Three young men have been sent to prison by a jury and have been living in the shadow of execution for more than two decades. The real culprit has been at large for decades. Even though the various efforts of people from all walks of life to justify the verdict were really overturned a few years ago, these three young people have already spent their best years in prison.
The truth is still unknown, and justice has been absent.
The jury, who had been frightened by the unqualified forensic doctor, still firmly believes in the picture he described, even if it only exists in the mind of the "fake" forensic doctor. The judge who once handled this case was stubborn and said with a contemptuous smile, "There is no new evidence at all, and they are making a fool of themselves." The judge was finally elected to the Senate, and the people from all walks of life who rehabilitated the Gang of Three were actually loose. He breathed a sigh of relief—because this case would no longer be about this ignorant, stubborn old man. The lawyer who indignantly accused the three young men at the court trial is still calmly refusing to admit his mistake. Only the girl who was sent to seduce the main culprit cried to the camera eleven years later and said "I'm a big liar".
The child with mild mental retardation, after being interrogated in the morning until it was dark, would only follow the words of the police and start to make up stories after the psychological breakdown. The story in the mind of this simple child became a fact in the mouth of the law enforcement officers. For the other two children, no amount of circumstantial evidence and alibi seemed to help.
Authoritative forensic experts refuted the autopsy report of the "forensic doctor" that year, and the FBI experts who created behavioral criminology overturned the police's judgment of "Satan-worshiping crimes". Well-known director Peter Jackson invested a lot of energy in this case. And financial resources... in the eyes of those ignorant and stubborn law enforcement officers, they are just making a fool of themselves, and even smearing these people as sociopaths.
At the concert held for justice, justice people from all walks of life stood up and said to the group of people back then, "You are wrong." They read letters written in prison by three "criminals" who were no longer young. Singing a song written for three people and lighting a candle that represents hope for them is the coolest thing in my opinion.
After more than ten years of hard work, the freedom of three people has finally been exchanged. We can't help but think, if the jury of the year still had a shred of reason, and the forensic doctor and lawyer had a little conscience, what kind of life would these three young people have? Will Jason, who loves art, open his own art exhibition in New York? Will Damian, who is obsessed with magic, already be able to compete with the world's magic masters as he said, and will Jessie, who is not very smart, already be able to handle Dad's car alone? Repair the shop and live your own life peacefully?
Under the sinister and indifference of the human heart, in the swirling goose feather snow in June, we do not know.
