The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 476 Can't deal with his illegal ones, and can't deal with your legal ones?

"That's them."

Monica nodded understandingly.

Everyone thinks so.

If it were someone else, Chuck wouldn't deserve to be slapped in the face.

Only a good person like Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone who has a conscience and bottom line, but the three views have been fixed, the thinking stamp is solid, and is greatly limited by the times and the environment, so there is this step of slapping the face and punishing the heart, otherwise It is not necessary at all.

Everyone dispersed.

Detectives Chuck and Amy Santiago head to the district attorney's office.

"You're back?"

As soon as I entered, I met District Attorney Adam Schiffer. As soon as the other party saw Chuck, he immediately showed a headache expression, but when Chuck looked over, he had to squeeze out a smile: "I mean, I heard you went to Houston. , why don't you play there for a few more days?"

What I didn't say is, isn't there any interesting case over there to catch your feet?

Must come back so soon.

How come there are no stumbling blocks!
Especially seeing that there is Detective Amy Santiago beside Chuck, thinking of the recent case, I wish Chuck would not come back for a while.

He could see it, even though they were all forces for justice.

But they represent the law.

And Chuck vaguely represents the basic demands of the majority of ordinary people.

That's why he often encounters the rich and powerful billionaire who bullies the most ordinary people from the root, so that he, the spokesperson of the law who is tied to the same boat, often has a splitting headache.

Now in the case of Detective Amy Santiago, not to mention that the majority of ordinary people regard the jewelry store owner who killed two people as a hero rather than a criminal, even many policemen who assisted them think so.

Without thinking about it, he probably guessed Chuck's inclination towards this case.

Whenever possible, as long as Chuck asked, he would simply ask Executive Assistant Attorney Ben Stone to drop the prosecution.

After all, there are not one thousand but eight hundred cases of abandonment of prosecution every year.

Just to save money for the justice system.

But this time it was the African descendants of the upper three ethnic groups who died, or two.

When there is no public opinion, if you die, you will die. If you die like this every year, you will die in vain. No one pays attention and no one investigates.

However, after a wave of public opinion arose, the two African-American dead, regardless of being habitual offenders of various serious punishments, took the initiative to enter the store with guns and tried to rob them this time.

But in the eyes of those African-American activists, this is the best time for them to fight for African-American privileges.

As long as their voices are loud enough and they make a lot of noise, these two African-Americans who were killed as habitual gunmen are innocent souls and representatives of oppressed African-Americans.

What they want is for those who dared to kill the 'innocent representatives' to be sentenced severely, and for the public opinion to give in to them overwhelmingly.

This is also the usual routine.

Don't ask the facts, just ask the ass!
Just imagine that as long as such gun-wielding habitual offenders are African-Americans, they can pressure public opinion to get what they want. Then, do the police and the judicial system dare to impose heavy sentences on ordinary African-Americans for daily crimes?

As the District Attorney, does Adam Schiffer know this distorted reality and growing trend?

of course I know!

He knows better than anyone!

But this is New York, the base of democracy and freedom. Even though he, as a white man, doesn't like it very much, he can't defy the general trend.

So after public opinion arose, he knew that the case was troublesome and he couldn't give up easily.

Not to mention that his executive assistant prosecutor, Ben Stone, still has a romantic feeling for legal justice, and insists on strictly punishing the street heroes who went out and killed the two gun-wielding robbers.

In this situation, Chuck, who represents the basic demands of the majority of ordinary people, came back, accompanied by Detective Amy Santiago, who also had objections to this, and came over on his own initiative.

No wonder he doesn't have a headache!
"It's not as interesting as New York."

Chuck said straightforwardly.

On magic, where is the New York of Arkham's Gotham prototype interesting!
"..."

District Attorney Adam Schiffer's mouth twitched, he looked back at his subordinate's office, and coughed lightly: "I still have something to do, if you have something to do, you can go to Ben first."

He left with an awkward smile.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Although he was the last to make the decision, the decision was flexible.

When encountering someone he doesn't want to stand out, he can directly push it to his subordinate executive assistant prosecutor, saying that he is not good at interfering with his subordinates' work.

