1. running a background piece first.

2. Please update for us cube rats

[AlCzervik]

3. Echols looks totally different, he just turned 33.

[AlCzervik]

4. Echols saying many of the original wounds on the victims are now thought to

be post mortem and inflicted by animals and not knives.

[AlCzervik]

5. showing a montage from the 2 docs.

[AlCzervik]

6. Showing a clip of the prosecutor "He's not an all american boy"

[AnnieBW]

7. Yess!

Get lots of media coverage for the WM3!!!

[skipos]

8. Damien is much more intelligent and articulate now

He was definitely a kid when he was imprisoned, and he is definitely an adult now.

[AlCzervik]

9. yes especially in discussing the confession and what the police may done to get

it.

[AlCzervik]

10. holy shit, that new evidence was collected at the time and no one bothered to test it.

it's just been sitting around for 14 years, i'm amazed someone didn't destroy it.

[AlCzervik]

11. Larry King doesn't know much about the subject based on his questions about the doc but

i'm really glad he did this show. Good Job Larry.

[skipos]

12. I don't watch him much, but that seems to be his style

He always asks pretty basic questions and lets the answer do his/her thing. It's one of the reasons Bill Maher is so good on his show. It's all about the answers, not the questions.

14. Larry King proves nightly that there are, in fact, such things as stupid questions.

But, I give him lots of credit for doing this story.

[AlCzervik]

16. i cannot believe no one else is covering this thing, how many fing times a week is Night line on?

or 20/20, or even 60 minutes? Good on Cnn, thats probably the last time i'll ever say that but i mean it.

[skipos]

13. I didn't know some of the murder's parents now think the WM3 are innocent

That is pretty telling.

[AlCzervik]

15. Byers (shock!) and Pam Hobb. I won't lie, i thought Byers was the perp.

his wife dying, him having his teeth removed and so on.

[skipos]

18. Agreed, he was nutty as hell.

But I can't imagine he would be calling for the WM3's release if *he* was the guilty one.

[AlCzervik]

20. agreed, i think maybe Byers has just had a really unfortunate life.

and quite frankly he doesn't seem like he'd be smart enough not to leave some dna behind.

[AlCzervik]

17. well thats it, well worth watching the replay, so now the dna evidence works it's

was through the state court system, stay tuned.

[lonestarnot]

19. Meantime supermax.

[Chovexani]

21. Thanks so much

Will definitely catch this when I get home.

Hopefully this will lead to some more media attention.

[AlCzervik]

22. sorry i wasn't more detailed but i don't type fast enough to keep up.

but it was very good and you'll be surprised i think when you see Echols on camera, he looks nothing like he used to.
