“Free the West Memphis Three!” - maybe you’ve heard the phrase, but do you know why their story is so alarming? Do you know the facts? The guilty verdicts handed out to three Arkansas teens in a horrific capital murder case were popular in their home state - even upheld on appeal. But after two HBO documentaries called attention to the witch-hunt atmosphere at the trials, artists and other supporters raised concerns about the accompanying lack of evidence.

Where does Devil’s Knot rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Tops for this category. I don't generally compare across categories.
Who was your favorite character and why?
None; documentary.
What does Lorna Raver bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Inflection and tone.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Several actually. The brazen bias of the judge was absolutely contemptible.
Any additional comments?
I wish there had been a more current update following release of the "three."

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 67
In June 1950 Communist forces poured across the 38th Parallel (the arbitrary, militarily indefensible line of latitude separating the Communist North from the independent Republic of Korea) to unite the country by force. Three bloody, bitter years of fighting ensued during which the seesawing fortunes of this frustrating war thwarted North Korea's ambitions while treating the ill-equipped, overconfident UN peacekeeping forces, mostly Americans, no less harshly.
