Johnny Depp joined Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines over the weekend to host a benefit for the West Memphis 3 at Little Rock's Robinson Center Music Hall.

The West Memphis 3 is a trio of young men who were convicted of heinous crimes, although several people, such as these celebrities, think they were wrongfully charged.

"It makes me feel good," Jessie Misskelley, Sr., the parent of Jessie Jr., one of the accused men, told CBS affiliate WREG. "[Depp] don't know him from Adam and they all getting up there saying he's not guilty. Makes me feel good."

Damien Echols, one of the West Memphis 3, is currently on death row. The concert took place just one month before he appeals for his new trial.

The benefit was thrown to raise awareness for the three men and gather proceeds to help pay for their legal fees.
