The daily life of American drama detective

"how so……"

Tim Chang's sister had a painful expression of waking up from a dream.

Her brother's death just made her sad and painful.

But the apparently simple legal issue of redressing the grievances for the younger brother has turned into public opinion violence against the family members of victims like them, and now it has risen to a real threat of violence.

This kind of absurd and desperate reality really made her dream shattered.

She understood better than ever: The American Dream is dead!
"This is normal."

Chuck calmly reminded: "Because the big country in the east is strong enough, this so-called free and democratic society is full of hostility towards you.

In the future, as the big country in the east becomes stronger and stronger, your situation here will become more and more embarrassing and dangerous.

The good old days of enduring all kinds of discrimination and bullying in the past, earning a small amount of money and living behind closed doors will never come back.

The most basic survival needs of human beings and the educational needs of your most valued offspring will be increasingly challenged.

So my advice, if possible, get out as soon as possible. "

"You and Tim's views are really similar."

Tim Chang's sister looked at Chuck with a complicated expression, and said with tears: "He also said similar things, and said that after he finished his Ph.D. at MIT, he would leave the United States and return to the hometown that his mother misses so much. Then he would take us back together." .”

"Yet you don't want that."

Chuck looked at her.

"I'm not Tim, I like it better here."

Tim Chang's sister nodded: "What he said, just like his pursuit of science, made me have no idea. It is impossible for me to give up my career and career that I have worked so hard for so many years for something that I don't understand and am not optimistic about." living."

Chuck nodded and said nothing more.

After all, the big country in the East has just begun to develop, and the conditions are far inferior to those of the United States.

Future quasi-scientists like Tim Chang don't pay much attention to material conditions. Instead, they will be full of longing at the beginning, and want to do some scientific research for the country, the people and themselves.

But Tim Chang's sister is an ordinary person who values ​​her own life more. It is impossible for her to make up her mind to start again when her basic right to survival is really challenged.

If Chuck persuaded him once, he wouldn't persuade him a second time.

Everyone has the right to choose freely for their own consideration.

In fact, it's not just Tim Chang's sister, but Tim Chang didn't die at the gunpoint of a white classmate's family. In the future, when he gets older, or goes to the other side of the ocean to see the scientific research conditions and environment there, there is a high probability that he will change his mind. Like my sister, I chose to stay.

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny!
Dreams have everything, but dreams are not reality after all.

Tim Chang's sister and mother were settled, and the court day arrived safely.

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone first put the basketball buddies who perjured gunman Randy Balland on the witness stand.

"What did Randy Ballard say when he called?"

"He said a note... the police, suspecting that he was involved in the child's murder, if they come to ask, they want me to help with the sign-in form."

"You did?"

"He's my friend. He said he didn't do it. I believe him. I don't think it's a big deal to change the sign-in form..."

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone showed an enlarged version of the sign-in sheet for the jury to see, and asked, "What do these say?"

"I changed my name to make it look like Randy was an hour early."

The witness explained.

"Your Honor, I have no questions."

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone said.

The defense lawyer, the old white man Will, immediately got up and walked over: "Deason, are you friends with Randy?"

"Correct."

The witness nods.

"So he asked you to do a favor, and you did it?"

Will, the old white male lawyer, smiled. After the witness nodded, he asked: "Even if Randy said that the police suspect that he is related to a murder case, you are still willing to help. You must have a good relationship?"

"We are golf friends and often play basketball together."

The witness nods.

"It seems that I have to play basketball more often, so it is easy to meet friends who are willing to make such a big sacrifice for me."

The old white male lawyer Will smiled at the jury, and then said seriously: "Tell me, why did you just call the policeman a cop?"

"Because everyone calls it that."

Witnesses unknown.

"Tell us, what were you doing on May 1990, 5?"

The old white male lawyer Will suddenly asked.

"..."

The witness was silent for a moment.

"Can not remember?"

The old white male lawyer Will looked around the jury: "Then let me remind you, you were arrested and taken to the police station because of fraud, right?"

