Instead of appearing on “The Late Show with David Letterman” or “The Today Show” to promote his new movie, “Alice in Wonderland”, Johnny Depp is only making one TV appearance thsi week, and its on “48 Hours Mystery”.
That’s right, Depp is lending his star power to three men who were convicted of killing three kids more than 15 years ago. On Saturday’s episode of “48 Hours Mystery” he defends the men, saying, “Every single piece of evidence points to their innocence, not to their guilt.”
The men in question are Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, who were convicted of the murder of three eight-year-old boys who were found naked and drowned in a creek in West Memphis, Arkansas. According to “48 Hours”, Echols and Baldwin were already linked to the murders when then-17-year-old Misskelley, who was mentally handicapped, confessed to that he had helped the two in killing the three boys. But now, DNA evidence points away from the young men.
