The latest development of the case

When brushing his teeth in the morning, my husband rushed into the bathroom and told me that he had just seen from the Internet that Brandon’s case had been reversed on the 12th. If the prosecutors cannot produce new evidence for three months, the 25-year-old child will be imprisoned for nine years. After being released, does it also mean that his uncle, who has been squatting for 27 years, is also expected to clear his grievances. It's rare to see him so excited, and you can see the impact this heaven-defying documentary has brought to people. Ten hours of evidence collection and debate materials should be very boring, but non-professionals stayed up all night to read it in one breath, not only because of the bizarre facts of the case, but also because the darkness of the judicial system revealed by it makes everyone feel restless. Every time I watched an episode, I was extremely depressed. For a person studying law, the greatest sorrow is to find that the procedures and systems on which I believe and rely are not working, making people feel powerless and helpless. It’s very gratifying that in this documentary, the prosecution and defense and the victim behaved very calmly and rationally. No one incited the media or petitioned for petitions. Instead, they firmly fought for power under the existing system. Even if there are flaws in the people in this system, it still works well and is worthy of the people's belief. In the end, it has returned to its due role. The legal staff and the film crew have supported the protagonist for 10 years, and sincerely hope that their persistence will not only change this tragedy.
