      crowd imagination

      Crowds always turn a blind eye to the facts, they always see only what they think they should see or what they want to see.

      In the McMartin case, there were as many as 60 children who testified. However, various facts have proved that the testimony of the group is extremely unreliable. The facts that are proven by the more people are often the most absurdly wrong. In McMartin's case, the group's sense of expectation drives the development of the case. Crowds are...

      persistent love

      Yesterday I was working in a hotel, and I saw this film by chance. It was broadcast on HBO, and it has never been titled. I just searched it and said that the translation is "Endless Complaint", which is very good. For friends, it is a good case education film. From the litigation technology, from how the education rate is perceptually understanding what it is to love one's own profession, love one's own client, it is very beneficial, and finally, if anyone can tell me how to buy the genuine...

      In a word, a picture, we can see everything we want to see; we who are righteous, spurn and hunt evil. (PS: The two works of this director that I watched were narrated in a single line of the timeline, and they were too...

      Remember to read it. 4+ At the end of the credits, the children's voices are smeared in the religious background music, like the final lines of the grandmother: people don't listen to God, they are busy watching...

      People stopped listening to God and believed in TV. It's a black and white world, whether it's the media, prosecutors, children, social institutions... there are both devils and angels. And here, seven years ago, I cut off my arm and no longer participates in criminal defense business, and I am also out of the three-year sports battle. For a lawyer, it is a helpless...

    • Woman in courtroom: [as the defendants enter the courtroom] Perfect typecasting. They could be Buchenwald guards.

    • Danny Davis: When you're accused of child molesting, everything's a crime.

    • Peggy Buckey: And they don't care that they've ruined our lives. And not just ours -- the parents, the children. How come God couldn't stop it?

      Virginia McMartin: Oh, no. Don't blame God. What happened to us was all the work of people. God wasn't let into it. Who had the time to stop and listen to God? They were all too busy watching television.
