Klay De watched the thugs Darby and Ami mutilate his wife and daughter, but the main culprit, Darby, was only sentenced to 10 years in prison because of insufficient evidence and his "deal" with prosecutor Nick. Clyde is angry, he wants to avenge his family, he wants to fight for justice, he wants to destroy the "rotten" judicial system. Nick asked Clyde, "What principles do you follow when you torture and kill people?" Clyde replied, "Everyone must be responsible for their actions." Everyone must be responsible for their actions, which is goodness Evil pays off in the end, and this is justice. Relatives were murdered by thugs with impunity, do you want revenge? I said yes. What about retaliation for breaking the law? I am silent, or I am willing to accept legal punishment. In the end, Nick was "one foot higher", and Clyde was killed by the bomb he detonated, and then had a "happy" ending with his wife and daughter.
This movie was meant to be watched, but Xunlei looked at the comments that overwhelmingly supported Clyde's curse on Nick and the judicial system, and gave himself the urge to say a few more words. Because Clyde is likely to make untrue descriptions due to factors such as panic, hatred, etc., the judge did not accept his testimony [To our audience, Clyde is a helpless judge and is dazed because We read the previous paragraph about the violence of the thugs, but the judge did not read it. The judge needs evidence and rules of evidence to determine the facts.] Is this wrong? [Don't blame the judge for being dizzy, blame the police for being incompetent, a crime will definitely leave clues, why can't you find evidence? You look at Sherlock Holmes...] To use a familiar saying, this is the "suspected crime" in criminal law. To put it bluntly, it means that a good person will never be wronged, but Clyde doesn't think so, he wants to "would rather kill by mistake" 10,000 people will not let anyone go.” If the judge also puts “justice” first and ignores the incompleteness and lack of the evidence chain, what will be the consequences? Bad guys get the punishment they deserve, and what else? It is estimated that there will be thousands of She Xianglins in the United States. By the way, the American one is called Andy (The Shawshank Redemption Male No. 1).
American law is known by the world, we know Simpson's wife murder case and almost everyone will recite "you have the right to remain silent. If you do not keep silent, then everything you say can be used as a complaint in court. Your evidence", all cases where "bad guys" are at large. U.S. Justice Holmes famously said, "Criminals who escape justice are far less sinful than the despicable and illegal actions of the government." Insufficient evidence, we can ask and hope that police uncles will improve their detection capabilities, but if "justice" is abused , what can protect our individual safety? Defense lawyers speak to bad guys and bury them alive; judges sentence too lightly, cell phone bombs; the judiciary "deals" with bad guys, car bombs... If the relatives of those killed by Clyde also take revenge in the name of "justice", What will be the situation? In Western law, "due process of law" is a very important concept, which implies such a fear that the government may use official power to violate the individual rights of citizens. When fairness and justice conflict, fairness takes precedence over justice.
In the film, Nick also reflects and blames himself. "When I was young, I wanted to change the judicial system. I wanted to fight and do my best at any cost. But here is a step, a step there, and finally I fall into it. Then I realized that the judicial system I wanted to change has changed me." I let myself down. The real strength of America's greatness comes from the good legal and institutional system they have inherited -- a system, some say, designed by geniuses and run by fools. Don't say that "Law Abiding Citizen" is about the reality of China. The reality of China is that the judicial power is far weaker than the executive power, but in China, Clyde should be satisfied, because Darby's fate is obvious, only Clyde I don't know when I will become Andy.
Note: Plea Bargaining, also known as Plea Negotiation or Plea Agreement, refers to the fact that before the court hearing in a criminal proceeding, the prosecutor who brought the complaint, in exchange for the defendant to make a guilty plea, offers more money than the original accusation. A judicial system formed by negotiating and negotiating with the defendant (usually through a lawyer) outside the courtroom on the condition that the charge of a lesser crime or the reduction of the accusation crime, or the promise to make a sentencing recommendation beneficial to the defendant to the judge. Because both the prosecution and the defense are striving for the best conditions that are beneficial to themselves, there will be a bargaining situation in the process of negotiation and negotiation, and both parties will have to make concessions to varying degrees, so it is called plea bargaining. Plea bargaining is a widely used method of litigation in the United States for handling criminal cases.
