I’m confused. I don’t know what to think or how I should feel. All my life white folks have always convicted black folks for doing something that wasn’t bad at all. I have thought this and thought that. I can’t make up my mind and can’t get my head on straight. I started to see things a little differently. Ever since the night before the trial something been bothering me. I can’t leave that thought alone. That night when me and my buddies went to the jail house I was thinking one thing, and by…
