You have the magical power to stop one and only one of the following two scenarios. Which would you prevent?
- You are arrested for a crime you didn't commit and spend several years in jail.
- A stranger is arrested for a crime she didn't commit, and spends the rest of her life in jail.

I'm going to prevent the stranger from spending the rest of her life in jail. "Several years" is a long time, but at least it's a set period of time; you know eventually you're going to get out. Also, as far as I know reading and writing are allowed in jail, so I could use the time to whittle down my to-be-read list and finally finish a novel or two. Or maybe work on another degree by correspondence ;-) Or work on my appeal. etc. Which is to say, I think I might be more resilient in this situation that others would be.
I gotta think of my kids & throw the stranger under the bus.
