While on this trip I
questioned if I was cold hearted. This question first rose to me when I first handedly
heard the story of Anthony Ray Hinton. Although I was very understanding of his
situation, I felt no actual emotions. After some time to reflect to myself, I
realized that I was not cold hearted but aware of the cruel we live in. This
perspective was influenced through my law in contemporary society class, where
I studied many cases off innocent people who were wrongfully convicted of a
crime they did not commit. Although I was not emotional I was very appreciative
of Mr. Hinton having the strength and courage to repeatedly tell his story to
others who could potentially Judge him.
