scapegoat
(n.) A scapegoat is an event person or object that is used to lay the blame on for all that goes wrong, regardless of the contributions of others. This will usually carry on until the scapegoat has gone, or has managed to successfully
defend itself against the arguements presented to it.The word comes from Judaism. During mass
reconciliation the rabbi would bring a goat to the alter. The sins of the people would be absorbed into the goat, and it would then be killed, its' blood staining the alter until cleansed. This is what Jesus Christ reflected in his crucifixion, being a scapegoat.(v.) to make the scapegoat

Scapegoat came from ancient times when the people of the village would imprint their "sins" on a
hapless goat and run it off a cliff; hence, the term came to mean blaming someone for other's faults. A
martyr can be considered the
scapegoat of the group he/she died for

Someone with that
absorbs the negative image others don't want for themselves, as most people want to make themselves look good at any cost to others.

Example:
The
scapegoat wasn't always going to be around to go to jail
for the real criminals. It doesn't have to be
25 to life for it to still cost somebody time they could be doing something else.
