Stop pretending your hardships outweigh everyone else’s, imagine your hardships PLUS being treated like shit because of your race
I fucking hate that they do this shit our government is designed innocent to proven guilty that's what the fucking Brazilian government is for is fucking guilty until proven innocent
@@sssuisi circumstantial evidence and one witness doesn't provide enough burden of proof, which rests on prosecution, not the defense. Additionally, a guilty judgment needs to be beyond a reasonable doubt.
That's the problem in USA: in other countries, prosecutor has to prove his point, and the defense will only point out weakness in the evidences. Whereas in USA, debate is contradictory, so the prosecutor and defense present their evidences and the best prepared case win. And innocence, proving that you did not do something, is much more difficult to prove than guiltiness.
There is a famous case in Korea, about an innocent man that spent almost 20 years in prison after been accused for murder. The real murderer was never found for almost 30 years until the police caught him back in 2019. The case is called Hwaesong Serial Killer.
That's how it works though idiot. You make an arrest, and the court checks if you're guilty or not. It's very bad practice to arrest for no reason though
Working class man who paid good money for TWO Dodgers tickets for him and his daughter but just decided to never show up. Good lord. Detectives should’ve been fired.
I give the person who identified him in the crowd alot of credit. I remember a case where a woman was murdered inside of an office building. They had cameras in the lobby and elevator,but it was still very difficult to find the perpetrator. They actually found a homeless guy who looked like the suspect and it was a mess. Eventually they found the right guy,but It demonstrated how difficult it can be to solve a crime even if they have the person on video.
What irritate me SO MUCH is that by focusing on an innocent person, the murderer walks free among us. Putting the innocent behind bars serves worse than no purpose - it makes for an endangered public.
Yep. Everyone likes to think that it's "Innocent until proven guilty" but the fact is that most cases in America actually operate in the opposite. This is true when it comes to a variety of cases. It's often the case that the system and the people within it are so corrupt and lazy that they don't actually want to do their jobs at all. It falls on some really hard-working, kind , people to save poor souls like this guy.
I think its because he was accussed of Murder. Crimes like Rape and Murder have different rules when it comes to bails and arrests. Their arrests do not even require an arrest warrant nor are they bailable. Its like the system doesnt wanna take a risk by leaving a "maybe" murderer free.
There are people who will never ever get this vindication. They will rot in prison until death being accused of heinous crimes that they never did. That's sad
That sack of nothing satan runs this entire world temporarily and those who put their hope and trust in Jesus Christ will be vindicated by God the Father, the mighty vindicator, He sees and knows all, even though He is in control and allows satans schemes, no matter how badly it is here in this temporary world, He will always use it for His glory, no one who puts their trust in Christ will ever be put to shame.
@@se7ense7ens37 it's not really the "justice" system. It's more like the "legal" system. It's designed in a way that people who know laws or have money can circumvent them without any trouble.

Juan had a really good lawyer who actually seemed to care. That's awesome, and that lawyer deserves kudos for going the extra mile and convincing an industry giant like HBO to let him review footage that was probably on the cutting room floor. That is one bulldog lawyer, right there.
doesn't the lawyer industry have a focus on winning cases, that's why you find the craziest loopholes in court cases such as bees technically being a type of fish in California for some reason
@@qhayiya252 well the way the American legal system works is that each side is supposed to try as hard as they can to win without breaking any laws in the process. In theory, that means that with competent legal representation for both sides of the case every possible aspect of it will be analyzed and the right outcome will be revealed. If lawyers and prosecutors were supposed to stand up for the other side it would be a huge mess
@@qhayiya252 short version: bees are covered under fish because "fish" also covers aquatic invertebrates besides actual fish. So it's easier to just add land invertebrates than create an entire new category.

@@diabetic_boy2937 no a lawyer is there to talk for someone to make sure they don't make themselves look guilty. Do you seriously not know the concept of innocent until proven guilty?

