"I did confess; but I confessed a lie. I confessed, that I might obtain absolution;but now that falsehood lies heavier at my heart than all my other sins."
I don't want to think about the awful relationship between Frankenstein and creature anymore. Justine has an excellent moral compass. According to her, even lying about committing the crime is enough to make her feel worthy of death. She cared more about the status of her religion than people's opinion of her as a person. More than anything she wanted to be right with God and that is admirable. The fact that the lie is hurting her so much leads me to believe she is innocent. I love Creature too so I don't think it was it(?) either, but she would not have given this long ornate speech about her awful sin if it weren't true. No one was expecting her to give such a speech because it had already been decided that she was the killer and people were content with that. She literally could not hold the hurt caused by the lie in anymore.
