Anthony was first charged, he was charged with attempted murder (his wife has not yet). Because there was no evidence, when he was acquitted and
prosecuted for the second time, his wife was already dead. The charge of his charge was first-degree murder. A new case and a new charge are not against the law, the principle of no trial for one crime. Of course he cannot be sued for the murder by pulling out his ventilator, so he has to re-collect evidence and prosecute him for shooting his wife to death. The evidence of the gun and bullets are found.
Remember the first time Anthony had already pleaded guilty (confession), why the judge found him guilty Is the book invalid? This is the fruit of the poisonous tree, because the police officer who arrested him and asked him to sign the confession had a personal grievance with him (giving him a green hat), and the judge had reason to suspect that he had obtained the confession by extorting a confession illegally. This is just like the fruit that grows on a poisonous tree. If a legal trial is conducted based on this illegally obtained confession, the result of the trial is also illegal. Therefore, the confession cannot be used as evidence at the trial, so Xiao Gao had to rebuild. Go for evidence.
The law in the United States is so funny. There were two people at the scene of the crime. One of them was shot. The one who fired must be the exception. This is common sense and everyone in the world knows. But common sense cannot convince the jury that only evidence can convict a person.
The prisoner's own confession is of course important evidence. However, American law is very cautious about the use of confessions. The famous Miranda Ordinance (the right to remain silent...) is to prevent suspects from being illegally extracted and self-incriming. The US law is rigorous to the sense that it is protecting the murderer. In many cases, everyone knows that the murderer is him, but if there is no evidence, the legal process can prove that he is indeed the murderer and persuade the jury, then he still cannot be convicted.
This is how Anthony in this film took advantage of the law, and almost got away with it when the facts of the crime were clear. In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the United States. The most famous American "Simpson case" is the most famous American "Simpson case." After being found not guilty, he even published a book describing the process of committing the crime, which is a stark provocation and mockery of the American judicial system.
But is the American judicial system really so unbearable? Suspect as an individual or organization, compared with the entire state apparatus is still too small, in order to ensure a fair trial and the rights of suspects, institutional use must be strictly limited to national judicial rights, so as to achieve a sense of fair
Think If the case in the film happened in China, how would the prosecutors work so hard to find a gun and directly keep Anthony from sleeping for 3 days. It is estimated that he will have all the tricks himself, and he will be shot directly, and everyone is happy. However, although this system shot and killed an Anthony, it will create countless injustices
to Dou E. In order to be fair, we have to give up part of the justice.
