| 0:00.0 | We are hanging out today with Damien Eccles of the West Memphis 3. You may have seen the story in the documentary series Paradise Lost. |
| 0:08.0 | I think the simplest way that I can describe this is the state tried to kill a person, basically to placate angry individuals. |
| 0:15.9 | I'm very much against a death penalty. And so, you know, a story about the government wanting to kill someone and |
| 0:22.5 | imprison several, a couple others, because it made their jobs easier is, it's a crazy story. |
| 0:28.6 | And it's captivated people for decades. So Damien, thanks for hanging out with us. |
| 0:33.3 | Thanks for having me. Yeah, this would be, I think this will be fascinating. We also have |
| 0:36.6 | Cassandra Fairbanks, because admittedly, this is a subject. |
| 0:40.5 | I am, you know, I can talk about politics, philosophy, and my views on the case. |
| 0:44.3 | But Cassandra seems to know everything, you know, probably the second most, maybe next to you, Damien, about what actually happened. |

| 1:07.3 | almost everything I could find since then. And I'm, I'm old now. So it's been a while. |
| 1:14.4 | So I'm very happy that you're here and you're free and we're speaking to you. Thank you. I've |
| 1:20.0 | actually seen you a few times online like defending us. And that was what made me say like whenever |
| 1:24.4 | you guys asked it, I want to come on. I was like yeah. Because I honestly I don't enjoy like you know talking about the stuff like it's in a lot of ways it's |
| 1:32.6 | incredibly traumatic so it just helps knowing you're going into a situation with somebody that |
| 1:37.4 | actually knows the details of things and and that has shown support through the year so I appreciate |
| 1:42.3 | that I think we'll have a mix of people who are deeply invested and know the story going back decades, and some people who are rather |
| 1:48.5 | new to it. So, you know, how would you guys propose starting off what this story is? I mean, |
