“It’s simple: God has never made a mistake. That’s just who he is, you see. If our system — and this is the sad thing about our system — if our system took the time to really investigate what happened 13 years ago, maybe they would have gotten to the bottom line. But the saddest thing ever is a man looked me in my face and told me, ‘We know you didn’t do this, but you’re going down for it anyway.’ To the family: If you knew, if you really knew the way God works, he don’t use people who commits anything like that for his glory. No way. It’s the total opposite.”

– Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, when asked by CBS Sports’ Shannon Sharpe about his involvement in a double murder in Atlanta in 2000. The answer was not universally regarded as dispositive of the issue.
