Recently I've seen that Johnny Depp has taken interest in the trial of the West Memphis Three.  If you don't know who the Memphis Three are here's a brief overview
   The West Memphis Three are three teenagers who were tried and convicted of the murders of three children in the West Memphis Arkansas in 1993.  One was sentenced to death, another to life with out parole and the third to life in prison plus 40 years.  One of the boys (Misskelley) was questioned for 12 hours without counsel or parental consent, and was mentally disabled confessed back to the police what he was told to say.  There was no physical evidence, no weapons, and no connection to the victims.  The prosecution said it was because these boys were involved in a satanic cult.  I've found a couple of really good websites to look at as far as other celebrities being involved in this case and just basic information on the case.
