It happened at the Voices For Justice Rally, last Saturday, September 4th, to benefit the West Memphis 3.
If you don't know who the West Memphis 3 are, you're better off searching for information online, there's a wealth of it available, but, real quickly, it's these 3 teems who were convicted of the murder of three children over a decade ago - without any kind of evidence whatsoever apart from the fact that they were the only three in their small town who dressed in black and had Metallica t-shirts.
And the kids didn't have enough money to hire good enough lawyers, so they lost. One got Life, one got Life plus 40 years, and one got sentenced to death row. Way to go, Arkansas.
In 2007, DNA evidence was uncovered pitting one of the victims' stepfather at the scene of the crime - and none of the WM3.
