On Saturday night, Little Rock’s Robinson Auditorium was filled with supporters of the so-called West Memphis Three  (if you are unfamiliar with their cause, see my previous posts here or here).  Attendees at the fundraiser were entertained by celebrity supporters, including Eddie Vedder, Natalie Maines, Patti Smith, Johnny Depp, Fistful of Mercy (which includes Ben Harper, Joseph Arthur, and Dhani Harrison (George’s son)).  John Brummett was there and has a good write-up of the evening here.

I was pretty dissapointed that I was travelling elsewhere and had to miss this event.  Luckily, some in attendance captured some great footage.  I posted a few clips below.  

The State Supreme Court will decide on September 30 whether or not Damien Echols will receive a new trial.