"Yes."

Witnesses can only answer truthfully.

"You had a fight with Randy on the field a month ago, didn't you?"

The old white male lawyer Will pursues the victory.

"That was normal court friction and we let it go quickly."

The witnesses were amazed.

But Will, the old white male lawyer, didn't care about these things, and made a big fuss about them.

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone and the others all know what the old white male lawyer Will wants to do. He clearly wants to prove that the witness's testimony is not credible, and then completely overturn the most critical evidence in this case, that murderous gun!
Because the signing of the search warrant was based on the premise that the witness gave the gunman Randy's alibi to be questionable.

Even if the legality of the search warrant cannot be denied, the jury will be suspicious of the witness, thereby reducing the credibility of the witness's testimony.

Therefore, it is fundamental to seize the character of the witness to fight.

After all, there are only [-] million people in the United States, and there are less than [-] million people who have been in the police and had their photos taken, let alone many more who have not been caught.

As long as you have the heart to dig, it can be said that everyone is unclean.

Therefore, this tactic against the character of witnesses can be called the most classic and basic defense tactic.

At this point, unless lawyer Zhang Weiwei becomes a prosecutor, it is impossible not to guard against this trick.

So when the defense attorney finished questioning the witness, Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone calmly invited more golfers to prove it.

After all, playing basketball is a group activity, not just the Witness and Randy practicing alone.

These golfers can prove that the gunman Randy was not playing on the court when the incident happened.

Will, the old white male lawyer, can't do anything about it either.

no way!
Just as Mr. Borland scolded, his wife is an idiot, getting emotional, and directly instigated the elder son to shoot and kill Tim Chang in broad daylight on a busy street, and even forgot to take valuables afterwards to pretend .

This kind of mother and son has left too many flaws in the mess, as long as you look for it, you can find it.

Not to mention that Detective Chuck is in charge of the investigation this time!
He could make a jury suspicious of one witness, but he couldn't make a jury suspicious of a whole group of people.

After the executive assistant prosecutor Ben Stone finished questioning, he saw that the defense lawyer had no intention of stepping forward to ask questions, so he smiled and applied to the judge for a second witness to appear in court.

Is the specialist responsible for detecting ballistics.

"I got three shell casings from the crime scene, and three bullets from Tim Chang's body, and based on the zones and grooves of the bullets, and the firing marks on the shell casings, I think the firearm was a semi-automatic Tanfoglio. Titan .0.38 pistol."

The female expert said: "This exactly matches the ballistics of the guns found in Mr. Balland's house."

"What does this mean?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone deliberately asked an extra question in order to take care of the jury who were just ordinary people.

"Based on my experience, the gun in Mr. Bollard's house is exactly the weapon that killed Tim!"

The female expert said what Ben Stone wanted to say.

"Thanks, I'm fine."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone returned to his seat with a smile.

"Ms. Shelley, do you know how many licenses there are in this state to hold Tanfoglio Titan .0.38 pistols?"

The defense attorney immediately got up and asked.

"I can't say the right number!"

The female expert shook her head.

"Would you be surprised if I told you more than 1000?"

The defense lawyer continued to ask.

"I think it should be more than that."

Female experts tell the truth.

"What if I tell you that the number is 2941?"

asked the defense attorney.

"Do not."

The female expert shook her head.

"I'm very pleased."

The defense lawyer had a disgusting standard American smirk on his face: "From your expert's point of view, could there be another kind of gun that would match the ballistic marks you found?"

"almost impossible."

The female expert shook her head.

"So you're saying there's a good chance there's another kind of gun..."

The defense lawyer didn't seem to hear it, or if he heard it, he forcibly interpreted the female expert's words as the opposite meaning, and then was directly interrupted by the female expert.

"I'm sorry, you may not have heard what I said. I said it was almost impossible, and before I knew that Mr. Boland had this gun at home, I had already deduced that it was the Tanfoglio gun based on information such as bullets and ballistics. Titan .0.38 pistol!"

