MORE:
The Voices for Justice is a now historic concert that was originally recorded in Little Rock, AR on August 28, 2010, and was put together by the support group Arkansas Take Action to raise awareness for the West Memphis Three.
West Memphis Three is a now famous court case involving three teenagers who were jailed more than 16 years ago for a crime many believe they did not commit and are believed to have been wrongfully convicted so are trying to have their case re-heard in Arkansas courts.

Damien Echols (one of the West Memphis Three) has said that DNA testing years after their incarceration has shown a hair at the crime scene matched one of the boy's fathers.

Echols attorney wants a new trial based on that. His wife says it's just a matter of time before he's free.

"We can't lose. Everything we have is airtight, we're right," says Lorri Davis. "And when we put it before a judge he's going to be freed soon."

The state argues the DNA testing alone isn't enough to prove Echols' innocence.

One of the other two suspects confessed to the crime but attorneys argue it was coerced.

    I hadn't heard of this case before, but I hope that they finally get an actual fair trial and that the real guilty parties will be found.
