Mercy of justice | kill that robin

At the beginning of the story, Uncle Mario lived his life peacefully.

Unexpectedly, misfortune would come from the sky. Mario, who had a successful career, went to jail. Not to mention saving the princess, he was also a mud bodhisattva who crossed the river.

But what is going on here?

It is probably this "policeman" who really knows the "truth".

The people's police for the people, such a belief, did not exist for the old beauty at that time. The police got dark, and even the black people were scared.

When a white man was killed, in the context of the time, solving the case as soon as possible with civilian anger was the primary task. It was also a "conventional method" to pull a black man back. As far as the fact is, it is not important at all.

However, if a complete "chain of evidence" needs to be prepared, the police can still do "some things".

Intimidation, coercion, perjury.

These things also happened in the "free" America.

It's just that these so-called evidences are not on the table after all.

When a witness has inconsistent testimony, which one would you choose?

Since the first testimony may be perjury made by intimidation or coercion, is it possible that the second testimony may have been perjury made by intimidation or coercion?

With this reason, the authorities ceremoniously rejected the complaint, and the reason was fairly high-sounding.

If the background of "black people" is involved, the story becomes even more helpless.

A black lawyer who chose to defend death row prisoners really violated the taboo among the taboos.

However, things always need someone to do it.

If everyone takes the so-called "for granted" choice for granted, then there is no so-called "hope".

This lawyer can stand in court, and the humiliation he has experienced is not enough for outsiders.

A society dominated by fear and anger cannot speak of real democracy and freedom. This is the "root of the country" that no old beauty can deny.

Therefore, the witness at the time chose to face it bravely.

Therefore, the prosecutor at the time chose to face the facts.

At the end of the story, Uncle Mario finally got rid of his injustice.

However, the story does not end.

In fact, as an authority, in the face of such a big stall, mistakes are inevitable.

The key is to look after the error is discovered.

Whether to choose to cover up, or to choose from point to surface.

In this case, at least three questions are reflected: whether the chain of evidence is the so-called "iron proof"; whether blacks should be "specially treated"; whether the death penalty should be abolished.

Fortunately, most of the problems slowly improved at the end of the story, or we can witness through time.

Perhaps this is hope.
