It took a long time to finish watching the documentary intermittently.
Even in the United States, where the legal system is relatively sound, it can still hold the power to "make murderers."
Regardless of whether Steve Avery is guilty or not, the lawyer who should have tried his best to persuade him to plead guilty, be a prosecutor presumed guilty, a policeman who used hints to extract a confession from his nephew, and a defense lawyer who cooperated with the prosecutor. Coupled with the guidance of the media, the conclusion was made in advance, and public opinion also fell to the other side of Steve Avery.
Also, the orientation of the media controls public opinion, and I don't know if it is the orientation of this documentary. I can always see the ugliness of the media and the blindness of the people.
Jerry Buting and Dean Strang, I think I will always remember these two defense lawyers. I have watched many legal and political dramas, and defense lawyers are eloquent and eloquent in court, but I think they are not as exciting as these two. Just like a knight who is misunderstood but insists on justice in a martial arts novel, facing the crowd, he stands with his sword and kills the gods. In fact, it is not because they stand against public opinion when everyone thinks SA is a murderer, but because it is the duty of lawyers to choose to question, and it is the duty of lawyers to maintain justice. They have not forgotten this.
Dean Strang always had a compassionate look. After failing his defense, every time he mentioned SA and SA's nephew, his eyes were red and choked. I will always be moved by such scenes. A well-known criminal defense lawyer must have seen countless darkness and evil, but still has a heart of innocence. Even after the defense was over, he still ran for SA, trying to find evidence to initiate the retrial. I often think, if all legal persons are like DS, it would be great.
Now I would rather believe that SA really killed people. Otherwise, two people have been unjustly wronged in prison, while one murderer is at large.
How terrible.
