Twenty Sieeeeex years is almost a lifetime!!!

As i hopelessly continued to chew the not so interesting lunch i get in my cafeteria, all my attention is on the news channel playing on the 52' TV mounted on the wall of our cafe.

The news on TV is about a person called Charles Chatman who was falsely accused of rape charges in 1981 by his neighbor... Guess what, he's being released now after 26 yrs because of some smart ass lawyer proving he hadn't committed the crime!

For the rest of my lunch, i was left wondering how it feels to be when you end up being in jail for 26 years for a crime you haven't committed at the most prime age of your life... What do you do if you were Charles?
Would Charles be motivated to actually commit such a crime inspired by Double Jeopardy?
Would Charles be thinking of finding another smart lawyer who could win him a couple of million dollars for the irreparable damage done to his life?

Maybe, a class in psychology might have been helpful. I realize by now that i have gulped thru' my lunch and its time to get back to work!
