Guilty (Juan)

I would confess to a capital crime because I would have a lesser punishment and I could be free. I would also blame someone else because I know that someone said that I was practicing witchcraft so they could save him or her self. I know that is not the right thing to do but it’s either him or me and in a situation like that you have to look out for you’re self and your family. I think what drove people to confess was that if you confess you have a better chance to make out alive with no friends of no support but you are going to be alive. Even though it was not for sure that if you confess you were going to be free but most of the time you had a better chance to live. And I think people also confess because if you confess of practicing witchcraft the judges would probably feel that your faith in god came back and that’s why you confess of being guilty and they would probably let you free. I would think about my family a lot I would put them first and if I need to admit something that is not truth so I could be with my family and be there for them then I would do it.
