Big surprise. The activists working for a new trial for the West Memphis Three say Judge David Burnett in Jonesboro has denied a request for a new trial in Damien Echols’ case and has declined to hold hearings on new DNA evidence dug up by the defense team (primarily an absence of DNA evidence implicating the three people convicted in the death, but DNA from others connected to the three dead children.)
Now it’s on to federal court.
