No crime

No, I would not take a punishment, even death to a crome I did not commit!  Confessing to something that I did not do would be like giving the periosn that did the crime, a get out of jail free card.  Why would someone want to help them out like that?  The pumishment could be bad?  You could prove your innocent, the punishment may not change,  people would think you did commit the crime.

Even though your getting punished for the crime, doesn't mean there is not a way out.  You could try to prove and show them you innocent.  There may be some evidence that shows you are not guilty.  The story may even change by new evidence and you could be proven not guilty.  Evidence you might even show can change the story and make it easier to find the person that did commit the crime. 

  Even though you did confess to the crime, the punishment might stay the same or the punishment may even get worse just because you confessed doesn't always change the judges mind about the punishment.  The time you spending on you punishment would be a waste.

If you did confess to a crome you did not commit.  People would think you did.  Even trying to pursuade people that you didn't commit the crome.  Alot of people my not believe you.  Confessing may also change teh way that people look at you.  You may also lose trust from friends and family or even relationships with friends and family.  Alot of people will probably look at you in a diffenent way.

That is why, NO!, I would not confess to a crime I did not commit. Relationships and trust could be lost.  The punishment may not change, and you could try to prove you didn't commit it.  Proving you  innocent would probably end up better in the end.
