The innocents by Taryn SimonAll the people written in this book are real. They were wrongly identified and therefore being convicted of a crime/crimes which were not true at all. Some were being threatened to confess. Most were sent to jail for more than 10years until relevant evidences found and confirmed that they were innocent.
I seriously feel sad for these people. Even in my life, I have always hated to be accused by people and could even get very angry of being accused over a small issue. If this had taken place on me, I guess I would feel very lost, frightened, angry and sad. Perhaps I would have thought of dying but before that I would try any ways to prove that I was innocent. Imagine yourself being sent to jail for more than 10years? What can you do when you are finally being released? I have no idea. Some or even all of them had to give up on their ambitions because they wasted their whole solid 10 years for nothing. A few of them were of my age when being arrested. Can you imagine? I do not want to. Hopefully, this will not take place in Singapore. Please!
