A lot of questions

I saw this movie a long time ago, but I shouldn't see the ending. So from the beginning, I knew that the actor was innocent, but he was misled, thinking that Rusty's boss framed him. Because Caroline was investigating a case at the time, the truth may have offended him and killed him. And Rusty's boss backtracked to testify that Rusty also deepened this impression. The judge suspended the trial on the grounds of insufficient evidence because he did not want to be bribed.

So, magically, Rusty was saved. Several shortcomings in the judiciary are undoubtedly exposed. Lawyers only serve clients, so that the client's words "I am not guilty" will be regarded as stupid behavior, because no one believes it. The lawyer disregarded justice in order to get the money. Rusty's Pal ventured to eliminate evidence for him when he was convinced of Rusty's murder. The judge even accepted bribes and violated judicial justice when threatening his own interests.

Apart from these, there are still many doubts: Why did Rusty’s boss accuse him? Why framed that he took the initiative to ask for this case? If the semen and fingerprints on the cups found at the scene were all Rusty (Barbara carefully placed them), how could the evidence be insufficient? There is still jingye without a cup. Just because of the jingye inside the deceased's body, why did he come to the conclusion of rape? And why doesn't the anatomy doctor follow the preface? In the end, why did Babara frame her husband? Didn't she see her husband being tortured and want to surrender? As for the big bug of retaining the tools of crime, I won't talk about it.

There are too many questions about this film, or I need to watch it a second time.

    The portrayal of the characters' psychology is very good, and there are many descriptions of justice and ethics. The ending was a bit unexpected, but not hard to guess.
