James Clifton, Murderer?

We have all been blamed for something we weren't guilty of doing, at least once in our life. In the best case, you were accused of eating someone’s yogurt, and in the worst case, you were accused of murder. Don’t get me wrong, being blamed for something small, like eating someone’s yogurt, when you are not guilty still isn’t a pleasant situation to be in. However, it comes with much smaller consequences than murder. At worst, you get a slap on the wrist and labeled a liar. Being accused of murder, on the other hand, may result in a much worse outcome. I have been accused of many things I haven't done in the past, like farting, because the actual culprit didn’t claim it. My declaration of innocence apparently automatically made me accountable for the fart. Between you and I, I claim my farts, ok. This time, I have been accused of something much worse than stealing yogurt or farting. I have been accused of murdering my girlfriend, but I am innocent. I am writing this in the hope that it changes how you perceive me.
