The Forgotten West Memphis Three

Terry Hobbs. If you look at all the various documentaries about this case that have him walking to and from with his weeping wife at the time take a close look at his face. Not a single tear in his eye at any point that he's been questioned or even in a shot. When I look at that man I see no emotion at all, a trait of a sociopath. In my opinion he's guilty. DNA evidence supports it, it's just the state of Arkansas does not want to admit what a huge fu@k up this was. We can only hope the next DA has a heart and allows re-examination of evidence.

No new facts added, no extra light shed on the incident. Just a charmless, unlikeable guy covering old ground whilst occasionally going "wow" like he has just uncovered some sort of case breaking fact

Some idiot calling himself an investigator who goes back to ground zero. Totally boring and uninspired .He talks to camera when the camera should be on the area and is more interested in his claimed investigator status. Rewatch Paradise Lost a real documnetary, which this is not in any real sense

There is much new information, and many personal updates since the making of Paradise Lost(1996) and Paradise Lost 2(2010). * * * * * * POTENTIAL SPOILER FROM FIRST 10 MINS OF PROGRAMME!!! * * * Most obviously, that the accused were released in 2011. There are also post-release interviews (one off camera), with all three released men. The progress of DNA Validation/dismissal/discovery of witnesses. and so many other things that i can't mention without literally giving spoilers.

As for the 'host' who as a trained fire investigator, with proven skills as a crime investigator, is more than just a host. He speaks coherently and passionately to camera. Nor does he use jargon that would exclude the audience, when he consults with fellow crime/investigation professionals.

Of course, much of the media and court footage has been seen before but it is impossible to avoid showing this if one is to tell the story from beginning up to the current point - 2019. However there is much new footage, and often the older footage was used in a different context - if you watch then you will see what i mean.

I did not find this series boring. However, I did sense the whole documentary was a tease. Good ol' Bob is playing it up for the camera, a lot. But Ruff suggests so many assumptions that just have no merit. The stunt where he has a guy recreate the trek from the crime scene to Bojangles is pure theater and irrelevant. The scene where he is tracking down all the WM3 guys because he needs their permission to DNA test evidence is pure nonsense. He is acting like getting oral OKs will allow a Podcaster to obtain forensic evidence from a triple homicide for DNA testing. Say what!? The state is not opening this case unless they have a law enforcement officer that finds an actual suspect. The DA is not going to turn over evidence for television ratings. This documentary is very much like a podcast, a lot of innuendo, loose facts, and not much else.
