Dedicated to lawyers defending human rights across China

The title is the last sentence of the Chinese subtitle. I am dumbfounded.
Handsome James reappeared. The last time I saw him was a young professor in the X-Men, and the last time he was a sad soldier in Atonement. Only this time, he had a beard and stopped being handsome, although his blue eyes were still as charming.
As a law student, a movie like "Accomplice" is undoubtedly a good tutoring textbook. What is justice and what is fair, I was tortured here. If you don't go into it, most people will think that justice = fairness. But in this movie, the two are opposed.
A Yankee has pleaded not guilty to a Southern woman accused of taking part in the assassination of the president. It's hard. The crime of common indignation will undoubtedly stimulate the majority, who have always been good at onlookers and booing, and everyone thinks that they have the right to deprive another person of life in the name of justice.
I remember that when studying criminal procedure law, the teacher repeatedly emphasized the importance of procedural justice in class. The procedure is illegal, and even if the suspect pleads guilty, the trial is invalid. This point cannot be overemphasized. Therefore, while exercising the rights entrusted by the people, the public prosecution agency must not forget that even if the other party has no room for defense, it must give him a chance to defend himself, and must be careful to prove the crime of the accusation.
Because this is a fundamental right granted to every citizen by the Constitution. If you can deprive others of this right today in the name of justice, others can deprive you of that right tomorrow.
Defense lawyers safeguard not only the interests of the parties, but also the justice of the entire judicial system. In fact, this fairness should be jointly maintained by all parts of the entire system, including the prosecution and the defense, as well as judges.
The Constitution is the fundamental law, not something that should be left on the shelf, as if it existed in legends. To uphold the Constitution is to protect each of us. Otherwise, the tragic fate of the heroine will continue to repeat itself on us and on our descendants.

    After watching the whole film, I always feel depressed, and the process of judicial justice always has injustice. Is it the pleasure of revenge or the fairness of reason, if we can't see the whole picture, what choice will we make. Yimei's performance is in place, and she wants to abandon the established history and see a miracle at the last moment.

    Although it's a legal theme, I can barely talk about it, but because of the relationship between the age and this theme, I often get distracted when I watch it, and I don't see it very much. This film is really average to me.
