It never ceases to amaze me how powerful asking for forgiveness can be, and in kind, forgiving. It equally ceases to amaze me how stubborn some people can be in refusing to ever admit being wrong. Because that would be weak. To me, it’s cowardice; it takes more balls to swallow pride, than [...]

Wrongfully imprisoned victim comments on needed changes in the justice system regarding interrogation techniques, etc. It’s amazing how ghetto our system can be even in the 21st century.
