Ruth made the ultimate sacrifice to keep Katie safe from a life as a criminal.

The lack of response is actually because her sister doesn’t remember being the one who pulled the trigger on the cop. In fact, her sister barely even remembers Ruth’s existence at all. Katie's adoptive parents haven’t done anything to help her connect the dots either.

Ruth is initially sentenced to 60 years in prison, but she gets released after 20 years for good behavior exhibited behind bars.
After getting released, her parole officer drops her off at her new Chinatown apartment and offers her a job at the local seafood packaging factory. Article continues below advertisement
Ruth has dreams of working as a carpenter instead, but no one in her town is willing to offer her such a position — or even any sympathy — since she’s been labeled a “cop killer." Her grim reality is what she was wholeheartedly trying to protect Katie from as a youngster.

Is justice ever served in ' The Unforgivable'
Ruth served time in prison for a crime she did not commit. Her sister Katie, on the other hand, spent that time living a full and carefree life outside of prison – and unaware of the cold, hard truth.

The cop that was killed in Unforgivable died because Katie chose to pull the trigger. Ruth had nothing to do with it.
In the end, Katie doesn’t end up in prison for what happened, but the final scenes suggest that she does get the bulk of her childhood memories back since she experiences a series of flashbacks. From Ruth's perspective, taking the fall for her sister was never something she had to think twice about. She always knew she wanted to protect Katie no matter what the circumstances were.
