From one of the greatest legal injustices of our time sprang one of the most unlikely love stories. Damien Echols was just 18 when he was condemned to death for a murder he didn't commit. His case gained notoriety after a documentary, Paradise Lost (HBO, 1996), exposed the biased nature of the trial and exposed Echols as the charming and tragic figure at its centre. Lori Davis was a landscape architect living in New York when she wandered into a showing of the film. When she left she wrote him a letter. Over the course of 16 years, they grew to know and love each other.