"...you are really professional."

The defense lawyer was so straightforwardly interrupted by the female expert to interrupt his blatantly distorted sophistry, and was a little speechless for a while. Seeing the female expert's straightforward expression and the style of not minding directly interrupting and correcting his sophistry, he wisely did not pester the witness anymore. He didn't know whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm, and he just threw away the expert witness.

This is a female expert, and she is also a white female expert.

After all, now is not the era in the past when women were completely denied the right to speak, nor is it the magical era in the future where more than 100 magical genders will continue to squeeze women.

Relatively speaking, this era can be regarded as the most friendly era for women.

If he is aggressive, he will not be able to please him.

The third witness is Tim Chang's sister. When she was questioned by Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone, she tearfully told the insults and threats made by the Balland family to them. Chuck looked around the audience and found that Everyone in the courtroom, including the jury, hardly showed any emotion.

After Ben Stone finished asking, the defense lawyer immediately stepped forward and asked the question: "Miss Chang, you said you were insulted and threatened, why didn't you call the police?"

"Because our culture doesn't call the police."

Even though Tim Chang's sister had been reminded by Chuck in advance, it was still difficult to accept what the defense lawyer asked.

Because anyone can hear the hidden meaning in these words, similar to the victim's culpability theory of "why did you bump into it?" If you don't call the police, it means that these insults and threats do not exist.

"Most of your family's friends are Chinese?"

The defense lawyer continued to ask.

"Objection! It's irrelevant!"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone immediately objected.

He knew that the defense lawyer was doing everything possible to separate the victim from the jury, reminding the jury that Tim, the victim, is often not his own person. Even if he lives in the United States, he still lives in their small circle and is not really his own person. .

Once the jury deepens this impression, it will naturally make a verdict that violates human nature: a person who is not one of his own is not a human being!

Since they are not human, regardless of the fact that the boy was shot and killed three times in the street, why should white families like them suffer for it?
"The witness mentioned her cultural background."

The defense attorney explained to the judge.

"invalid objection."

The judge immediately ruled: "The witness answers the questions."

"Our closest friends are all Chinese."

Tim Chang's sister answered truthfully.

"Your brother, did you ever join a gang in Chinatown?"

Defense lawyers pursued the victory.

"be opposed to!"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone stood up again to object, but was interrupted directly by the judge: "Mr. Stone, I allow this question!"

"He's quiet, he's not really..."

Tim Chang's sister tried to explain, but was interrupted directly by the defense lawyer: "What's the name of this gang?"

"White Tiger Gang."

How could Tim Chang's sister be able to withstand this classic American interrupting technique, and could only answer what the defense lawyer wanted to hear along with the defense lawyer's topic.

"This is the third evidence of the defense!"

The defense lawyer turned around and picked up a piece of evidence: "This is an article published in the 'Tongcheng' magazine last month. Could you please read the underlined content aloud."

Tim Chang's sister took the magazine and read out helplessly: "The White Tiger Gang is the most powerful gang in the city. They have launched a series of battles with other gangs for territory. This year, two gang members died in Shots, no one thought this fight would end."

"Thank you, I have no more questions."

The defense lawyer watched the expressions of the jury grow more indifferent, smiled complacently, and turned back to his seat.

Now that he can't make a fuss about the character of the witnesses in the search warrant, his main focus is three: emotions!mood!What's more special is the emotion!
Not one of us, threats, all are Chi Guoguo's emotions!
When will the reports of the same city magazine tabloids appear in court as evidence?

Only when the victim is not one of his own can it be accepted by the jury and the judge by default.

Let me tell you another hell joke: the Chinese with the lowest racial status and the smallest number formed the most powerful and brutal gang in New York in Chinatown, and took the initiative to attack the world-famous gangs including the Italian Mafia, the Irish Gang, and the Russian Gang. After meeting the challenge of the 1V public, and it seems that the situation is very good, it is about to unify New York and threaten all New Yorkers.
