Justice Delayed

Thanks to JMS for the following article related to a documentary film we saw 11 years ago titled “Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills.”

Co-directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, the film—which began as pro-prosecution, and became pro-defense—follows the brutal killings of three Arkansas boys in 1993, and three teens convicted of the crime despite zero physical evidence placing them at the scene, and a questionable confession.

Nevertheless, the article in question describes new efforts (namely DNA evidence) to finally clear the defendants of the original crime. But as the Duke rape case showed, most prosecutors and law enforcement loathe certain details (like facts) when ethical conduct and bad police work are involved.
