Chapter 2: What is the timeline status in the West Memphis Three case?
And we are the Prosecutors. today on the prosecutors we finish up the timeline in the west memphis three case Hello everybody and welcome to this episode of The Prosecutors. I'm Brett and I'm joined as always by my savage co-host...
Hey, Brett, way to go. Anyone who hasn't been listening to us chit chat for the last 10 minutes, which you haven't, if we have a great editor who we do. Yep. But I was telling a cute story about my son's gang of boys and they call themselves Savage. And how cute. And this is relevant because he's the same age as our sweet boys who were the victims in this case.
Well, since you bring that up, I mean, this is an aside to talk about later. You know, one of the things the boys would say is that they had a clubhouse or hang out in the woods. And some people really focus on that because there is no clubhouse in the woods as if they mean a literal clubhouse. When once again, you're dealing with eight year olds, very imaginative.
My kids have clubhouses and boats and pirate ships and all sorts of stuff all over the house. There are no pirate ships in my house.
Two bushes in our backyard is called the magic forest. Just two bushes.
There you go. So sometimes, I mean, we're digging into this case about as deep as you can, but sometimes I think people forget that we are still dealing with children. So sometimes it's not going to make sense.
And I was going to say, not only are we dealing with children, like across the board, those who are convicted, older children, of course, but teenagers, the victims who are really children at eight years old, but then so many of the witnesses are also children, classmates of the victims, you know, and not that they don't speak the truth, but there's just different ways of perceiving the world when you're eight, nine, 10, even 18 versus when you're 40, 50, 60.
And this case is obviously different from a lot in that it's gotten so much attention, but I think it's also interesting and probably sort of a microcosm of how crime affects people. I mean, this is the people who we're talking about Like Alice said, their classmates, friends of the victims, people who knew the convicted. This case has in many ways dominated their lives.
I mean, for the rest of their lives, they get asked about this case, they think about this case. I mean, this thing that happened to them, this traumatic event, is something that's never let go. And for some, in a very serious way, I mean, there are people who've been dealing with trauma from this case. Who weren't even, you know, necessarily directly involved, but they became involved.
