A Letter From Lorri Davis - West Memphis Three

Dear Friends & Supporters:
We are finally at the point we've been working toward for many years. The cases of Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley are being and heard reviewed in the Arkansas court system.

We wouldn't be here without your help. I know it's taken a long, long time, and we've been asking for your support all along the way, but I'm asking that you see it through. We're so close, and we now know exactly what we need to do. We need to present these cases in the courts as thoroughly and professionally as possible. We have the evidence, we have the expertise and the best lawyers in the country, but we need funds to enable them to put on the best defense possible.

Jason & Jessie are appearing back in court mid November, and Damien's case is being filed in the Arkansas Supreme Court this month.

Please help. We need you now more than ever – it's Damien, Jason and Jessie's most important filing and appearance in the Arkansas courts. If you ever wanted to help, the time is NOW. We are truly in the home stretch. Anything you can donate will be put to the best use for these three innocent men.

Send checks or money orders to:

Or donate through Paypal using Ldavis11@hotmail.com as the recipient.

With many thanks,
Lorri Davis
