They are three young men (teens at the time) who many believe were wrongfully convicted of killing three little boys in West Memphis, Arkansas a few years ago. A documentary was made about the case, and many people, including myself and beth believe they should at least get new trials.

[Free the West Memphis Three](http://www.wm3.org/) is a group trying to um, free them.

AFAIK, Poofy was not proven to be involved in the case.
