Old man, look at your tweets, they're a lot like mine are.

That line he gives at the end of the first documentary, about how he hopes he becomes a sort of boogie man of West Memphis, sent a shiver down my spine.  He said this AFTER HE WAS CONVICTED OF MURDERING CHILDREN.  That's fucked up.  And then he just sort of laughs that line off in the second doc.  There is something…
