Open Grave Records Partners With The Free The West Memphis Three Defense Fund
February 7, 2007, 17 years ago
Open Grave Records have announced that they have entered into an agreement with The Free The West Memphis Three Defense Fund that 5% of all sales from the Open Grave Records online store will be donated to the fund. The founders of Open Grave Records have always been big supports of the WM3, and are pleased to be able support their cause and to offer this great incentive to their customers.
The West Memphis Three (also known as WM3) are three boys (now men) from West Memphis, Arkansas. When they where teens they had been convicted of murders that they did not commit based on false evidence and the fact they liked “Heavy Metal” music. Today all three live behind bars, with one being giving the death sentence.
The Free The West Memphis Three Defense Fund was started to raise money for the appeal of these sentences.
