In 2011, one of the greatest
miscarriages of justice in American legal history was set right when
Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley were released after
eighteen years in prison. Award-winning journalist Mara Leveritt’s The
Devil’s Knot remains the most comprehensive, insightful reporting ever
done on the investigation, trials, and convictions of three teenage boys
who became known as the West Memphis Three.