If it concerns his own interests, he can directly take over the case. At that time, regardless of what his subordinates say, he can directly deny it. He wants him to feel, not his subordinates.

But now, he wants his subordinates to do whatever they think they should do.

Chuck didn't stop him, and walked directly to the office of Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone. The female secretary in the office naturally knew Chuck, smiled at Chuck, and picked up the phone to notify the inside.

Inside the Executive Assistant Attorney's Office.

Four people sit in pairs.

"Unless you hand over the videotape, Mr. Kurtas, you're going to take the ferry to Riker's Island Prison."

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone said flatly, threateningly, to the immigrant jewelry store owner.

"Refund the ticket, Ben."

Defense lawyer unimpressed: "My client has never admitted to the existence of the tape."

"He has admitted it, to his brother-in-law."

The African-American assistant prosecutor reminded and corrected.

When the jewelry store owner heard this, his face showed anger.

He didn't expect that his brother-in-law would betray him.

But he soon calmed down.

Because he knew that he couldn't blame his brother-in-law too much, so he glared angrily at the two prosecutors in front of him.

It must be that these two prosecutors threatened his brother-in-law with jail time, just like they are threatening him now, few people can bear it.

"If you destroy the tape, that's tampering evidence."

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone reminded: "It's not a major crime, but it's enough to revoke bail."

"I have the videotape."

When the owner of the jewelry store came over, the defense lawyer negotiated with the two prosecutors on behalf of his client: "I suggest that he not destroy it. We don't need to tamper with the evidence, and we can win this lawsuit!"

"Don't expect me to thank you, we will send someone to fetch it."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone said lightly.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang. After picking it up, he looked out in surprise, then nodded and said, "Let them in."

The office door is opened.

Everyone looked, and saw the secretary push open the door, and Chuck and Detective Amy Santiago walked in.

"Chuck, what are you?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone frowned at Detective Amy Santiago and looked at Chuck questioningly.

"First-degree manslaughter, 4 to 12 years, the recommended sentence is 4 years."

Chuck looked directly at the jewelry store owner.

"Ben, what does that mean?"

The owner of the jewelry store and the defense lawyer looked confused.

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone frowned and said, "Chuck, you mean to suggest that we make such a plea deal? Have you already learned about the case?

We already know that he has improved security measures in order to reduce insurance premiums, including cameras, which must have taken real-time video of the incident at the time, which can prove that he may have protected himself at the beginning, but in the end he must have exceeded the scope of self-protection , belongs to murder! "

"You won't think so when you watch the tape!"

The defense lawyer subconsciously retorted: "Even if you insist on thinking so, the public and the jury who have seen the video will not think so. They will all believe that my client's shooting and killing them was an absolute heroic act! We will win the case." !"

"No, you are doomed!"

Chuck corrected straightforwardly.

"I know you, Detective Chuck!"

The defendant's jewelry store owner looked at Chuck and said in English with an accent: "You helped Tim win the justice he deserved. You are a good man! You are also a hero! I believe you can understand me, can't you? "

"I understand."

Chuck said blankly.

"You understand?"

The owner of the defendant's jewelry store looked at Chuck puzzled: "Since you understand, why do you want me to plead guilty? I am innocent! There are similar cases in Los Angeles and San Francisco, all of which were acquitted."

"This is New York!"

Chuck reminded.

"I know this is New York!"

The owner of the defendant's jewelry store became more and more confused: "But because this is New York, shouldn't we speak out for immigrants like us? Defend our rights?"

"It should."

Chuck said calmly, "But you are a legal immigrant, not an illegal immigrant!"

"..."

The owner of the defendant's jewelry store was stunned, and for a moment he didn't realize what Chuck meant.

Is it the other way around?

But he didn't understand, but the elite defendant's defense lawyer and the two prosecutors understood.

The defense attorney smiled knowingly.

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone and the African-American Assistant Prosecutor looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Ok!

Another joke from hell.

Detective Amy Santiago also understood the hell joke, and kept a straight face and didn't want to talk.

She didn't want to laugh at all, couldn't laugh.

