 - DEPP HELPS FREE "THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE"
On May 5, 1993, three 8-year-old boys (Steve Branch, Michael Moore & Christopher Byers) who had last been seen riding their bikes together were reported missing in West Memphis, Arkansas. A search eventually discovered the bodies of three boys in a ditch near a creek. They had been stripped naked and hog-tied with their own shoelaces. The boys had been severely beaten and trace amounts of sperm DNA was found on one of the boy's pants. Byers' scrotum and penis were mutilated with a knife.
Three trouble-making teenagers -- already known to police -- who also dabbled in Satanism were eventually arrested and later convicted of the monstrous deeds. Damien Echols -- the leader -- was sentenced to death, Jessie Misskelley Jr. to life imprisonment, and Jason Baldwin also to life. During the trial, the prosecution asserted that the three (one of whom, Baldwin, actually confessed) had tortured and murdered the little boys as part of a Satanic ritual. Echols, the ringleader, did the sodomizing and gential cutting.
A decade or so later, HBO took up the cause of the "falsely accused" by airing "Paradise Lost" -- a propaganda crockumentary suggesting that the confession was coerced and that forensic evidence was suspect. A "cause celebre" to free "The West Memphis Three" grew out of the invented "controversy." The interlopers held fundraisers to support efforts to free the twice-convicted Satanists -- the most well known "do-gooder" being Johnny Depp.
In a 2010 interview, Depp proclaimed the innocence of the three with absolute certainty: “There's nothing from the crime scene that links Damien or Jason or Jessie to these crimes.”
That same year, Depp was a leading figure behind the "Voices for Justice" rally for the West Memphis Three. The celebrity pressure combined with a higher hidden hand (elite Satanists, perhaps?) enabled the three to be set free in 2011 after taking an
Alford Plea --- which is a weird gimmick guilty plea whereby the defendant asserts innocence, while acknowledging that there was enough evidence to convict. The locals were shocked.
Echols considers Depp to be "a brother." Said the liberated monster of Demon Depp: "He's been with us every single step of the way. Since we've gotten out, he's become like a brother to me."
