Ch. 8

Justine was easily put into the position of murdering William. She had no solid alibi to keep her from being a suspect. If I did not know the truth I would have also believed she was the murderer. I feel that I am the true murderer because I created that creature. I gave it the life it needed to to commit such a crime. I couldn't stand hearing Justine tell about her innocent whereabouts while everyone else thought they were lies. Justine is too innocent of a person to have done such an awful thing.

They declared her guilty. She even confessed she was guilty because she knew no one would ever believe her. Justine confessed to Elizabeth and me that she was innocent. I of course know who the true murderer is. I feel like such a disgrace. Why can't I just let the truth be known? Am I that much of a coward? Justine will ever be known as a murderer even though the family of the victim pleaded for her freedom. I just hope Justine will forgive me for my cowardly actions.