He didn't have to, it's enough in a trial to convince a jury there's reasonable doubt. But if you can do it, that's a major plus that should quickly get the charges dismissed without need for a trial.
Sometimes the justice system is kinda appalling. Whatever happened to be innocent before proven guilty? Glad he’s out of jail and with some money, hope he’s doing well
I agree. The DA has the burden of proving his guilt. However that means nothing also since Juan was literally being set up by the police offices on the case to take the fall.
It was innocent untill proven guilty. He wasnt convicted of the crime He wouldnt be convicted of the crime He was arrested for probable cause during the 6months and meanwhile they were investigating and gathering evidence. They didnt have enough evidence to sentece him. He was never gonna get the detah sentence or any sentence at all because there wasnt any direct proof.
@@RedactedAnonymous10 they technically could hold him there forever, but he could just need to lawyer up and he would then get his trial put on priority. But like it’s confusing. Because this is murder sometimes that doesn’t apply. Ever situation is unique.
@@RedactedAnonymous10 In some of the corrupted countries I've visited, indefinitely. But this is in the States, so I'm surprised they can lock him up for 6 months, based on circumstantial evidence.
something similar happened to a friend of mine. Two eye witnesses claimed they saw him at the scene of a shooting & authorities took him into custody. Luckily he remembered he had a receipt from AutoZone to prove he was in fact shopping at the time. Take your receipts people 👍🏽
@@kreisindustriesaufsichtsra9408 It's not a coincidence. Multiple eyewitnesses can influence each other, or the police can pressure them to finger the guy they want, so they can stop investigating and close the case. There's good reason why 'eyewitnesses' testimony isn't taken seriously in court.
The cops sitting with Juan in the police station: “let’s get the facts straight, we have no physical evidence to prove you did anything, your record is pretty much spotless, you want to take a lie detector test on your own accord, and you claim you were at a Dodgers game and we’re on camera?” “Yes” “Okay fair enough, jail time for you”
That gave the murderer half a year to most likely A.) Kill another person B.) Live their lives totally fine C.) Kill another person Or D.) All of the above.
He would be behimd bars for life of not for 1 video now think of all the times that has happened to ppl and they couldnt provide concrete evidence even tho they had nothing to do with the case just sad
@@halimooooo it’s not always a lie, it’s often misidentifying a person, or misremembering. A person could easily be manipulated into remembering details, without either party being aware of it. This is why recovered memories are often bullshit, and why eyewitness testimony shouldn’t be admissible in a lot of cases. It’s also why we need to enact so many restrictions on what cops are and are not allowed to say while interrogating.
@@cairnethunderhoof6225 ok but rapists and pedophiles who have been undoubtedly proven guilty don't get nearly as much time as an innocent person who didn't even commit a crime 🙃
It may have been a case of if you ask someone. Did you see acts? They're more likely to think they did than just. What did you see? Example, if you ask someone, was this person wearing a red shirt as opposed to what color of shirt were they wearing? They're more likely to answer red
Human memory is notoriously unreliable, and the fact that some cases use only eye witness testimony without physical evidence is greatly flawed, but the witness themselves likely believed they were accurate at the time.
Because eye witnesses are really bad at identifying people of different races, he's Hispanic, the witness was probably a white or black person, so less able to distinguish between faces of Hispanic people.
That saddest part is that for 6 months they definitely didn't follow other leads or even look for a possible other killer at all. That much time lost in a murder trial is devastating considering the killer or any trail of him could be long gone by then
Um, there's nothing to appreciate, that's their job 💀. Only reason the man's helping is because he's getting a fat pay check lmao. He's getting paid so he's REQUIRED to help, which isn't anything to commemorate.
@@aaravpaudyal4252 Most lawyers only care about the money they get paid, not necessarily how well they do their job so I do believe that he deserves an applause my opinion though
Appreciation is free. Sure, the lawyer did his job right. But take into consideration, those so called investigators that put him there also "did their so called job". So stop flagging people who know how to be grateful and give appreciation. A simple sincere thank you goes a long way.
His story was made into a Netflix doc..there is so much more to this but yes he was caught on film with his daughter. But how he got there was serendipity.
It’s pretty wild when two pieces of circumstantial evidence is enough to get you arrested and held in custody pending a trial whilst there isn’t a shred of actual evidence proving your presence at the murder scene.
Yeah eyewitness testimony trumps everything. Saw a case on the old Unsolved Mysteries show of a guy that was convicted of a robbery. He had twenty neighbors that day who were outside because it was the beginning of summer who saw him somewhere else at the time....he was at home working on his car. Of course that wasnt enough for the jury and they sided with the shopkeeper and he went to jail.
He had a motive and an eyewitness saying they saw him. (as the other reply said, an eyewitness testimony trumps anything.) They aren't just going to let him be free when he knows he's a suspect. Many murderers, if they know the police are catching onto them, will go into hiding. Can't arrest someone if you don't know where they are. It's still a fucked up situation, but there aren't a lot of options.
@@jerrod9009 Courts don’t really ‘want’ anything at all unsure. It’s the same logic behind being able to get out of jury duty by admitting you “might” be biased depending on the case or evidence; they only want a definite ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty.’ While it doesn’t make it any better, and _despite_ swearing to tell the “truth and nothing but,” saying ‘no’ to whether or not they recognized him would have slowed things down (or worse, they were possibly being _led_ to believe it had been him outside the courtroom).
It’s telling that we say he had to ‘prove his innocence’ and not that prosecutors had to prove his guilt. That he was that close to the death penalty with no evidence of his crime is horrendous.
Agreed, its suppose to br innocent until proven guilty but in a-lot of cases(that the supposed guy/girl who ie actually innocent) its guilty till proven innocent. Its so fucked
He didnt have to prove his innocence. They didnt have enough evidence to convict him. If they didnt find any more evidence more then the vitnese then he wouldve been released after a while eaither way.
Not what actually happened. This “commentator” usually gets facts wrong all the time. It’s wasn’t he was proving his innocence, he was protecting it. Those cameras protect his innocence, not prove it. The trail hadn’t happened yet so he is already assumed not to have done it.
@@NyanCatzzz people who are arrested often spend time in jail until their trial, depending on the severity of the crime, unless they pay bail. This is to keep them from fleeing the country or something if they're guilty. thats the excuse anyway.
Some judges care more about getting convictions then actually finding out who did it and that isn’t there job i had a ex who got told by a judge I don’t care if you’re innocent, I need some convictions
Bro paid hundreds of dollars to got to a baseball game and after 6 months he got 320k. That's a time investment. On all seriousness I hope the family of the victim is doing better and may she rest in peace
Keep in mind, 320k is more than 500k today, so not too shabby although if this went viral today, he would be walking away with more than a million, well deserved as his life was on the line.
Exceptions aside, people don't go out of their way to falsely testify, that's why generally eyewitnesses also aren't prosecuted for perjury. Research has shown that eyewitness testimony is unreliable, but that eyewitnesses truly do believe they picked the right person. Our brains have the tendency to double down, even when mistaken and especially when challenged.
It’s crazy how they had to focus more on proving Juan’s innocence than the prosecutor did to prove Juan’s guilt. The American justice system is baffling it’s innocent until proven guilty
Exactly. The US justice system is SUPPOSED to be innocent until proven guilty BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT. That's what the system claims they do. Although, *in practice* the system does the complete opposite. Many *innocent* people take plea deals to plead guilty just to get out of jail because they can't afford bail. In the US, 95% of people in jail take plea deals. That's not a justice system when innocent people can't afford (quite literally) to stay in jail because they have jobs and families and bills and just don't want to be in jail cause it sucks. Innocent people lose their homes all the time because they were stuck in jail and couldn't pay rent. Rich people are the ones that get the "innocent until proven guilty" treatment. Poor and middle class people are kept in jail for months and can be in jail for a year or more just awaiting trial. Literal innocent people get locked up a shocking amount in the United States and its absolute injustice and a travesty. The US justice system needs a complete overhaul and needs serious restructuring, for one, we need to get rid of bail completely.
Thank God! Unfortunately, a young girl was murdered, I hope they found the right person. Hopefully they didn't stop doing justice during that 6 months he was locked up and didn't waste time by not continuing to find answers.
That documentary made me tear up. He looked so heartbroken recalling the feeling of helplessness and thinking he was going to either die in prison or be sentenced to death.
This was an amazing story that I watched on Netflix last year. Juan bought those Dodger's game tickets for his mom for Mother's Day, knowing she didn't even care for baseball and he figured he could go instead. He took his young daughter to the game and she wanted some snack from the stands so he went to get her the snack which is when he walked in front of the cameras while they were filming and just happened to also have a date and time stamp on the video. That "accident" of walking in front of the camera is what definitely saved him because it placed him in the stadium at the time of the murder. His lawyer surely is a good man to fight for him the way he did. Here is a clip of the movie "Long Shot": ruclips.net/video/PDxISykYRc4/видео.html

