    Not near the first one, but it's a lot more informative. And it still pisses me off so much that 3 innocent people are behind bars since 1993 because they were different.
  • February 8, 2008
    Maybe I've gotten more cynical in the years since I watched the first film, but I don't necessarily believe the boys as much in this one. However, if they are indeed innocent this is a real tragedy. Plus, for all the arguing Berlinger brings up about the boys being scapegoated,...( read more) I sometimes feel he's not above scapegoating people himself.

    As haunting as its predecessor, this is less a sequel and more an extension of the original documentary. Not much has changed here: the west memphis 3 are still in prison, one of them is still on death row, and the most likely suspect is still parading around, being an ass, comin...( read more)g up with key pieces of evidence which he claims to have 'found' while the authorities oiffhandedly dismiss them, and getting away with it, scot free.

    To be seen immediately after "Paradise Lost; The Child Muirders at Robin Hood Hills".

    A really good follow up !
  • May 13, 2009
    This is a good follow up to the original film about the case. We see the people standing their ground that these young men killed the kids and even more people coming to the defense of the men .
    We are given more information about the crime and how ill prepared the defense w...( read more)as to help defend these boys. As new and old defenders press on we see even bigger holes appear in the case.
    I would like to see another follow up to this case as the boys are still locked up and still trying to clear their name. New DNA evidence has come out that does not match the defendants and the most vocal parent of the slain children has now come out and said that he does not think that these boys committed the murders.
  • December 27, 2008
    I thought this one was a little less grabbing then the first one, if only because it lacked the access they had the first time around. They make the case as interesting as possible, but there was little new evidence that actually came up in this one, and they focused more on susp...( read more)icions than anything concrete, which is how the boys got into this mess in the first place. It's still left up to the viewer to decide and that's a beautiful thing.

    The case of the Memphis 3 - this picks up where the original HBO documentary left off. Not quite as defining as the first, but certainly plenty more to drive home enough evidence and support that the wrong people are behind bars (and the one that SHOULD be is crazier than a loon...( read more) - but then again you'd have to be to do what he did to those poor little boys). This part II was done in 1999 - so even that is nearly 10 years old now.
    Mark Byers is scarier than most anything I've ever seen - he is the stepfather of one of the slain boys (and his wife "mysteriously" died too) Arkansas - what kind of justice system ya runnin' down there huh?
  • August 4, 2008
    Every bit as frightening and frustrating as the first film.

    Free the West Memphis Three.

    All I gotta say is that they can't off Damien until they know fo sho that he is guilty. So far, that is a no go!
