Former Arkansas death row inmate Damien Echols speaks at rally opposing the state's upcoming executions, on the front steps of Arkansas' Capitol, Friday, April 14, 2017, in Little Rock, Ark. The Arkansas Supreme Court on Thursday, April 18, 2024, said a judge wrongly denied a request from Echols for new genetic testing of crime scene evidence from the killing of three boys nearly 30 years ago.
