In Jonesboro, Arkansas, three men convicted in the disturbing murders of three Cub Scouts were released nearly two decades after their imprisonment. The case, marked by suspicions of a Satanic ritual, saw doubts about the evidence persist over the years, prompting a potential retrial in 2012. The trio, known as the West Memphis Three, chose to plead guilty to murder in exchange for their release, ending a prolonged legal battle. The release marks the end of a harrowing chapter for the men, who spent half their lives behind bars.
