{"product_id":"book-ajda","title":"Life After Death","description":"In 1993, teenagers Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie  Misskelley, Jr.—who have come to be known as the West Memphis Three—were  arrested for the murders of three eight-year-old boys in Arkansas. The  ensuing trial was marked by tampered evidence, false testimony, and  public hysteria. Baldwin and Misskelley were sentenced to life in  prison; while eighteen-year-old Echols, deemed the “ringleader,” was  sentenced to death. Over the next two decades, the WM3 became known  worldwide as a symbol of wrongful conviction and imprisonment, with  thousands of supporters and many notable celebrities who called for a  new trial. In a shocking turn of events, all three men were released in  August 2011.\u003cbr\u003eNow Echols shares his story in full—from abuse by prison guards and  wardens, to portraits of fellow inmates and deplorable living  conditions, to the incredible reserves of patience, spirituality, and  perseverance that kept him alive and sane while incarcerated for nearly  two decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these pages, Echols reveals himself a brilliant writer, infusing his  narrative with tragedy and irony in equal measure: he describes the  terrors he experienced every day and his outrage toward the American  justice system, and offers a firsthand account of living on Death Row in  heartbreaking, agonizing detail. \u003ci\u003eLife After Death\u003c\/i\u003e is destined to be a riveting, explosive classic of prison literature.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49337064227120,"sku":"BDajda","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/268531-ajda-Square.jpg?v=1733962898","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ajda","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
