Here's the trailer, just posted to YouTube yesterday, for Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, the third documentary about the West Memphis Three—Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr.—convicted of the murders of three boys in West Memphis, Ark., on May 5, 1993. But the filmmakers—Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky—will surely have to revise the latest installment following today's news that all three men have been set free in a deal with prosecutors. One commenter notes: "How about a new title? Paradise Lost 3: Redemption."
