Murder in the First--Victory and Justice is Death

I don't know if this film is based on real events, and it's aimed at the dark side of the American judicial system, especially what's going on inside prisons. Prisoners, lawyers, and wardens make up the main thread of the whole story. Although it is about the 1940s, it still has a strong warning effect today. First-degree murder under US law is similar to direct intentional homicide under our country's law. The sentence for first-degree murder is the heaviest. In the end, I also wondered why...

Red wine and soy sauce make a murderer

There are seven sufferings in Buddhism: birth, aging, sickness and death, meeting of resentments, separation of love, and not being able to seek. Henry Young didn't miss a beat. In fact, think about it, in one's life, only a few lucky people will not experience it all. I know the joy won't last long, and the pain won't last long.

My high school class teacher made such an interesting argument during the special period of high school. He said: A person's life is like drinking a cup of...

Reality is too helpless

Although the real case is very different from the movie, such a plot is not an exaggeration. Every time I watch such movies that reflect social reality, I have a deep sense of depression, so I always hope that the bad guys will get their retribution in the end, just like the kind of exhilarating I see when watching The Shawshank Redemption. People rely on literary and artistic works because the reality is not satisfied. Otherwise, why do everyone hope that the ending is a happy ending? When a...

Heaven is far away

Several weeks ago, I made up my mind to watch at least one legal movie and TV show every week, for no other reason than to go to law school.
  Before I officially entered the school, I watched "The Lawyer Garo" and "The True Color of a Lawyer". Under the gray defense lens, I suddenly understood why there is the right to defense and cross-examination. When a person is traced back by the state apparatus, only defense lawyers are behind him, fighting with all their strength."
   So...

lawyer's conscience

First of all, this is a heroic lawyer that only appears in the common law system.
In China, at least in court, there is no such fierce confrontation.
We are an inquisitorial court, and our lawyers are well behaved and honest.

But the source of such grievances is not uncommon in China—
similar to heavy sentences for a few dollars.

As a legal scholar in China, and as a lawyer who wants to work as a lawyer, I
can only express my sadness in my heart,...

"Compared to my last home, this is already heaven." Kevin Bacon performed alone. (It's still just America in the 1930s, the most powerful germ of the human rights...

More than a thousand days can be described as a blink of an eye, or it can be said to be a long way off. The key depends on how you live, where you are, what kind of psychological quality you have, and how much you can control your own mentality. It's too dangerous on earth and it's a long way to...

A mediocre film that expresses a noble theme doesn't make a film out of mediocrity either. Let me tell you two jokes, in the United States, lawyers can go to prison in order to find evidence of abuse for prisoners, or they can sue the prison and the government, hahaha hammer the...
