Recently, the second instance of Wu Yifan's case upheld the original verdict.
Unexpectedly, there was a whitewashing voice on the Internet again-
80% of unjust cases are ** cases. 」
Such a statement, of course, is untenable.
*The proportion of unjust cases is not high.
On the contrary, according to Mr. Luo Xiang——
In fact, there are a large number of criminal black numbers, and a large number of ** cases have not entered the judicial system. 」
Those who want to whitewash Wu Yifan are probably wishful thinking.
However, the discussion also drew attention to the unjust cases.
A piece of data was brought up again-
Since 2012, when the state promulgated a legal document to prevent unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, in the following four years, the number of unjust cases reported has been as high24 up
The average length of time from arrest to acquittal17 years
Among them, there are 6 cases of being wronged for more than 20 years, and the longest is as high as 27 years.
You can scroll up and down to view it.
I'm sure everyone should be just like me.
We do not want to allow hateful criminals to get away with it, nor do we want innocent people to be wronged.
But many times, as an ordinary person, you really can't get the truth for a while.
Recently, a new South Korean film tells the story of a major unjust case.
After watching the movie, Uncle Yu's mood couldn't calm down for a long time, and he also thought a lot.
Today, I'm going to take you to see them
"The Boys".
The cast of this film is all familiar faces.
South Korea's national-level veteran drama bone, a thousand-faced actorXue Jingqiu
became popular because of the villain of "Squid Game".Xu Chengtai
With the role of the aunt in "Dark Glory", it became popular all over the InternetLian Huilan
DirectorZheng Zhiyong, and is a pivotal figure in the Korean New Wave.
Throughout his creations, from "Southern Army", "White War", to "Broken Arrow".
His excavation of the dark side of society has made him known as a master of social criticism films.
Broken Arrow" this time, "Teenagers", tooBased on real events
The story begins on a rainy night in 1999.
In a dark alley, three teenagers fled in the rain.
It was dark and the road was slippery, and one of the boys accidentally fell to the ground.
In the dim light, several pieces of jewelry could be faintly seen, falling from him.
At the urging of his companions, he hurriedly picked up his things and quickly fled the scene.
Immediately after, the camera slowly pans to a closed supermarket on the side of the road.
Inside, a woman is being taped ** and is struggling desperately.
Beside her, her young daughter cried loudly.
At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed through the window, and the room was instantly illuminated.
Against the backdrop of electric light, it was obvious that the old woman lying in the back room had lost her breath.
Obviously, this is all togetherRobbery and homicide
Such an evil act soon caused a sensation in society.
Everyone is worried that the next victim will not be themselves.
Fortunately, this time South Korea is quite powerful.
Five days after the incident, the three juveniles involved in the case were arrested.
According to the investigation, it was found that they had stolen something from someone else's house more than once before.
This time the crime is obviously a bigger appetite.
Facing the camera of **, there was not the slightest remorse on the faces of the three teenagers.
Even,One of them smiled at reporters
is obviously a heinous murder**, but he dares to show an attitude of indifference.
In the face of such a distorted human nature, the people are angry and hope to be severely punished.
However, they are protected by the status of minors.
Even if such a heinous crime is committed, it will only be sentenced in the end3 6 yearsof prison sentences.
*, the case gradually came to an end.
It has been a year since the incident.
At that time, the police officers who were in charge of handling the case were all promoted.
In order to fill the vacancy in the police force, Xue Jingqiu played itOfficer HuangTransferred here.
Unexpectedly, before the person sat down, he received an anonymous **.
The other party said,I want to report the real murderer in the supermarket
As soon as these words came out, Officer Huang's detective instinct instantly awakened.
Turned his head and asked his companion about the details of the crime.
Unexpectedly, this question turned out to be a shocking melon.
Actually, at the scene of the crime,**I didn't find the slightest clue
The surviving victim was unable to see the appearance of ** because it was getting late.
Just when everyone is at a loss, the one in charge of the caseOfficer Choi(played by Yoo Jun-sang) suddenly caught three suspects.
In just a few days, they got their confession and the case was closed.
Such a smooth process of handling the case deepened the doubts in Officer Huang's heart.
He retrieved the previous case materials for review.
Sure enough, he really found Huadian.
First, the evidence is biased.
According to the surviving information of **, the three teenagers broke into the supermarket by breaking the door lock at that time.
But in the confession, it is said that they slipped in through the wall.
What's even more strange is that when Officer Huang visited and questioned, he learned from the suspect's father:
The screwdriver, which was alleged to be the tool of the crime, was not taken out by the boy on the night of the crime.
