The daily life of American drama detective

"So it's all right between you and Chuck?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone couldn't help confirming that his boss and friend Adam Schiffer was lost in thought.

"What can be wrong?"

District Attorney Adam Schiffer laughed at himself: "He is willing to be my campaign donor, and I should thank him."

When Chuck said that if anyone was running for office in New York, he was naturally referring to him.

And although he is old, he is still unable to abstain from pornography, and there are things like subsidizing poor female college students.

Such a thing, replaced by Barney Stinson in "Looking for Mom", it is an honor worth talking about.

Even for a district attorney like him, in a purely bad election, he would definitely not be the worst.

This three-way thing, in the United States, is a mistake that everyone can understand.

Not a big deal.

The only trouble is that the money he used is the public account of campaign funds. As Chuck said before, if he has to be serious about legal issues, then he can be prosecuted 34 times for this kind of behavior, and the maximum sentence can reach 136 years. !
The last "predecessor" who did this and made a sensation in the United States was Chicago Cook County State Attorney Pete Frolick.

The public funds are gone.

Same crime.

Because the other party has a proud and virtuous wife who is now well-known to help him carry it together, so the pressure of public opinion is not so great, and the overall situation has not collapsed, so many people have no way to add insult to injury.

The prosecution ultimately fell through.

After he was released from prison soon, he set up the character of a prodigal son who will never change his money. Not only did he re-run for the position of state prosecutor, there were even rumors that he was aiming for the governor, and he did not rule out the possibility of running for the general in the future.

But Pete Florrick is Pete Florrick, and he Adam Schiffer is Adam Schiffer!
He, Adam Schiffer, doesn't have such a "proud and good wife" who is generally willing to help carry it. If his behavior is exposed, his wife will definitely fall out with him, and then completely cut off his political career.

If someone goes online and sticks to the details of the law, given the chaos of American law and the reality that almost everyone may be a criminal (taxes are so heavy, almost everyone wants to avoid taxes), they will be sentenced to 136 years in prison. It even keeps increasing the weight and getting involved in other cases, that's not to mention how many 100 years have passed.

When Chuck Wolfe hit such a big stick, he was dizzy immediately. Before he could think about how to surrender decently, Chuck directly sent sweet dates and said something.

He who was very angry at first suddenly didn't know what to think in his heart.

Is this endorsement from Detective Chuck?
He thought amusedly: "One day in the future, this matter about me will really be exposed during the re-election process. Can this matter be used to prove that I am relatively the least bad candidate compared to other bad candidates? ? After all, this is the approval of Detective Chuck! It is more authoritative than the results of any investigation agency!"

This is no fantasy!
The 'predecessor' Pete Frolick in Chicago, the reason why the prodigal son can turn back without changing money, in addition to the support of the proud and good wife, is the most important reason, that is, his successor has done too badly, and the crime rate has greatly increased , Chicago people miss this former prosecutor who is quite capable but can't control his lower body.

And he, Adam Schiffer, thinks that since he ran for the New York District Attorney, he has been conscientious. The crime rate of rape, homicide, arson and other felonies has dropped by 5.00% compared with his predecessor.

And if, as Detective Chuck said, a New York District Attorney with 9 points of politics and 1 point of law is replaced, no matter how nice the words are, I am afraid that the crime rate, especially the felony crime rate, will definitely soar by at least [-] to [-]%.

This should also be the fundamental reason why Detective Chuck is willing to provide sweet dates and become a donor to help him run for re-election in the future.

He is really capable!
Other correct nonsense such as equality before the law is useless at all. As long as there is a mouth for this correct nonsense, who wouldn't say it?

But the rise and fall of the crime rate, especially the rise and fall of felony crimes, is the real indicator of a district attorney's ability to work!
"That's good."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone saw that his boss and friends really didn't seem to be holding back their anger, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's do something."

"Go!"

District Attorney Adam Schiffer nodded: "Aside from the trouble of offending the largest donor, this case should indeed set an example, otherwise the crime rate will soar in the future! This is not conducive to my future re-election campaign!"