"Detective Chuck, are you wrong?"

A few seconds later, the owner of the defendant jewelry store stammered and asked, "I am not an illegal immigrant, I am a legal immigrant. As the base of democracy and freedom, shouldn't New York protect us like Los Angeles and San Francisco? What about the rights of these legal immigrants?"

"why?"

Chuck looked at him and asked back.

"...Because this is New York! It is the dream harbor of all immigrants!"

The owner of the defendant jewelry store was helpless. He couldn't understand what Chuck was talking about.

"New York is New York, as opposed to Old York in England. It was originally a place of Native Americans, but it was seized by the British and named New York."

Chuck said with a blank expression: "Judging from the jurisprudence at the time, the first batch of Americans who moved into New York were all illegal immigrants, not legal immigrants like you!"

"..."

The owner of the defendant jewelry store was dumbfounded.

holy shit!

Can you still see it like this?
Although he did not study law, from basic common sense, as long as the Native Americans were treated as human beings, the first batch of Americans were indeed all illegal immigrants.

And New Yorkers even more so.

No wonder Detective Chuck said so strangely, saying that New York will respect and protect the rights of immigrants, but he is a legal immigrant, not an illegal immigrant, as if the rights of illegal immigrants are more worthy of protection than legal immigrants.

Originally, he thought that Chuck must have not understood what he said, so he made a mistake.

But now it seems that this is not a misunderstanding, it is clearly a sharp point of view that directly points to the essence.

Yes!

Even if the first batch of Americans were basically illegal immigrants, then for metropolises like New York, which symbolize the beacon of democratic freedom, illegal immigrants seem to be more popular than legal immigrants!
It's just that... thinking about it carefully, he can understand it, but it can't stop his sense of absurdity and tearing.

Could it be the truth?
I used to be myself, including all those who yearn for free democracy in the United States. Got it wrong?

The correct way to come to the United States is not to go through legal customs clearance, work hard, abide by the law, first get a green card, and then formally swear under the Stars and Stripes to become a real American?
It is illegal smuggling, as an illegal immigrant, climbing the border, hiding in black factories, taking to the streets at night with guns, practicing American housework, and entering and exiting seven times in the prison service industry, a pillar industry in the United States. real american?
If it is an illegal immigrant, all rights can be guaranteed. After such a thing happens, he can be called a hero, acquitted, get a notice fee for being on a show, even become famous and publish a book, and earn a lot of money?
It's not like he is now, he is a hero recognized by everyone, but he is targeted and bitten by the prosecutor, and he is going to be imprisoned for life?

"How could this be? No."

The owner of the defendant's jewelry store understood what Chuck meant, and made some reasonable speculations because his vision was expanded, but the more he thought about it, the more weird he felt.

"It is much more difficult for legal immigrants to come in than for illegal immigrants. There are not only asset requirements, but also political requirements. We are asked to completely abandon the motherland, even be hostile to the motherland, and leave no way out. Isn't it just to be a real American?

In contrast, illegal immigrants can sneak in from the border as long as they are individuals, spend some money or dare to work hard, and the difficulty is much lower.

But if the legal rights of legal immigrants are not as high as those of illegal immigrants, then why do we still use legal immigration channels? ! ! ! "

"Blind student, you discovered Huadian."

Chuck nodded frankly.

"Cough cough."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted with a cough: "Mr. Kutas, Chuck is joking with you. Of course, the law protects the legal rights of legal immigrants!"

"really?"

At this moment, the owner of the defendant jewelry store looked like Lu Yu. He gave the executive assistant prosecutor Ben Stone a cold look, and then looked at Chuck: "Detective Chuck, are you kidding?"

"Stone was right."

Chuck said blankly: "The law protects the legitimate rights and interests of legal immigrants."

When the defendant jewelry store owner was disappointed and Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone breathed a sigh of relief, Chuck added: "But the law cannot give privileges to legal immigrants! This is the right only to illegal immigrants!"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone: "…"

Ok!

Hell jokes never end, right?

Although Chuck's sarcasm made sense, he only felt it was a little too harsh.
