An Evening with Damien Echols and Lorri Davis

Damien, Tassoula and Lorri

Damien Echols and his wife Lorri Davis recently came to Seattle to promote their new book, Yours for Eternity, and Tassoula was lucky enough to attend and meet them.

The lecture portion of the evening, hosted at Seattle's Town Hall, is available in audio format free of charge here.

Cinebanter listeners may recall Michael and Tassoula extensively spoke about the documentary trilogy Paradise Lost, which detailed the journey of the West Memphis Three: Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jesse Misskelley.

The wrongly convicted inmates were released in August of 2011.
