West Memphis Three
The importance of gathering timely and correct evidence during investigations by a police department cannot be understated. It is especially important that the evidence gathered be absolutely correct when it comes to a case where the community is putting the police department under a lot of pressure to solve the case. Evidence that is gathered appropriately can lead to the rightful conviction of suspects. From the case of the West Memphis three, it is evident that pressure from the community can also greatly affect the way the police gather evidence.
