If you were arrested for murder but didn't do it..

[Guest Downhome]

Let's say you got the death penelty, and they had evidence which someone planted and the such at the scene connecting the murder/s to you, and everyone was convinced you did it, period. What would you possibly do? Would you simply accept the fact, or would you try to escape from prision? Would you hold onto hope that someone on the "outside" could eventually help you and just wait it out, or what?

 

Sincerely,

...Downhome...

[Guest Angle-plex]

I wouldn't try to escape until I got/was about to get convicted.

 

I dunno what I would do before then.

[Guest papacita]

I really can't think of anything I'd do besides appeal as often as possible and hope that everything works out for the best. However, if things looked too bleak and the opportunity presented itself, yeah I'd try to escape. I definitely wouldn't accept the sentence though.

[Guest Downhome]

I would end up doing one of a few options...

 

1) I'd escape, somehow, some way, and leave forever.

 

2) I'd become so pissed at society, and the "law of the land", that I would snap, becoming the killer that I am being accused of being already.

 

...that may sound crazy, but I'm sure many could have such a reaction to something like this.

[Guest Ravenbomb]

I'd have Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky make a movie about it.

[Guest Choken One]

Of course it would be natural to snap and become the killer you're excused of being.

 

Me?accept the fate and Wait for my place in hell...wait fuck that. I'll kill all of y'all's kids before I fry.

[Guest DawnBTVS]

I'd just go F it and try and build a reputation in the prison by killing as many inmates as I could before I'd die either by them or by the death penalty Either that or team up with a crew of 5 or 6 guys and try and escape.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I'd get religious

[Guest Flyboy]

Downhome makes the craziest topics..

[Guest Dopey]

I'd fast and pray.

"Is this not the fast that I have chosen;

To loose the bonds of wickedness,

To undo the heavy burdens,

To let the oppressed go free,

And that you break every yoke?" Isaiah 58:6

[Guest Downhome]

What is another one besides this, I don't seem to remember. :D

[Guest Vern Gagne]

*Cry*

[Guest Insanityman]

Do my best to get out of it legally THEN go kill whatever bastards I've never liked if I can't get out if it.

 

 

Gotta' make the best of every situation.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

I'd do a shitload of drugs until I was so fucked up I'd have no idea where I am most of the time. Then at least I'd be happy while I was high, and too out of it to be depressed when I wasn't.

[Guest midnight_burn]

I'd go get Johnny Cochran.

[Guest Sandman9000]

I'd kill someone. If I'm gonna be accused of something, might as well make it true.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I'd gut someone and write Milton's Paradise Lost on the walls with their blood.

[Guest J*ingus]

Alright, that's our one Nick Cave reference for a morbid thread, the quota has been reached, everyone else move along.

[Guest cynicalprofit]

Id blame it on pro wrestling.

[Guest R2DFooster McSockman]

I'd remove my clothes in the courtroom and eat them. A lifetime of being drugged up in a mental institution is infinitely preferable to being the bitch of a 400lb biker on death row, in my very humble (but correct) opinion.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

You know, I remember seeing a documentary on HBO about a prison (Riker's Island possibly) with a gay block, and the people pretty much left you alone there. I might do that... you're not required to have sex with men to go there, you just have to say you're gay. I can say I'm gay to get out of endless rape and murder attempts.

[Guest caboose]

I'd travel from town to town helping people while trying to hunt the one armed man.

 

What Do You Mean I Ripped It Off?

[Guest NoCalMike]

Well, if you were innocent and still sent to prison, you would most certainly either be killed or become a criminal by default.....once you go to a maximum security prison, you would have no choice but to become a criminal in one way or another, beit murder, conspiracy or drug trafficking.....or you could just refuse to do any of it and possibly die in the process. I do know however, if I was threatened with rape, it would be the last day I lived because I would kill or be killed to avoid, or avenge the rape/rapist.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Become like that black guy who killed that cop, and have wannabe hippy college students, and celebrities kiss my ass and hold fundraisers while I write poetry.

[Guest Gathering Moss]

I would probably fall back on my long history of mental illness and then live the rest of my life in a cushy mental hospital. Those padded cells are comfy!

[Guest YouDaFoo]

Fail the IQ test!

[Guest Incandenza]

Um, then I'd pin it on the violin-playing drifter beneath the bridge that sleeps in a fridge.

Inc, you need to join the Nick Cave reference union before you can do that. This here is a contract job, and you going in and doing freelance work like that means I'm within my rights to sue you AND Jingus for directly or indirectly breaching my contract.
