Description
In the future, the government seems to have little to do with how criminals are judged and penalized-that's all done by the citizens instead. The police still investigate crimes and punish, after a short and on-the-spot trial, all criminals found guilty of any crimes lower than murder. Dozens of walking, dehumanized and lobotomized criminals stand as perfect examples to the citizenry against committing any crime. For the capital crime of murder, an Accuser must formally bring the charge against the one party they believe to be responsible. At random, a citizen must then fill his or her civic duty and judge the Accused, carrying out the punishment-an execution in the same manner of death that the victim suffered-by the end of the trial. There is no room for wrong judgement and, as history shows, once someone is Accused, execution is the kindest and most just answer. Raised to be a pacifist, the newest Judge cannot fathom the course of action he must take against a so-called criminal who seems to be the only person ever wrongfully Accused. Will the Judge make the right choice or make what everyone before him has said is the correct choice? Mature due to language and some scenes of violence.
