The prisoner, who was given a life sentence, merely requested to visit his newborn son: However, as soon as he held the infant, an unforeseen circumstance occurred 
The judge looked down at his papers and announced, “The court has decided: you are found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment.”
After a while, he asked, “Does the defendant have any final words?”
The orange-uniformed man’s eyes went up. His voice faltered:
— Your Honor… Could I ask for something? I want to visit my son. I was already incarcerated when he was born. He’s never been in my arms.
After pausing, the judge glanced at the guards and gave a silent nod. The door opened. A weary-looking young lady walked into the courtroom. She had a little infant in her arms.
She moved in closer. The man’s handcuffs were taken off by the authorities. He took the baby cautiously, as though he was worried about accidentally hurting him.
For the first time in a long time, tears fell down his cheeks. He gently spoke as he held the infant to his chest:
I beg you to pardon me.
Everyone was silent, even the guards, the jurors, and the judge. You could hear the baby’s respiration because of how quiet everything was. However, something unexpected occurred at that same moment 
The man looked up abruptly:
– I must speak the truth. That man wasn’t killed by me. My brother was involved. I couldn’t betray him because he was intoxicated that evening. I accepted responsibility.
The courtroom was filled with a murmur. The judge’s face became white. The woman held the infant close to her chest and covered her mouth with her hand.
I believed I could cope with being so distant from my son and my family. Now that I’m holding him, though— he glanced at the infant, — I understand that my family is the most important thing.
The adjournment of the session was mandated by the judge. The case was revisited a week later.
Additionally, the picture of the dad holding his son in his arms while wearing his jail uniform was published in newspapers all over the world that day.
He was no longer a criminal at that point.
He was a father who had made the decision to speak the truth at long last.
