The Presumption of Justice


The Presumption of Justice is a 2012 documentary film, directed by Boris Malagurski and Ivana Rajovi, it deals with the September 2009 murder of Brice Taton, a fan of Toulouse FC, who arrived to Belgrade, Serbia in order to support his club in its UEFA Europa League away match versus FK Partizan. The film focuses on the subsequent court case in Serbia which, resulted in a dozen FK Partizan fans being convicted of the crime. It argues that the handling of the case was negligent at both its investigative and trial stages, resulting in a miscarriage of justice in the case of Stefan Velikovi, one of theconvicted fans.

The film chronicles several alleged inconsistencies between the statements of the accused and the court findings in the case, analyzing whether Taton was thrown off a ledge or had fallen while running away from the fight.The film alleges the trial was finished with record speed, and that the verdict didnt explain what happened that day, since none of the evidence provided answers to how Brice Taton fell off the ledge. The film comes to the conclusion that the media and state and legal institutions misrepresented the case, and attempts to explain why this happened. ........
