"The documentary follows the case of Toño, a flea market computer technician that happened to have the bad luck of being picked by the police as guilty of murdering a man who he didn't even meet. From that moment his life and his family's becomes a living hell because in Mexico you need to prove your innocence, so you're guilty until proved otherwise. So he's convicted for 20 years and now a couple of young lawyers take on the mission of helping him get his freedom and record all the re-trial process."

This is from the You Tube comments section for the video Presumed Guilty - Presunto Culpable.

"In Mexico everyone is guilty IF and ONLY IF is poor...you can be chosen to be apprehended for any reason because the cops are encourage not to persue justice but to find guilty people...but if you have money....it doesn't matter what you do...you are free man...97% of the cases are based on "witnesses" picked from nowhere? believe it or not"

I know one instance where a drunk driver crashed into a bus stop killing four people and injuring himself. His family bought him off the charge for $3500 per head. The lives were valued differently due to ages but the average was $3500.
