Federal Judge Suspends Distribution of  "Presunto Culpable"/"Presumed Guilty" in Mexico. 

 

 "The film about his case unrolls almost like fiction...

  On Dec. 12, 2005, three policemen grabbed Mr. Zúñiga [the film's protagonist] as he was crossing the street in Iztapalapa, a warren of working-class neighborhoods jumbled at the city’s eastern edge. After two days in a holding cell, he was told that he was being charged with homicide and sent to prison...

  The Mexico City judge in the case — there are no juries in Mexico — convicted Mr. Zúñiga despite tests showing that he had never fired a gun..."

Elisabeth Malkin, New York Times
