There's nothing in your past or present that the prosecution can throw at you?


No. Im not a violent person. I can't think of anything they could throw at me.

What about your credibility? Can they point (perhaps unfairly) at selective portions of your life and go... "Well this seems to suggest that you could be a liar?"

Honestly if I were framed for murder, I may as well just plea guilty, especially if I'm certain that those in the comments sections are like "throw away the key," "hope they get placed in gen pop" and what not, since even if the courts somehow side with me, I'm basically convicted in the public eye, sooooooooooooooooooooooo... may as well just give the people on Facebook who are commenting on my trial what they want and move on.

I mean just imagine the looks of the people (if you get acquitted) when you walk into a coffee shop and they recognise you

"Oh wait? Aren't you the person who got away with murder?"

And I'm sure it won't happen all the time (you're not that notorious) but in segmented here and theres. Overtime it can get tiring.

If my life is going to be ruined anyway, then it's better to at least get some shelter (in a jail cell) and learn some skills so that when I do get released I have a slightly better chance of finding work, rather than risk losing everything even if I were found innocent, just because the court of public opinion has convicted me long before I can even defend myself.

Plus, knowing my luck, even if I tell the truth nobody would believe me, so...

Indeed. I think as time passes if I plead innocent and I'm found innocent, that feeling and attitude will pass, but if I am convicted... that might take a while longer.
