Red wine and soy sauce make a murderer

There are seven sufferings in Buddhism: birth, aging, sickness and death, meeting of resentments, separation of love, and not being able to seek. Henry Young didn't miss a beat. In fact, think about it, in one's life, only a few lucky people will not experience it all. I know the joy won't last long, and the pain won't last long.

My high school class teacher made such an interesting argument during the special period of high school. He said: A person's life is like drinking a cup of medicine, it is very bitter and bitter, you drink more now, and drink less in the future. I'm thinking that Henry Young, like everyone else, has been drinking this indeterminate cup of medicine since birth. When he stole the five dollars, the law poured him a little more medicine; when he escaped, the law poured a little more; and then the warden and the guards thought, how can a vicious criminal, a criminal who threatens my family, only drink so much A little, it's like adding soy sauce to red wine, they crossed the legal boundary and poured a little more into it. They made a murderer.

How long is the sentence for stealing five dollars? Is it worth jailbreaking? How bitter is the medicine that the law pours in for the first time? Does the law itself transcend boundaries? Does jailbreak require three years and two months in a dungeon? Is it enough for senior officials who fail to perform their supervisory powers to be affected by their careers? If the human rights of criminals are not guaranteed, how far will the Constitution guarantee citizens to be free from fear?

"Monkey" is mentioned earlier in the film. It's a term used by prosecutors who are sarcastic or rookie defense attorneys. Then came the defense attorney's first meeting with the accused. I think most people who watched the movie at the time probably thought of "monkey" to describe Henry Young. Darwin's theory of evolution believes that it takes hundreds of millions of years to change from an ape to a human. How to turn people into "monkeys"? The warden in the film knows. What a great man.

It has to be mentioned that the defense lawyer in the film is basically not absolutely blocked when collecting evidence. He has seen potential witnesses, he has also seen the dungeon, and he can even find the registration certificate of the supervisor landing on the island. . In our country, it was not until the third revision of the Criminal Procedure Law in 2012 that the lawyer's right to meet and review the file was improved in legislation; and the principle of respecting and protecting human rights was written into the Criminal Procedure Law.

I wonder what it means to lose a name? Who does a lawyer with a sense of justice serve? Is he pursuing the client's interests or his own justice? What is victory? What exactly does humanitarianism mean? It seems to me that the jury, the judge and the lawyer have not spared him from fear, is there only one prison in the bigger America that can hold a Henry Young for three years?

Henry Young was not sentenced to death by law, but life gave the sentence. Death and freedom are a relief, the former is too cheap, the latter too expensive.

I know the joy won't last long, and the pain won't last long.

He ended up with nothing, and he ended up richer than everyone else.
