Hahha, whoops! See this is how I got confused. Because Damien is an actual convict (triple-homocide, sentenced to death). And there's the whole "free the west memphis three" thing going on and most people (who can read) tend to think that he's innocent... and he was all dressed in black and the town "weirdo" and basically got convicted cause he listened to Metallica and wore combat boots... so... similar storylines, different context.