Speaking of this, he shrugged his shoulders: "Although the impact is not as much as the trouble of offending the biggest donor."

Executive Assistant Attorney Ben Stone smiled knowingly.

Although the politics of the United States is called democracy, various key positions must be contested, and it seems to be the result of public opinion to let the people vote.

But that's just what it looks like.

In the final analysis, various political campaigns in the United States are still games between big capitals. The so-called popular vote to determine the results is just to let the people have a sense of participation and to be a fun person, and the results do not depend on their will at all.

Assistant U.S. Attorney's Office.

The office director and secretary of the OTN Organ Transplantation Network were invited.

"Philip Wardry once came to my office and promised to make a big donation to OTN if I would move his daughter forward."

The director of the OTN office introduced the situation: "In 1990, more than 10 patients were undergoing dialysis, and only 8000 people could get legal new kidneys. Money can't always buy happiness, Mr. Stone!"

"Maybe someone won't agree with that."

The assistant U.S. attorney, who is African-American, countered.

"Money shouldn't buy life anyway!"

The secretary couldn't help but say.

"These people must be severely punished!"

The director of the OTN office, Yizheng, said: "We hope that you will look at this case from a higher perspective. The public must realize that the Organ Transplantation Network is a real democratic system. place of power!"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone and the African-American Assistant Prosecutor couldn't help but glance at each other, and they could see what each other was thinking.

If Chuck hadn't reminded them, they would definitely think that the director of the OTN office who can say this is definitely a rare and just official.

But after Chuck reminded, the director also said before that 'the black market for organs is illegal, so it doesn't exist', 'there is no need for illegal organs at all, because you can wait while dialysis', I don't know if these words are stupid or bad.

It is indeed correct and noble to say such things now, but the fact is that the billionaire Philip Wardry successfully used the pseudonym of his only daughter to legally occupy three kidneys in this place that is known as a small number of real democracies.

However, on the condition that the only daughter of a billionaire takes drugs, she shouldn't even be on the waiting list for organ transplants with an annual gap of [-] to [-].

In the words of their righteous words, in the few places in the United States where money has no decision-making power at all, is this the result?

What a great irony.

That is to say, Chuck has investigated, and the righteous OTN office director in front of him really did not accept money from the billionaire Philip Wardry, otherwise, this time the prosecution will definitely join him.

But now he needs to testify in court that Philip Waudry had approached him to prove that Philip Waudry committed a crime.

Court.

"The defendant, Philip Wardry, is charged with attempted murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree, conspiracy in the first degree, and grand theft."

A group of defendants brought their lawyers and packed the dock to the brim, and the clerk helped the judge read the prosecution's charges against them.

"How does the defense respond?"

The female judge looked at defendant billionaire Philip Wardry.

"All not guilty, Your Honor!"

Billionaire Philippe Waudrey is right.

"Prosecutor, do you have any opinion on the bail money?"

The female judge looked at the African-American assistant prosecutor.

"$35, your honor."

said the assistant U.S. attorney of African descent.

"This court agrees!"

The female judge did not ask the defendant at all, and directly agreed.

"Your Honor, I would like to ask that Mr. Waddry be kept in court while I go to the bank to wire money."

The billionaire's lawyer laughed.

"Your Honor, the prosecution objects to any special treatment for Mr. Wardry!"

The African-American assistant U.S. attorney immediately objected.

"The prosecution considers Mr. Wardry to be a flight risk?"

The billionaire's lawyer scoffed.

"It's 4:30 now, and by the time you get back here, Mr. Wadry won't be able to catch the prisoner bus to Riker's Island Prison."

The female judge raised her hand to look at the time, and said, "This court disagrees!"

"Rick's Island Prison?"

The billionaire lawyer cried out in surprise.

In the United States, whether it is the amount of bail or the level of prison awaiting trial, to a certain extent, it represents the inner tendency of the judge.

And now the attitude of female judges is obviously unfavorable to billionaire Philip Wardry.

Apparently, the female judge who had read the file felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart for the crime of forcibly taking a kidney from a healthy person to give to her daughter, and she didn't give any dignity to the billionaire who should have enough dignity.

