Despite the fact that Misskelley was initially barred from associating with felons except for his immediate family, and Echols and Baldwin were prohibited from associating with felons except for each other, the three are now allowed to appear together for certain events. The West Memphis Three were allowed to change their original plea because new DNA evidence has surfaced. Many celebrities, including Johnny Depp and Eddie Vedder, have supported the defendants throughout the years. “I hadn’t seen daylight in almost a decade. I hadn’t been exposed to sunlight…for almost 10 years,” Echols told Piers Morgan on CNN. He had been on Death Row for 18 years. The saga of the men has been chronicled through the “Paradise Lost” series, anda feature film is reportedly in pre-production.
