Innocent
until proven guilty used to be the way the justice system worked but now it
seems you are guilty until proven innocent. There are those who are completely
guilty of the crime the committed and of course, as has been proven, time and
time again there are people who are just plain innocent.
How can they fight a system that is so big and powerful? Even if you spend thousands of dollars, it doesn’t mean a lawyer can get you out. Appealing to have a conviction over turned is a long trying process and that still doesn’t mean you will go free.
What is difficult to understand is first how someone could be so angry and vengeful to accuse another person of something they did not do and second the police and lawyers that continue that lie without conscience and ultimately putting an innocent person behind bars. I honestly do not know how they can do that day after day but it happens all the time no matter what country you live in the process may be different and the sentences more severe but innocent people do go to prison.
It all comes down to the fact the justice systems all over are broken. They don’t want to think or admit they prosecuted the wrong person. I think we have all seen on TV at some point the real news shows where a person is found to be absolutely not guilty and the state attorney still can’t say they made a mistake, that is troubling to me and unbelievable.
I guess we can say be careful about who you are with and what they do but most cases when a person is arrested the innocent part goes out the window. Hope that you never, never find yourself in that situation, if you do and you know you didn’t do what you are accused of fight the system until someone hears you and listens. There are people who do care about this problem and even though it has been happening for thousands of years, it is finally being brought to the attention of the public and it has gotten better. With the social media the way it is today there is no way that, people will let injustice continue without a fight. Innocent until proven guilty is a statement that needs to go back to its original state and practiced the way law was intended.
8. But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.
9. There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
10. So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her.
11. But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside,
12. that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.
13. And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,
14. that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.
15. And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.”
16. So she kept his garment with her until his master came home.
17. Then she spoke to him with words like these, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me to mock me;
18. so it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside.”
19. So it was, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying, “Your servant did to me after this manner,” that his anger was aroused.
20. Then Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison.
21. But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22. And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison; whatever they did there, it was his doing.
23. The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph’s authority, because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper.
2. “You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3. Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4. and plotted to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him.
5. But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.”
7. And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion.
8. Then the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them.
9. But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
10. For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.
11. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
12. Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
13. So they cried out again, “Crucify Him!”
14. Then Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, “Crucify Him!”
So he said to them, “Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”
