Steve is found not guilty! This made me happy that they let him go, I knew that he didn't deserve to go to jail but I was nervous that they would put him away just because of his skin color and situation. This must have been a terrifying ordeal for Steve, I can't imagine what it's like to be put on trial and to know that you could possibly go to jail for the rest of your life if you're found guilty. I noticed that Steve was questioning himself throughout the trial, I felt bad for him because he seemed to feel really bad about the whole situation.

I'm just glad that he got out of it, it must have taken some guts to not just collapse under the pressure of the whole trial and people calling him monster and such. If I was in his situation I would be a mess, I don't handle failure or knowing that I've disappointed someone well. I always feel like I'm a terrible person for doing something that someone thinks is wrong even if I know that I did the right thing. If I was ever put on trial I would be so nervous and I would feel so awful that someone accused me of a crime. I don't even want to think about that.

Steve overcoming the odds that he would be put in prison reminds me of when my soccer team beat the Minneapolis United Jedi which is another soccer team that my team hates. They are a pretty good team but we were just as good as them but we just couldn't beat them, which was really frustrating. But one game at Kuhlman field, we were playing really well and we held them to a tie at the end of the first half which was really good for us. Later in the second half we scored! It was such a good feeling to be beating them, but we knew that there was still plenty of game left to be played and that we would have to have some tenacious defense. At one point, they had a free that they placed into the lower right corner, but our goalie, Austin, made an amazing save that energized our whole team, we went the rest of the game without letting them get a decent shot. We ended up winning one to zero in one of the best games that we had played.
