In the past two years, the realistic themes of American TV series have reflected a lot of problems in the judicial system. Most of them describe cases from the public perspective of lawyers, media and so on. "Sin Night Run" is quite special. It describes the case from the perspective of the parties. Naz in the ghetto was accused of raping and murdering white women in the wealthy area. Because he is a Muslim, it also involves racial issues.
When the case began to attract media attention, there were well-known lawyers willing to defend Naz for free. This kind of big case can increase the lawyer's exposure and popularity. Because the police had a lot of evidence, the lawyer persuaded the client to turn himself in without serious research, and sought a 15-year prison term for him, but Natsu refused to plead guilty because he did not kill. The well-known lawyer was very angry and told him, I want to kill myself. about you! Freedom and justice don't matter, she is a typical representative in the American judicial system, and for my own benefit, I can kill you with the law.
The core of this film is the change of the person during the trial process. Innocent is described as guilty, and the psychological trauma caused to this person is irreparable even if he is finally proven innocent. Before he was imprisoned, Natsu was a good student. After the court trial and the media exposure, everyone felt that he was guilty. He even really doubted whether he was an indirect murderer because he did not save the girl. Turning innocent people into criminals is more than just a sentence.
The most interesting thing is to contrast injustice in court with justice in prison. For the sake of "quick action", the judicial system just wants to quickly use the available evidence to decide the case, and does not care about justice. In the prison, a gang leader forced his younger brother to perform oral sex on him, leading to suicide. The gang leader avenged his younger brother's grievances, one life for another. In a prison full of criminals, there are still people who pursue justice.
When Natsu was turned into a "sinner" by the judicial system, even his closest mother wondered if he "raised a beast". But in prison, the gang boss trusted him, because in a prison full of sinners, everyone said they were innocent, but the really innocent people could see at a glance that the gang boss thought he was "a unicorn" beast". In the free world of good people, people cannot distinguish between good and evil; in the prison where bad people are imprisoned, there is a clear distinction between good and evil.
After Natsu was acquitted, he returned home and on the street, and found that there was no trust between his family members and passers-by were not friendly. He could no longer go back to the past. The court tried a person innocent, but actually put him in prison in disguise. He lived in the prison of the world as a free man, and it made him see clearly that prisons are everywhere, you can be guilty at any time, this country The law is like the Statue of Liberty in the fish tank. If you don't talk and don't think about it, you are a free fish. When you see the fish tank, you realize that you are just a dumb fish who can't speak.
He sat by the seaside and took drugs, and found that the prison is the place where good and evil are clearly defined. The darker the place, the less light can be hidden, and the more sunny the place is, there is darkness everywhere.
