Mistakes are mistakes, some may be more impactful than others but they are all the same. Can you imagine being suspected by others just because of a mistake? That's just horrible. But the worse part is, those mistaken people are too lazy to even correct the mistake, or maybe they just don't give a damn.
Damn, I know I'm lazy. I like being lazy, but there are some things that being lazy shouldn't be accepted. There are some jobs and professions where being lazy shouldn't be tolerated. They just shouldn't. Just like being a policeman for example.
Example, you're solving a murder case. You don't have a solid lead, and you are too lazy to do the necessary leg work to solve the case. Instead, you just create your own patsy and intimidate or coerce that person into an admission of guilt.
Guilt unfortunately can be manipulated. It can be played at. Just being able to survive without doing anything can make you feel guilty. Also, guilt can be forced upon you. Especially if your mental capacities and capabilities are limited.
Limited in a way that you can't defend or shield yourself from malicious prosecutions. You can just imagine those people who are mentally challenged. Yeah, just like that movie Miracle in Cell No. 7. It was a great tearjerker and until now, I haven't had the heart to watch it again.
Again, what happens in films is sometimes based on reality. That thing that happened in that movie also happened to another person in a different yet similar instance. In the movie, a mentally challenged person was sent to jail for rape and murder because the pressure to get a conviction is immense. It was politically charged and everyone involved just went along with it.
It is mostly the same as the documentary I watched. A mentally challenged guy was also sent to prison for allegedly murdering two girls. Aside from being politically charged, he had the misfortune to be picked by crooked policemen to be the bad guy. The policemen were too lazy to investigate and they just did what a policeman shouldn't do to people just to squeeze out a confession.
Confession should be airtight like an alibi. But the confession the guy delivered was full of holes and the authorities don't even care. Several lawyers appealed for the guy, even a chief of police was ready to vet the guy, and also, the previous prosecutor that was against him agreed that there is a possibility that the guy was innocent, still, those aren't enough to even give the guy the chance of a fair trial.
Trial by fire is what happened. Since he was already burned, they didn't care to think of another possibility. And it didn't even matter that another guy confessed to the killings. They just shrugged it off as nothing. The second guy even knew details that only the killer would know. Still, they didn't care.
Care should have been given, but there's none. The guy died in prison after repetitive rejections of the supreme court for his appeals. I just can't believe that what happens in movies can really happen in real life, it's sad, and it's scary.
Scary to think that people who are wielding such powers over other human beings aren't vetted properly. It's just...ugh. Crazy.
Crazy that you read it through here and didn't have a clue about what it was I was blabbering about. This is just a little reaction to the video I just watched about a mentally challenged man that was wrongfully accused and died in prison trying to prove his innocence, but the persons who could've right the wrongdoings didn’t care.
