Dos amigas, un asesinato y un café

This film is very good at dissecting the intricacies of the Indonesian legal system and add laying there its flaws. While the Indonesian legal system is certainly unique within the world, it seems that this case is problematic for the reason that many other cases in the world are problematic - media attention. Sometimes I wonder if it would be a better system when you were accused, charged, tried of a crime in secret. That way if you were innocent no one would ever know that you had been accused of a crime, and if you are guilty then your trial has more of a chance to be a fair one without the glare of the media. Of course that system also would probably lead to abuses of power as well. This is an interesting documentary that plays more like a sensationalistic film.

She is absolutely a murderer. I just saw an YouTube interview with Jessica Wongso and she didn't even make any sense on anything. She was laughing and smiling in the entire interview. She never apologized for anything. She didn't even remember anything that happened that the interviewer asked.

If you thought or had an inclining that she was innocent then think again and scratch that idea because her explanation of everything was so weird and so suspicious.

She had 8 years to at least come up with an excuse, a reason, or something but her explanations were so exasperating.

She 1000% did it and then has the nerves to deny it.

The interview is in 7 News Spotlight YouTube Channel.

If you go by this, everyone in Indonesia is insanely vain and vapid. Their legal system is an absolute joke, with everyone involved believing and relying on science and arguments that would be laughed out of any other court in the world. The attention seeking father of the deceased woman was allowed to bring a gun into the court room, as well as place a doctored photo into evidence that was only at the last second discovered and removed. Every high school debate tournament I've seen has been head and shoulders above this country's highest court. Looks like there's a new entrant in the way too crowded race to see who can recreate the world from Idiocracy first.

Ungornately, this is a real live crime.

When I was watching it, I almost forgot that that happened for real.

It seemed to me that I was warching a B movie with a nad script and argument that nobody would believe. Unless you were a Indonesian Justice Member.

What a shame.

Everytime I see this kind of situation, I confirm the ideia that we have to much to evolve yet.

Here in Brazil we have these kind of justice as well.

The specialists that are more interested in look good in pictures than protect the truth.

Nobody cares about the other people as long as they can perform their futile show.

A detailed look at the trial of Jessica Wongso, who was arrested and charged for murdering her best friend, Mirna Salihin, by spiking her iced coffee with cyanide.

It's a little over long, this could have been edited down into less than an hour, at times it's very slow and padded, which is a shame, as there's some good content.

It's a fairly interesting documentary, the case itself is pretty interesting, bud it's more of a study of Indonesia's legal system, being from The UK, it seems totally alien, one thing that doesn't differ around the world however, the scrutiny of the public and media.

I have actually been to Indonesia, I don't actually think this does anything to promote the country, it pretty much takes aim, and fires two barrels at the country, detailing the country's legal system failings, as well as the bias that exists.

Was Jessica guilty? I'm not convinced that this case was black and white.

6/10.
