On a cold November night in 1993, Wanda Lopez was stabbed to death while she worked at a Corpus Cristi Texas gas station. 21 year old Carlos DeLuna was arrested, and over the next six years, through his trial and subsequent imprisonment he protested his innocence, declaring that it was another Carlos who committed the crime. The prosecution insisted that this other Carlos was a “phantom’ and didn’t exist. Through illuminating interviews with witnesses, Carlos’ family members, and legal experts the film asks, for the first time since 1993, if the judicial system executed an innocent man, examining key evidence that calls into question whether or not Carlos DeLuna was right about the other Carlos. Was he a phantom after all, or was he a brutal killer, and did a poor Hispanic young man have any chance within a justice system and a society that by it's actions seemed to regard him as disposable? —Deborah Rudolph
[Liebman] The proper function of law is to establish the truth. And whatever the truth is, that’s what we really mean by justice. In this case, the truth didn’t come out. 法律的真正意义在于确定真相,不管真相是什么,这就是我们所谓的正义。但在这个案件中,真相并没有浮出水面。——没有经过法律确认的事实,没有经过刑事调查和审判的真相与罪行,也只有上帝和电视机前的观众看得到或自由心证了。
这中文译名非常棒。
执法部门需要有责任心的人去找出真凶,而不是找到了嫌疑人就结束了。很多冤假错案都是因为他们只“按章办事”
纪录片 一件冤假错案,看了这个很多人会觉得废死还是有基础的 这种西部小镇氛围是不是像南方宗族一样 外面来的人天生被孤立

报案过程中,报案人被刀捅死了,警察到的时候,嫌犯跑了,警察追到了,但一起跑的还有别人,抓到的人不是凶手(不是凶手跑个屁啊)。1、美国司法警察体系对外裔一直区别对待,对有钱没钱,对拉美。2、警察办案极其不认真,还得结案。被冤枉的人1993年注射死刑好可怜,真正的罪犯1999年狱中死于肝癌
感觉纪录片想表达的很多,死刑,歧视,但哪个也没说清楚。。是一件冤假错案,但被质疑的不应该是刑罚
最倒霉的是跟错的人混在一起,长那么像被抓错也正常。可是哪怕司法系统内的任何一个人负点责任上点心,也不会被错误处决。
目击证人是最糟糕最不靠谱的证据
这么说的话,我也反对死刑,但只反对美国的……
看得我也开始质疑死刑了……极刑大概是要建立在完美运作的司法体系上才行啊 但那么多人 那么多环 哪有那么多完美呢

2021.10.13一个人在家看。该片分为3部分:假人,真人,牧师升华。最后一部分是高潮。真相只有一个,但何时到来永远成为心中那盏模糊的灯。5星。
Texas likes to kill people to show people that killing people is wrong. Well, sometimes they kill innocent people.
这种小镇自治的理念下有时候也产生问题 地方权力掌握哲一顿瞎搞 外面还干涉不到 甚至都不了解这里的情况
What a coincidence但是我一直真好奇的是 对于板上钉钉的罪犯 辩方律师是怎么克服心理障碍为他辩护的
