Did they miss some evidence? (Spoilers)


Right before the closing statements, I suddenly realized that if the boy had done it, there would have been blood all over his turban. The lawyers kept mentioning him discarding his school uniform, but not his turban. In his closing statement, the prosecuting attorney mentioned for the first and only time in the movie that the boy discarded his turban.

Now here is my question: I am almost positive they showed the boy taking his turban off when he was getting his hair cut after he discarded his school uniform. Can anyone verify that for me?

If he indeed was wearing his turban when he got his hair cut, and the turban was not covered in blood, then he was innocent.

Yes, he was wearing the turban when he went to the barber shop.

This is one more incident that points to his innocence. There is no other explanation for him getting a hair cut right then and there other than what the defendant's attorney had proposed -- that it was meant to serve as an emotional cleansing experience after the day he had. He wanted to get rid of everything that made him a target for bullies and engendered the hatred that led him to the brink of murdering a bully.
