As this documentary shows, more than a movie it was very difficult to assign a rating, because it would have to criticize specific studies in an objective manner.The rating that gives a qualitative and also appreciate that we have an ad hoc issue of what happens to the Mexican judicial system. I will not stop by the juridical system review, I will focus on what is striking about this film. Jose Antonio Zuñiga "Toño" is a guy who is in jail for a crime which he did not commit. To prove his innocence, he contacted a couple of Mexican lawyers (Layda Negrete and Robert Hernandez), who decided to take the case and began by reviewing the case file of tone. Noting that the record had many irregularities and contradictions as well as his lawyer pleaded with a professional certificate forgery. This allows them to begin a new trial for Toño. With camera in hand, they show all the process that brought the case of Toño, and is well expressed arrogance, incompetence and negligence by the authorities, who in order to "make his job" they don't care to identify and blaming people without criminological evidence. A judge in the first trial was not present and sentenced to 20 years in prison for an "innocent," without which proved to be guilty. In the second attempt to convict Toño back to 20 years in prison, but this time the decision appealed and the case reached a higher judge committee. One of the three judges evaluators, was the one who supported the innocence of tone and because of that and after 3 years of litigation, Toño is found innocent and released. Qualify this movie on IMDb to 10, "Cine el Miercoles" give's the rating of "Very Good" and hope that one day Mexico will open the eyes and let the incompetence aside and get to work professionally and seriously.
