Presumed Guilty and Copyright
Lumiere Cinemas My friends invited me to the private screening of the documentary, the film vividly reflects the Mexican prison system today, a murder suspect Antonio reported by an eyewitness who has poor evidence, the judge who is the executor rather than judge, several bailiffs and Mr. Rafael Heredia defendant’s counsel, are the protagonists of a real novel and other depressing drama, but undoubtedly show starkly the poor state of the country’s current Criminal Law.
The Federal Civil Code protects the personal image in article 1916, noting that “subject to repair the damage, he who offends the honor, privacy attacks or self-image of a person.” So there’s only if caught in an illegal way and is causing damage.
As is known a week that had begun proyecc ion in theaters a lawsuit was filed by the eyewitness, “trying to catch the hunter” arguing that the screening was illegal because he did not give permission to publish your image on the film the demand at first glance appeared to be unfounded, but not because the film is not a movie but a documentary about a reality and in this sense the uncomfortable witness has no right to the projection, it is not a performance but as was said a real situation.
Alleged Censorship : After several attempts to stop the projection in theaters as injunction ordered by Judge White Wolf Dominguez finally ended the dispute with the decision of the Supreme Court’s Office to argue that their projection is legal, given that the state must guarantee the Right to Information, a constitutional right enshrined in Article VI of the Constitution of the United Mexican States.
The film is much to be said in principle the directors of the film are the work of all trials are videotaped to record the events and I suppose also that this proposal has already been requested from Congress is appropriate and and hopefully be the remedy for this problem, but the film shows more than one defect in the justice system: – The surrender of the testimony of the accused behind bars shows the guilt before trial; – Corruption in the Prison for safeguard the welfare of prisoners; – The lack of training of judges; – Lack of impartiality of the judge in the case: – The lack of a reliable database to prevent theft of profession and further that the accused be defended by a lawyer, among others.
Truth be told, the work of Rafael Heredia plausible and courageous work not only in the freedom it now enjoys Antonio, but the diffusion of the facts and expose the system.
