[TheScrewball1982]

The film isn't about him being guilty or not, nor is it about making excuses. There is always a reason for behaviour, even if we can't understand it, but the film is asking if allowing a state to murder is resolving any problem. Regardless of your thoughts, such a great movie, and superb performances

Uh, no. It clearly states in the film he participated in the murders.

[FrankIeroiscute]
