In 2026 I’ll be doing the longest retreat I’ve ever held so far, at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. “Way of the Sword: Cutting Through Illusion” is an invitation to step beyond theory and into embodied presence. For a few days at the Omega Institute…one of the most

The Arkansas Supreme Court has ruled in our favor - further D.N.A. testing is to be allowed. Hopefully this will allow us to solve this case once and for all. Thank you to everyone who has supported us for the past 31 years. I’ll keep you posted as things move forward.

The state of Arkansas has asked that my petition for DNA testing to be done be dismissed. They do NOT want DNA testing done. They are fighting very, very hard to prevent the world from seeing who carried out the murders of those three children. Why?

Today is our 13th anniversary - I walked off of death row 13 years ago today. It would not have happened without your support. Thank you. If all goes well, DNA testing on all evidence should begin happening next month. We should know all results by the end of the year.

A piece of my childhood is gone today. It’s hard to imagine a world without this man in it.

A local Arkansas judge refused to do DNA testing, which could prove who murdered Chris Byers, Stevie Branch, and Michael Moore. We have now appealed this to the Arkansas Supreme Court. You can read our appeal here: westmemphis3.org/wp-content/upl…

These boys and their families will hopefully see justice very soon. 32 years is long enough.

Replying to @damienechols
I believe the person who carried out these murders worked with/for the West Memphis police department. This is why they fight so hard to keep it covered up.

I walked off of death row 12 years ago yesterday. I spent the day at a martial arts competition in Louisiana where I managed to win 4th place in the traditional forms category.

Hey, folks - we’re going to be putting together a fundraiser to raise money to cover the new DNA testing - which could potentially be started within the next month. I’ll keep you posted and send out the link when it’s live. We appreciate your help in bringing this to a close.
