Safe Mode: On
A Mother's Plea For Justice

On May 5th, 1993 Pam Hick's son and two of his friends were brutally murdered in what has became known as The West Memphis Three case. The three young boys were all 8 years old, three young men were wrongfully accused of the crime and were convicted in haste in what was believed to have been a Satanic ritual at the time. Two of the young men got life and one was sentenced to death by lethal injection. These men were recently released after 20 years on a rare plea deal allowing them to plead guilty, but maintain their innocence. Mainly because the state could not afford to be sued for wrongful convictions by the three defendants. The three men have joined in our efforts to get the case reopened and clear their names while giving some type of closure to these poor families of the victims. Parents like John Mark Byers and Pam Hicks (Hobbs) has did everything short of begging the state to reopen the investigation, but to no avail. As if matters couldn't get any worse Pam, who is the mother of one of the victims recently found her son's autopsy pictures on line for sale. When asked about it the state (Scott Ellington) said "I was asurred that no "physical" evidence has been compromised in this case, meaning the photos weren't considered physical evidence. Pam has asked repeatedly to be able to view the evidence to make sure it's safe, but has been denied every time. She was left with no choice, but to sue the state, John Mark Byers another parrent of one of the victims has now joined her in the lawsuit. Wherever you stand on the case I think we can all pretty much agree that these photos should not have fell in to the hands of someone this sick. The West Memphis Police Department and the state of Arkansas has failed these victims in what has gone on now for over 20 years..A few of us has started a new campaign for justice passing around pictures that briefly describes this injustice on Facebook. Please visit "WM3 Seeking Justice" on Facebook and join us in spreading awareness of this injustice and hopefully bring these people peace of mind.

  • I wonder if Pam spent this much effort trying to help clear Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley...

  • Humm. Read a fair bit about the case from Zippers link below.

    To me it looks like there wasn't enough evidence to convict. And also that the Police at the time did not have the skills or experience to handle the case.
    Was the Black guy in BoJangles to blame - i don't know.

    But it was a media driven results trial. I get the impression that the judges handling the case doubted the police evidence all the way. But a jury convicted.

  • She actually worked really hard for their release and John Mark Byers did as well. It might be different if this stuff for sale didn't come out of the evidence room at PD. They have no reason to deny her access, I've been several times myself. After PD screwed this all up it's a low blow to the parents and to the WM3. Jason wants to practice law yet he can't because they have this shit hanging over his head. Pam's daughter Amanda lived here with me, we dated awhile, but it was hard because I bel More..

  • Pam lives about a mile from here, Reese Witherspoon had been staying with her for something like two weeks to study her for a role. Devil's Knot is the movie we have pictures of them on the set over there, there's quiet a few big names in the film.
