The Power of Law
The power of law
A judge sitting in front of a court room
A man on trial from a prior conviction
A conviction that was wrong.
The man was trying to save her life
But instead was the one put in jail
The officers did not know if was someone else
Someone else who killed her.
The lawyer stands there
Giving all of her facts
Telling everyone that there is clear evidence
He did not do it.
Minutes pass by
Contemplation and spectulation across the room.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
He is free.
No more time in jail for the wrongfully convicted man.
