All three members of the West Memphis 3 arrived at the Craighead County Courthouse in Arkansas moments ago … where at least TWO of the men are expected to be granted their release from prison.

Two huge celebrities have also arrived at the courthouse to support the men … Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder.

The WM3 — comprised of Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin — were found guilty of killing 3 boy scouts in 1993. Misskelley and Baldwin were sentenced to life in prison. Echols was sentenced to death.

The case became a cause célèbre over the years after new prove surfaced … raising serious doubts as to whether the WM3 in fact killed the three young boys.

The WM3 had maintained their innocence for years … but according to local reports, two of the men are expected to “admit guilt” during today’s hearing in exchange for their freedom.

Tale rising …
