The protagonist of this story is an eighteen-year-old boy accused of murdering his own father. All the evidence points to the result that he is the murderer of his father. When the members of the jury expressed that there was no doubt about the result, one person stood up and said that he could not simply decide the life and death of a teenager who had experienced all kinds of hardships. Because he could not be sure of the facts, he doubted some of the evidence. This is how the story unfolds... The
ending is known to everyone, and the jury finally came to a unanimous conclusion that the juvenile was innocent. Whether such a reversal really exists in life, I don't know, if this story is true, then undoubtedly this teenager is lucky. Because his defense lawyers gave up on him, gave up his justice as a lawyer, failed to fulfill his defense responsibilities, doubted all kinds of evidence from the perspective of the defendant's innocence, and the testimony of witnesses directly pointed to the juvenile's guilt of. On the surface, the result is uncontroversial, but one member of the jury, out of insight into this situation, a trace of persistence in the beauty of human nature, and the courage to challenge social consensus, made it possible for things to turn around. In China, if there is no Weibo, no public indignation, and no public awareness, such as the mother-humiliating murder case, the Lijiang disfigurement case, the sudden death of a master's degree at the National People's Congress, etc., the parties who encounter these things may not be able to find inner peace for a long time.
I also suffered from my father's domestic violence as a child, and sometimes I also hate what happened to me, my father who did it to me, and my mother who was incapable of preventing it from happening. I remember that when I was in the fourth and fifth grade of elementary school, because I couldn’t stand my father’s beatings and scolding, I summoned the courage to call 110, hoping to seek help from the police. On the phone, he heard that I was a child and only asked me roughly. Where, I said that I was in XX, and then he said that the place was not under their control. There was a local police station, and he suggested that I go to them for help. But I still didn't give up, I hope they can come to help me, he may not be able to bear me, and finally promised me that they will come. I had been expecting them to come to my rescue, but in the end, they didn't show up.
Maybe it was from that time that I lost trust in the police. Looking back now, although I think it is understandable, at that time, it was a common thing for parents to beat their children. Whose children were not beaten up, and there was an old saying about a filial son under the stick. It can only be said that the times are changing. How I hope that the society that my children lived in can provide them with more sense of security. It will not happen when they are helpless and desperate. When they need help, they should be full of justice and selfless help. betrayed by the police.
Now I can also understand how great Lu Xun's choice of abandoning medicine and pursuing literature is in the textbook. For those people who cannot think independently and are used to following the crowd, we can only slowly guide and change their thoughts.
It is dramatic that most people change their views in such a short period of time in the movie, because they have the ability to think rationally and are willing to listen to the ideas of others. Of course, this is also because the jury selects the elites in the society class related. If it were someone like the type of people who kill people with their mouths on the Internet, the results may be completely different.
Sometimes what is the truth, no one knows, but as long as it is any possibility that threatens a person's life, we should treat it with dignity and respect.
Also, hold on.