"The defendant, James Robert, is charged with attempted murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree, conspiracy in the first degree, and grand theft."

Under the motion of the female judge, the reporter helped the judge to read the next charge.

"How does the defense respond?"

The female judge looked at the defendant, Dr. James Robert.

"Not guilty, Your Honor!"

Dr. James Robert, of course, could not have pleaded guilty.

With so many charges added up, he will plead guilty and he will be out of prison.

"Does the prosecution want anything?"

The female judge asked the African-American assistant prosecutor again.

"The prosecution is very outraged by the violence and brutality of the defendant's crime. Your Honor, the prosecution believes that such a brutal act requires a bail of $75."

said the assistant U.S. attorney of African descent.

"May I speak, Your Honor?"

The defendant, Dr. James Roberts, could not help speaking.

"It is your right."

The female judge opened her hands in agreement.

"I believe we all have our responsibilities, Your Honor."

Defendant Dr James Roberts wanted to impress the female judge: "But there is a 6-year-old grandmother with six grandchildren lying in Gramercy Hospital expecting to have critical kidney surgery tonight."

"so what?"

The female judge asked knowingly.

"The prosecution's unreasonable demands will cause serious or even irreparable losses to her!"

The defendant, Dr. James Roberts, skillfully took the moral high ground at this moment.

"We're impressed with your love of life, Doctor."

The female judge said in a serious manner: "The bail is 35 US dollars! Clerk!"

"..."

The defendant, Dr. James Robert, immediately looked at his lawyer, but the lawyer could only shrug helplessly.

Same crime as billionaire Philip Wardry, same bail, says it all.

"Defendant Elena Hella, charged with first-degree assault and first-degree conspiracy."

The clerk continued to read the charges against the third defendant.

"How does the defense respond?"

The female judge looked at the accused nurse Elena Hella.

"Your Honor, my client is willing to plead guilty."

The defense lawyer glanced at his client, and replied instead of her: "Your Honor, please see that my client pleaded guilty voluntarily, and it directly affected the escalation of the crime and saved the life of the plaintiff. Let me give you a lighter sentence."

He actually prepared two sets of plans, one is to struggle with the other defendants and try to acquit himself.

Another plan is to simply kneel down and plead guilty.

But looking at the situation now, he and his client are more inclined to plead guilty directly in exchange for preferential treatment from the judge.

There is no way, the attitude of the female judge is like this, the most important thing is that the deterrent power of Detective Chuck is too strong, and the chance of success feels too small if he resists hard.

"What about the prosecution's opinion?"

The female judge looked at the African-American assistant prosecutor.

"The prosecution has no comment."

The assistant U.S. attorney nodded.

This is also the result of what they discussed with Chuck.

Chuck doesn't accept a plea deal and compromises the criminal.

After investigation, the nurse Elena Hela did have a factual basis for a lighter punishment. Now that the evidence is conclusive, she is willing to plead guilty directly, with a good attitude. Therefore, with Chuck's consent, as the prosecutor, she will not make a plea bargain. However, the highest sentencing is not recommended, and this discretion is left to the judge.

The female judge glanced at the accused nurse, Elena Hela, and seeing that she had no objection, she directly agreed to the request and pronounced the sentence in court.

This result made the other defendants and the defendant's lawyer look a little bad.

Originally, Detective Chuck intervened in this case, which has both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that Detective Chuck collects evidence too sharply, and it is easy to make the crime invisible.

But the good thing is that Detective Chuck does not know how to adapt, and blindly does not allow the prosecution and plea deal. This can force the criminals who conspired together to report and unite to fight against the prosecution's charges. The possibility of acquittal also relatively increased.

But now the nurse Elena Hela, who is an important co-conspirator and participant, directly pleaded guilty, which is the worst news for them.

The co-conspirators have all directly pleaded guilty, and no plea deal has been made yet. Once she is invited to the witness stand, her testimony will be very credible to the jury.

The jury must have directly regarded them as guilty of the defendants.

Plus the attitude of the female judge.

There is no trial yet, and more than half of it has already been lost.
