let the record show that my posting about Damien Echols on this forum is not to be misconstrued as an attempt to contact him.

'“We were all extremely poor,” said Echols. “Just poor white trash of the South. You have no real means of mounting any sort of defense to clear your name. You can’t afford DNA testing. You can’t afford expert witnesses. You can’t afford any of the things the state has. You’re lucky if you’re able to scrape enough money to hire a private investigator to look into things. … You’re really outmatched, outgunned in every single way. It was these high profile supporters who were helping us raise awareness about the case, helping to pay for legal fees… They really gave us a fighting chance.”'
