It could happen to any one of us. By Simonne Liberty.

Have you ever heard of being

in the wrong place at the wrong time?

It could happen to anyone

victims of violent crime don’t deserve

to face that fate

but often people convicted of a crime

can also be in the wrong place

at the wrong time

being with someone who commits

a crime can make you, an innocent person

“guilty by association”

then the law will punish you EQUALLY”

for the crime

none of us is responsible for how

someone else thinks or acts

being guilty by association does not

make one an “accomplice”

an accomplice is one who is of the same

mind set to commit a crime

just being at the same place

at the same time

does not constitute “guilt by way of

association”laws are not always just

law officials are human and

make human mistakes

no different than those who they accuse

being in the wrong place at the

wrong time

can happen to anyone of us

should innocent people be convicted

equally for a crime committed

unaware by an associate?

Is that really justice?

are we as a society that evil

to allow it that way?

YES WE ARE!

    Unfrortunately, this is an ongoing mess in America that will never stop and ruins many lives forever.