The investigation of the crime scene** was also removed from the list of evidence by unknown persons.
Secondly, the suspect is incompetent.
After Officer Huang's investigation, he found that one of the suspects existedMental retardation
That is, the one who smiled in the face of ** and then was blamed.
According to his sister, his brother was illiterate who could not even write his own name.
In this way, the confession written by the prisoner himself in the evidence must have another hidden meaning.
From the current standpoint, it may seem that the verdict in this case is a bit outrageous.
But in fact, there are not a few unjust cases caused by similar reasons.
Take, for example, the 24 unjust cases mentioned in the opening data.
Enough17 upAll of them were corrected because the facts were unclear and the evidence was insufficient, accounting for a high proportion
In the era of backward forensic technology, the search for the truth is far more complicated than we think.
After getting such an important clue, Officer Huang naturally would not give up.
In order to get clear evidence, he decided to meet with the three suspects in person.
At first, the teenagers were very resistant to his visit.
Until he put the evidence he found in front of the children and said that he would help them clear their grievances.
Only then did they let their guard down and slowly tell the truth.
It turned out,The so-called evidence is all forged
In order to conclude the case as soon as possible and make meritorious contributions, Officer Cui locked them up and abused them to the extreme.
As a last resort, they can only bend into tricks and suffer unjustified injustice.
got the confessions of the three teenagers, and the real murderer was basically locked.
Just as Officer Huang was about to reveal the truth, Officer Cui, who is now in an important position, intervened to obstruct him.
not only transferred him from his post, but even blackmailed the children to confess again.
Under the oppression of power, it seems that it will be difficult for this unjust case to be redressed.
Korean movies dare to shoot is nothing new.
"Teenagers' attack on law enforcement corruption also seems to be a bit cliché.
It's no wonder that netizens in the Douban comment area said that it was a good work ten years ago.
Having said that, Uncle Yu was really heartbroken after reading it.
If we say that we are eager for quick success, the falsification of evidence undermines the fairness of the judiciary.
The teenagers who were unjustly imprisoned were ruined their lives.
Adolescence, who should have been educated, was forced to be locked up with prisoners.
Even if the prison will provide them with access to education, the impact on them cannot be ignored.
After being released from prison, there is a lack of knowledge and skills, coupled with a long period of disconnection from society.
The only occupations they can engage in are some basic manual labor.
What touched Uncle Yu even more was that Officer Huang went to the home of one of the teenagers to investigate.
Hanging on the wall is the certificate of the child that he has received.
The originally bright future was all ruined because of unjust cases.
In addition to being restricted in their work, they also have to suffer in lifeDiscrimination in society
In the film, there are students in the taekwondo gym where the teenagers work who lose the cost of making up Xi classes.
Without saying a word, the parents and the curator thought that they had stolen the money.
The reason is also very simple, the two have a history of robbery and murder.
Seeing that the dispute is getting bigger and bigger.
The other party even thinks that if the problem is not solved as soon as possible, the teenagers may kill people out of anger.
Malicious speculations like this have long been common for them.
Because of this concern, even if there is a girl you like, you can't go any further.
After all, his life is already devastated.
Why let another person be vilified along with it.
It is precisely because of this that Officer Huang, who constantly avenges his children, is particularly valuable.
He did not hesitate to be the enemy of the entire police community, sacrificing his family and life, just to let the wronged be an upright person.
After 17 years, they finally waited for justice to come.
But, is that enough?
In an interview, director Zheng Zhiyong once mentioned the reason for choosing this unjust case as the material-
I think this is an event that cannot be ignored. We need to rethink whether the inaction and indifference of the time contributed to such misconduct.It sounds like Shen Zhaoxue is really cool.
But in fact, the reasons why most wrongful convictions are redressed are very accidental.
Similar to the surrender of the real murderer in the movie, the emergence of new evidence is a low-probability event.
Looking at the reasons for the redress of unjust cases in China, in addition to the unremitting appeals of relatives, most of them also rely on strong external cooperation.
Like a sensationalNie Shubin** homicide case
Except that his mother insisted on complaining for 12 years.
* Extensive coverage and numerous lawyers relaying their appeals are indispensable.
But the problem is that he has already been executed, and his life is irretrievable.
It seems unrealistic to completely eradicate the existence of unjust cases.
Fortunately, our judicial system is still improving.
Pay attention to evidence, and never doubt the guilt.
To a certain extent, it is also a means to avoid unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.
Of course, the existence of unjust cases does not mean that there are no crimes and no victims.
The prevention of unjust cases is precisely to let the just trial fall on the real **.
