48 Hours: Secrets of a Marriage

I finally was able to do some catching up last night.  I was able to watch last week’s TV shows.  I watched 48 Hours Secrets of a Marriage.  It was an interesting story of a husband and a wife, and sadly, murder.

I believe the jury got this case correct when they put Wesley Earnest behind bars. While there were several indicators for me, the one that I found the most fascinating was what Earnest said when he was asked the following question in the 48 Hours interview:

“Are you prepared if the verdict comes back guilty? Have you thought about that?” Smith asked Earnest.

“I have,” he replied.

“What do you do?”

“Stare at the walls in a 6×8 cell.”

Really? 

If he’s wrongly convicted, he’ll just stare at the walls?

Wow.

If you were innocent and handed down a guilty verdict, would you just sit and stare at the walls?

It’s fascinating how a guilty mind works versus an innocent one.  They don’t run the same channels no matter how hard they try to make them!