They’ve done it before and will do it again, because yaaay america, no, im not joking, thats how this shithole of a country acts about anything
because they know they can do it and it gives them free labor. Its all part of the plan.
I would say the scariest part is that I feel like it's built into the system
They’ve been doing it to minorities since the beginning of time! Racism is Alive and well in America. Don’t tell me white privilege don’t exist, I’m white snd grew up poor with a single mom, yet this would of never happened to me. Stop pretending your hardships outweigh everyone else’s, imagine your hardships PLUS being treated like shit because of your race
“Did you kill her?”
“no”
“Your going to jail.”
“what”
swap genders
“did you kill him”
“no”
“ok then bye”

I fucking hate that they do this shit our government is designed innocent to proven guilty that's what the fucking Brazilian government is for is fucking guilty until proven innocent
Guilty until proven innocent
(For all the people who can't tell, that's a joke)
That's the case normally but because a bystander identified him and he had a reason to do so he needs evidence to be innocent
@@sssuisi circumstantial evidence and one witness doesn't provide enough burden of proof, which rests on prosecution, not the defense. Additionally, a guilty judgment needs to be beyond a reasonable doubt.
That's the problem in USA: in other countries, prosecutor has to prove his point, and the defense will only point out weakness in the evidences.
Whereas in USA, debate is contradictory, so the prosecutor and defense present their evidences and the best prepared case win.
And innocence, proving that you did not do something, is much more difficult to prove than guiltiness.
There is a famous case in Korea, about an innocent man that spent almost 20 years in prison after been accused for murder.
The real murderer was never found for almost 30 years until the police caught him back in 2019.
The case is called Hwaesong Serial Killer.

