Stillwater City: Three Billboards for Father's Edition
The same homicide caused the destruction of several families. Unlike the three billboards, the connotation of judicial justice and the pursuit of justice is expressed in dramatic conflicts. Pure Water River is to show the attitudes of the perpetrators behind the murders, the victims, the families behind the third parties and the public in the ordinary trivial life trivia. Although it is not as vigorous as the three billboards, it is very real and moves people's hearts with details.
The legal issues worth noting are: first, whether the male protagonist whose relatives concealed the crime of unlawful detention became an accomplice of the crime of unlawful detention?
I remember that the legal history teacher said in the last semester of freshman year that relatives who help criminals to conceal their crimes should not be convicted as accomplices, because it is against human nature to give up family members who are criminals, and it is not conducive to maintaining social stability, because family is the foundation of society.
This is why the criminal law stipulates that relatives who help criminals surrender themselves are also eligible for surrender, so as to encourage relatives to actively report criminal family members, instead of adding legal provisions to convict family members who conceal criminal information. Of course, although it does not constitute an accomplice in the crime committed by the criminal, it can constitute other crimes such as the crime of obstructing official duties.
Second, does the daughter constitute an instigator of intentional homicide? It has been emphasized that motives do not affect conviction. The daughter had no motive for killing her girlfriend, which did not affect the conviction of intentional homicide. In this case, it is often necessary to analyze the specific situation in detail. After the quarrel, the daughter asked the Arab boy (if the accomplice was established, the perpetrator of intentional homicide) to drive his girlfriend out of the house forever and pay the Arab boy a gold chain. Based on the plot of the quarrel, the value of the golden chain and the word forever, under the judgment of the objective situation, it can be identified as the instigator of intentional homicide. However, there was no direct or indirect evidence such as audio recordings at the scene. According to the principle of judgment in favor of the perpetrator when the criminal law is in doubt, as well as the 90% reasonable doubt standard of foreign justice, the daughter has no evidence to prove that she constitutes an instigator.
The French penal system is also worth exploring. A criminal law teacher said that the community corrections system is a kind of progress in Chinese punishment, which is helpful for criminals to better contact the society after their release from prison and reduce the possibility of re-offending. But this system only applies to misdemeanors in China. The French penal system reflected in the play allows the daughter who is guilty of intentional homicide to be released on parole for one day a month after being guaranteed.
The film is slow-paced, reflecting the fact that the process of collecting evidence is a little bit of life. It also tells us that in the face of setbacks, we must do a good job in life and have a firm goal in order to obtain the final victory.
