As we draw closer to our mid-season break, it's been my goal to give you as much

firsthand inside information as to what went on at the trials of Jesse, Jason, and Damien

and let you hear from the people who lived it and how it affected their lives.

We're going to conclude that three-part series today with the man who at 19 years old

intrigued the world with his appearance in the movie Paradise Lost.

Thousands of people throughout the country identified with Damien Eccles World, the

Black clothing, the heavy metal music, and even his interest in religions that were

not deemed, quote, traditional, especially in the South.

And today, you're about to hear directly from Damien Eccles himself.

So, Damien, you were just 19 years old when you first became a suspect in the case

that, of course, we all know now, as the West Memphis three case.

And I guess I'd like to start by talking about your experiences and how this all affected

you.

You were questioned and we talked a little bit about this the last time you were on the

show and within hours of the discovery of the bodies.

Can we start off first by talking about what was going on as far as how it was affecting

you and specifically what was happening in your life from May 8th when Steve Jones and

James Sudbury first came to your house until June 3rd when you were ultimately arrested.

I mean, it became the cops when I say it.

I'm talking about the case of a police, everybody involved with it.
