Title: How did I get here?
Description: There are times when the right to remain silent and the need to say something exist in the same moment. I would suppose a choice is made at such a time as to whether guilt is a matter of fact or a matter of conscience. A youthful mind forged in a crucible of fear might argue, 'Yeah I did it, but that don't make me guilty. My world has a different measure.'
