The judge then sentenced the three men to 18 years and 78 days, the amount of time they had served, and also levied a suspended sentence of 10 years. Baldwin was initially resistant to agree to this deal, insisting as a matter of principle that he would not plead guilty to something he did not do. He then realized, he has said, that his refusal would have meant that Echols stayed on death row. "This was not justice," he said of the deal. "However, they're trying to kill Damien."<ref name=nyt_alford/> Since his release, Baldwin has moved to Seattle to live with friends. He is in a relationship with a woman who befriended him while he was in prison. He has stated that he plans on enrolling in college to become a lawyer in order to help [[miscarriage of justice|wrongfully convicted]] persons prove their innocence.<ref>{{cite web|title=Q&A: Paradise Lost directors Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky |url=http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7456398/child-murders-robin-hood-hills-directors-joe-berlinger-bruce-sinofsky |first=Davy |last=Rothbart |date=January 12, 2012 |work=Grantland |publisher=ESPN Internet Ventures |access-date=January 24, 2012}}</ref> Baldwin said in a 2011 interview with [[Piers Morgan]] that he worked for a construction company and he was learning how to drive.<ref name="cnn2011">{{Cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/29/justice/piers-morgan-west-memphis-three/index.html?&hpt=hp_c1|title=Decades without daylight: 'West Memphis Three' describe life in prison|publisher=CNN |author=CNN Wire Staff|access-date=September 30, 2011|date=September 29, 2011}}</ref>
