All rights reserved CNN NEWS June 4,1993 Transcript # 410 - 2 HEADLINE: Three Teenage Boys Arrested in Grisly Murder Case HIGHLIGHT: A small, southern town is reeling in the wake ofthe murder ofthree small boys a month ago. Most thought the murders was the work ofa drifter, but three teenage boys from the community have been arrested. BODY: SUSAN ROOK, Anchor: First, the Arkansas town was filled with fear from the bodies [sic] ofthree 8-year-old boys were discovered. Now the town is stunned after three teenagers are charged with their murders. CNN's Mark Carter reports. MARK CARTER, Correspondent: Faces from an angry, curious community came to see the teenagers who stand accused ofa crime that makes no sense- the beating deaths ofthree young boys. Seventeen-year-old Jesse Lloyd Miskelley, a high-school drop-out, now faces trial with life in prison, or death, ifhe is found guilty. Police also charged Charles Jason Baldwin with the murders and a third suspect, 18-year-old Michael Wayne Echols, another drop-out, who goes by the name Damian. Echols is described by peers as a very troubled young man. A youth minister who spoke with him a year ago paints a similar picture. RICK McKINNEY, Youth Minister, Second Baptist Church: He was very adamant about the fact that he couldn't go to heaven; that he had made a pact with someone that he said he was- he was going to hell and he knew it. CARTER: After the murders a month ago, many residents thought it the work ofa drifter - an outsider - not someone nurtured by the community. The killings were the main topic ofconversation at Marion High School, where the lone suspect still attending classes had little to say. RHONDA HENDRIX, Classmate ofAccused: We would talk [unintelligible] and he wouldn't say anything and it kind ofscares me [unintelligible] talk about how that the people should be executed because it was gross and he was sitting right next to us and he would just sit there and we'd be talking about it.

The families ofthe accused refuse to believe. DEBBIE CHUN, Aunt ofJesse Miskelley: These boys is not [sic] guilty until proven guilty. COMMUNITY RESIDENT: You hear everybody holler, 'kill 'em! ' How are they gonna' get a fair trial? CARTER: Emotions are running high. For the families ofthe victims, second-graders Michael Moore, Steven Branch and Christopher Byers, it was another tearful day. In court, Branch's father lunged at the defendants, vowing to chase them to hell. Outside, the aunt ofone ofthe victims came to face the accused. VICTIM'S AUNT: I wanted to see who could do such a thing to three, small, 8-year-old boys. CARTER: The bodies ofthe three boys were found here, in Robin Hood Park. It's a name from the myths and fairy tales that are part ofchildhood innocence, not much ofwhich remains, today, in West Memphis. VICTIM'S AUNT: Just definitely watch your kids. Don't- Don't let 'em ride around the block and take offand tell 'em where they can go and what they can do and what they can't do, you know, and be strict. CARTER: That is the law ofthe streets in any town today. Mark Carter, CNN, West Memphis, Arkansas. The preceding text has been professionally transcribed.
