West of Memphis

La historia

Historia que ahonda en la dinámica de la justicia norteamericana y especialmente en su falta de criterio cuando los acusados no tienen los recursos económicos adecuados para defenderse. Avalado por Peter Jackson y Fran Walsh, el documental se centra en "Los Tres de West Memphis", apodo con el que se conoce a tres hombres que fueron juzgados y condenados en 1994, siendo adolescentes, por la muerte de tres niños en la ciudad de West Memphis, Arkansas, el 5 de mayo de 1993. Años más tarde, en 2010, los acusados fueron puestos en libertad después de que su abogado presentara un recurso hábeas corpus, basado en la Segunda Enmienda de la Constitución estadounidense, donde se dejó claro que la investigación de la policía en los crímenes fue totalmente defectuosa.
