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!
