Answer:
Today was the day that will stay with me for the rest of my life. The jury came back with a verdict and I was found not guilty. I was in shock when I heard the decision. I didn't know what to feel, I was so relieved and at the same time, I felt this heavy burden lift off my shoulders.
I walked over to Miss O'Brien, who had been there for me throughout the whole trial, to give her a hug, but she walked away. It hurt me deeply and I felt like I lost a mentor and a friend.
King, Oswaldo and Bobo are still in jail. I haven't seen them in a while, but I know they are still fighting for justice. It's hard to think about what they must be going through, but I have to keep fighting for them and for everyone who has been wronged.
Things at home are different. My mom is still struggling with the aftermath of the trial, and my dad is working harder than ever to make ends meet. But I know that we'll get through this together.
I've started making films that bring attention to social justice issues. I want to use my skills to bring about change and to give a voice to those who don't have one. Filmmaking is my way of making a difference in the world and I won't stop until things are better for everyone.
