Anyone has a handle

Where there is power, there will be transactions, power and money transactions. This is how the film made me feel.
Let's take a look at how the famous lawyer Mr. Finch won the lawsuit: excellent team (proficient in psychology, handwriting analysis and other masters), sufficient money (big profits and big spend, also considered a balance of payments), advanced The technology... So the jury members who were supposed to prevent cheating were bribed obediently. Whoever Finch wants to win will win, more than the judge.
The jury system in the United States seems to be more democratic (I don't know what the system in my country is), but these situations cannot be avoided. This is natural. Anyone has a handle to grasp, this is Finch's view, and it is also the basis for his feasibility to control everything. His work team exposed the privacy of each juror in broad daylight, and their mental defenses were self-defeating.
Although the final verdict was on the side of justice, if it wasn't for the efforts of East and his girlfriend Mary, who made the jurors judge according to their own conscience, who would have expected the result? Same loss.
Money can really control a lot of things.
