“Presumed Guilty” online

Presumed Guilty, the damning documentary of the Mexican criminal justice system by Layda Negrete and Roberto Hernández, is streaming online through August 4th. Key part of the film’s description follows:

Accused of shooting and killing a young man named Juan Reyes, [26 year old Antonio] Zúñiga went to a closed-door trial knowing that no physical evidence linked him to the crime and that several witnesses would testify that he had been at his market stall at the time of the murder. He had no link to the victim, no motive and no criminal history. The judge, Hector Palomares, found Zúñiga guilty and sentenced him to 20 years behind bars.
