“Three Guys Listening to Heavy Metal Music Are Accused of Murder: Is

This is the story of three guys who loved listening to heavy metal music and were accused of murder.

Introduction

On the night of March 13, 1984, three young men were hanging out together in a parked car in Brooklyn, listening to music on the radio. Around midnight, they were startled by a police cruiser that pulled up alongside them. The officers got out and ordered the three to put their hands up.

What happened?

On October 10, 2014, three guys who were listening to heavy metal music in a car were accused of murder.

The victim, Josh Moore, was found dead in a burned-out car in rural Georgia. His body was so badly burned that investigators couldn’t determine how he died.

Moore’s parents said that their son had been hanging out with three guys who were into heavy metal music. They said that the three guys – Edward McAllister, Brandon Ford and Tony Cowart – were “obsessed” with the music and had been trying to get Moore to join their band.

The day before Moore’s body was found, the three guys had posted a picture of themselves on Facebook, listening to heavy metal music in their car. Investigators say that this is the last known picture of Moore alive.

Police interviewed the three guys and they all admitted to being with Moore the day he died. But they all denied killing him.

Investigators are still trying to determine how Moore died and whether or not the three guys had anything to do with it.

The three guys listening to heavy metal music

In 1986, three guys in their early twenties – Joseph Nurre, David Zackary, and Scott Westerfield – were accused of the brutal murder of an elderly couple in Tacoma, Washington. The three men claimed they were innocent, and that they had been listening to heavy metal music at the time of the crime.

The murder trial was a media circus, and the three men were convicted and sentenced to life in prison. However, there was enough doubt about their guilt that they were eventually exonerated and released from prison in 2004.

Heavy metal music has often been blamed for violence and other anti-social behavior. However, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. In fact, research has shown that people who listen to heavy metal music are no more likely to be violent than those who don’t listen to it.

The accusations

On October 2, 1986, three young men were accused of murder in Uttar Pradesh, India. The three men – Mahendra alias Pappu, Guddu and Raju – were allegedly listening to heavy metal music on a cassette player when the crime took place. The victim, Santosh Yadav, was a neighbor of the three accused and was reportedly killed over a dispute regarding the loud music.

The case caused a sensation in the local community and made headlines in the national media. The three accused were arrested and charged with murder. However, they were later released on bail after the police failed to establish a clear motive for the crime.

The case remains unsolved and the three men have never been apprehended.

The trial

The trial of the three men began on May 10, 1988, and ended on June 3. The prosecution’s case against the defendants was largely circumstantial. The key pieces of evidence were eyewitness testimony linking the defendants to the crime, and tape recordings of the defendants discussing the murder. The defense argued that the eyewitnesses were mistaken, and that the tape recordings had been edited to make it appear that the defendants were guilty.

After deliberating for eleven hours, the jury found all three defendants guilty of second-degree murder.

The verdict

The jury found the three men guilty of murder, and they were each sentenced to life in prison.

Aftermath

The case against the “West Memphis Three” as they came to be known was largely circumstantial. There was no murder weapon and no confession. The prosecution’s case rested on the fact that the three boys were goths who listened to metal music and wore black clothes. They were also said to be interested in Satanism, which the prosecution used to paint them as evil people who would be capable of murder.

The jury found all three boys guilty, and they were each sentenced to life in prison. However, there was always a lot of doubt about their guilt, and over the years, many people have come to believe that they were wrongfully convicted. In 2011, new DNA evidence led to them being released from prison after 18 years.
