innocence

The presumption of innocence is a cornerstone of the American legal system and a right that should not be taken for granted.

Religion verses Political. Muslims are paying the price.
Concentration camps were once the hauntings of World War II that taught society the darkest side of humanity. Once the war ended, people cheered believing the mass death sentences were over. Legal systems were put in place to protect citizens, and technology became the thing destroying people’s privacy. However, there is treachery happening in our time that is masked behind corrupt legal systems and advanced technology.

Advocate For The Innocent. Third Place in Beyond the Vote Challenge. Top Story - November 2020.
The United States has the worlds highest wrongful conviction rate. What is worse is that there are far more false convictions than there are exonerations, creating a justice system that is not only flawed but one that is untrustworthy and unreliable.

THE RAPE I WITNESSED
Before I begin, this story will be graphic and hard for some readers. A few nights before my best friend got raped she invited me to an air B and B party with a few of my other friends and some random people that I barely met that night. This event took place June 13th, 2020- June 15th, 2020. Everyone at this party seemed pretty ordinary, no one came off to me as creepy. The house had three bedrooms, two living rooms, one dining room, a kitchen, three bathrooms, and a pool. Everyone entered through the garage so the cameras didn't catch how many people actually entered the house. The three bathrooms were designated to certain people for those who wanted to spend the night. One was the master bedroom and was designated to the one person who paid for mostly everything. The other bedroom was called the "guy only bedroom." Leaving the last one to be called the "girl only bedroom." Each bedroom contained three beds. Those of us who showed up to the party first on the first night got to pick our beds first. I showed up first so I picked the bed all the way to the left side of the room. My best friend picked the bed on the right of the room and this other girl picked the bed in the middle. The other girls who were staying the night slept on the floor, didn't sleep, or slept in one of the living rooms. My best friend invited one of her close guy friends over so her boyfriend would show up. Her boyfriend doesn't know that many people at the party, so he said that he would go if that one guy showed up. Two hours after the party started, both of them arrive together. My best friend got so excited that she ran outside to walk them in. But, little did she know that inviting her close guy friend would make the worst night of her life.

The Bank Heist Hostage
It was all so sudden; just when I thought I would be having a great day, I end up at the business end of a few shotgun cannons as I lay flat on the floor. I stood in line at the bank to cash-in on a check that a co-worker gave me for an ancient firewood oven that belonged to my great-grandfather. Little did I know that my luck would turn out this way.

A New Day
Everything that has happened in our past makes us what we are today. Now we can not change the past but we can learn from it and we all can make our futures brighter from what we have learned. I know that I have learned from my past. My past has made it hard for me to find a job, help support my children, make decisions about what was the best for my children, where I can live, and relationships. But with all of the downs, it has made me a stronger person and is making me change for the best.

I Am The Bad Guy With The Gun
My second and last gun was my sawed off shotgun. It held five shots, loaded from the front. It was an older gun, but very useful, and in working order. I never had to use it for any reason, the main reason I really had the guns were to protect myself yes, but really it was in case I ever needed to off myself. Just having an option, an out, and knowing you have a way was a comfort to me, and to many people I’m sure.
