The repercussions of blaming someone who did not actually commit the crime can potentially be really bad. I hate it when people blame me for something I did not do, so I cannot even imagine being blames for murder.I think that I would go absolutely crazy because I would be so mad at the people who accused me of the crime I did not commit. I think that I have probably at one time accused somebody of something that they did not do, but I did not ever do it on purpose. I work at PASSAGE, so I am sure that some kids there have been punished for something that they did not do, but I do not like to punish any kids that I am not positive about then doing anything wrong. I think that is stinks when people blame me for something that I did not do, so I really do not understand why people continue to blame things on others even though they are not for sure who did it. I remember one time that I was blamed for somethiv that I did not do. I was about ten or eleven years old and the soap in the laundry room spilled all over the floor. I was not even the last person to do the laundry, so I do not even know why I was the innocent one that got blamed. Becausemy sister was not home, I guess I was the only person to blame. I wax punished for the incident and I did not even do it. It would be so bad if I was accused of practicing witchcraft during the Salem witch trials. I think that I would tell the judge that I was pregnant too, so they did not immediately hang me.  I think that they obviously did not deal with the cases the way that they would today because people are not tried for a crime unless there is evidence to back that up.  i would hate to be put in jail for something that I did not do.  I think that would be one of the worst ways to end up in jail because you would have absolutely no control over the situation what so ever.
