They say that one's pride is one's downfall. Sometimes, I don't think that's the case. I'm not sure if you would classify the following case as one's pride but just think about what you would do if it applied to you. The question is basically asking you, are you willing to give up your sanity for something you know is true? And are you willing to live the rest of your life knowing that to everyone, you were a criminal?
I was watching 60 minutes about a few months ago and I clearly remember this man who was accused of sexual assault on a few women around Western Australia. Imagine you are the 20 year old man. You have been sentenced to a minimum of 30 years imprisonment and after you have completed 15 years, your case may be reviewed. However, you are innocent.
It has now come to that stage where you have spent those 15 years of your life in jail. You have wasted 15 years of your life in prison. You've missed out on so much of life's adventures and experiences. The court offers a deal: you confess your guilt and you are free. If you proclaim your innocence, you're in for another 15 years minimum. But you know you are innocent. What would you do?
35, a convicted sexual offender, and no career or money or babe waiting for me? i'll take jail.
ReplyDeletei like the way you think
ReplyDeleteIt's obviously a trick. If you say you're guilty, they lock you up cos you're guilty, but if you say you're innocent, they get to lock you up anyways. :D
