Oh, right! Look, we all know everyone who was ever sent to prison or executed in the entire history of mankind has been innocent! Ask them, they’ll tell you. They were fitted up, the cops broke the rules, the jury was biased, the judge was a bastard, etc. etc.

Enough evidence was presented to persuade a jury of your peers that you had done what you were accused of doing. This is not about justice. Justice is a fiction. An amorphous, ever-changing Genie summoned up by the irresponsible, the corrupt and the fanatical to try and escape the consequences of their actions. It’s about the law, a code which proscribes actions that are deemed harmful to society at large. You were found to have committed such actions, and were punished in the manner deemed proper and proportionate by the law.

Your self-pitying, maudlin pleas lessen you even further. Take responsibility for your actions and their results. Don’t whine like a toddler with a wet arse!