"prove his innocence"
The American justice system at its finest
Yep. Everyone likes to think that it's "Innocent until proven guilty" but the fact is that most cases in America actually operate in the opposite.
This is true when it comes to a variety of cases. It's often the case that the system and the people within it are so corrupt and lazy that they don't actually want to do their jobs at all.
It falls on some really hard-working, kind , people to save poor souls like this guy.
The system is to prove your innocence when it should just be prove your guilt.
Imagine how horrible it is for third world countries
American grammar at its finest.
I think its because he was accussed of Murder. Crimes like Rape and Murder have different rules when it comes to bails and arrests. Their arrests do not even require an arrest warrant nor are they bailable. Its like the system doesnt wanna take a risk by leaving a "maybe" murderer free.
Imagine his daughters face of joy when he got back
I don't think $320,000 will ever compensate for ANY amount of time spent in jail. That's basically thinking trauma can be cured with money.
There are people who will never ever get this vindication. They will rot in prison until death being accused of heinous crimes that they never did. That's sad
That sack of nothing satan runs this entire world temporarily and those who put their hope and trust in Jesus Christ will be vindicated by God the Father, the mighty vindicator, He sees and knows all, even though He is in control and allows satans schemes, no matter how badly it is here in this temporary world, He will always use it for His glory, no one who puts their trust in Christ will ever be put to shame.
Even worse when its done purposely
Its unavoidable for many but not for most. Our justice system needs to be rewritten
Ya and same for the even more criminals who get away with heinous crimes.
Yep and imagine in Japan where they have 90% or so conviction rate. That's terrifying.
“Did you kill her?”
“No”
“Jail!”

It may have been a case of if you ask someone. Did you see acts? They're more likely to think they did than just. What did you see? Example, if you ask someone, was this person wearing a red shirt as opposed to what color of shirt were they wearing? They're more likely to answer red
@@abigailgriffin-wc3fmI still don’t entirely get it
@@MrBigEBoi think I get it now
Human memory is notoriously unreliable, and the fact that some cases use only eye witness testimony without physical evidence is greatly flawed, but the witness themselves likely believed they were accurate at the time.
Because eye witnesses are really bad at identifying people of different races, he's Hispanic, the witness was probably a white or black person, so less able to distinguish between faces of Hispanic people.
That saddest part is that for 6 months they definitely didn't follow other leads or even look for a possible other killer at all. That much time lost in a murder trial is devastating considering the killer or any trail of him could be long gone by then
Hey im glad they at least were able to save his life. I wonder how many people who got the death sentence actually did nothing wrong

He deserves way more than 320. He deserves that time back.
It’s pretty wild when two pieces of circumstantial evidence is enough to get you arrested and held in custody pending a trial whilst there isn’t a shred of actual evidence proving your presence at the murder scene.
Yeah eyewitness testimony trumps everything. Saw a case on the old Unsolved Mysteries show of a guy that was convicted of a robbery. He had twenty neighbors that day who were outside because it was the beginning of summer who saw him somewhere else at the time....he was at home working on his car. Of course that wasnt enough for the jury and they sided with the shopkeeper and he went to jail.
He had a motive and an eyewitness saying they saw him. (as the other reply said, an eyewitness testimony trumps anything.) They aren't just going to let him be free when he knows he's a suspect.
Many murderers, if they know the police are catching onto them, will go into hiding. Can't arrest someone if you don't know where they are.
It's still a fucked up situation, but there aren't a lot of options.

Exceptions aside, people don't go out of their way to falsely testify, that's why generally eyewitnesses also aren't prosecuted for perjury.

Our brains have the tendency to double down, even when mistaken and especially when challenged.

It’s crazy how they had to focus more on proving Juan’s innocence than the prosecutor did to prove Juan’s guilt. The American justice system is baffling it’s innocent until proven guilty
Exactly. The US justice system is SUPPOSED to be innocent until proven guilty BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT. That's what the system claims they do. Although, *in practice* the system does the complete opposite.
Many *innocent* people take plea deals to plead guilty just to get out of jail because they can't afford bail. In the US, 95% of people in jail take plea deals. That's not a justice system when innocent people can't afford (quite literally) to stay in jail because they have jobs and families and bills and just don't want to be in jail cause it sucks. Innocent people lose their homes all the time because they were stuck in jail and couldn't pay rent.
Rich people are the ones that get the "innocent until proven guilty" treatment. Poor and middle class people are kept in jail for months and can be in jail for a year or more just awaiting trial. Literal innocent people get locked up a shocking amount in the United States and its absolute injustice and a travesty. The US justice system needs a complete overhaul and needs serious restructuring, for one, we need to get rid of bail completely.
