Burden Of Innocence





The video i picked to watch was called Burden Of Innocence .I picked this video because it was the title that caught my attention. The video was about different men that were wrongfully accused of rape, murder, etc. These man spent up to 10-20 years in jail when they didn't even do anything. Also, in the video they explain their experiences in jail and their life after they get out. Just knowing that you didn't do anything and your the one put in jail, i could only imagine how they felt wasting all those years in jail knowing that they are innocent but are accused of something that they didn't do.Until years later after serving 10-20 years in jail, they finally took a DNA test that proved that the people they had in jail wasn't who they were looking for. They also were interviewed after they get out, their lives changed completely and some left jail to come home to nothing.
I think that that is wrong. I think they should of took the DNA test when they were in trail or on the edge of going into jail, i think its wrong and they should sue the government for that. But it can take years to get a response back to see if you can ever sue the government for that. I think the video was a great video; it was also very sad because innocent people got a big chunk of their lives thrown away for no reason, i don't think they deserve that, no one does.
