The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 477 Good words are hard to persuade, damn ghost!

"privilege……"

The owner of the jewelry store murmured the word absently.

Legal immigrants with assets, skills, and political threshold requirements can only have verbal legal rights at most, but illegal immigrants can really want basic civil rights.

In the mouth of Detective Chuck, this basic civil right has become a privilege.

At this moment, he seemed to realize it.

If according to the logic of Detective Chuck, Americans are fundamentally illegal immigrants, then the free democracy and other beautiful American dreams it promotes are not true.

No really, sorry if you're not a solid American, all you have is lip service.

And verbal promises are like farting.

Really, if you're a decent American, you have a wonderful right to this propaganda.

And the basic rights that can be fully realized are a privilege for most others who do not enjoy them.

"Mr. Kutas, you are right to listen to Chuck!"

Detective Amy Santiago reminded.

"First-degree manslaughter?"

The defendant's jewelry store owner came to his senses, reflected on Chuck's suggestion, and shook his head violently: "No, no! I'm not guilty! I'm not guilty! Ask anyone on the street and they'll tell you I A hero, not a criminal!"

"Haven't you read American comics? Street heroes are criminals in American law! Batman and Spiderman are both!"

Chuck said with a blank expression: "You should have figured out these basic common sense before immigrating here. The United States never hides these things. Now you don't even know this. Why did you immigrate to the United States?"

"..."

The defendant's jewelry store owner was left speechless.

What can he say?
He was deceived?

It was in vain that he studied so hard in the civics class to get a green card. He thought that being an American would really be full of rights and freedom as taught in the civics class.

But now he is really naive.

The world is as black as crows.

Light and dark coexist.

There is often extreme darkness in the brightest places.

He actually ignored this basic logic. He only saw the United States as the most dazzling lighthouse, but he forgot about the extreme darkness where everything is unspoken.

If he had known this, he should have stayed in Greece and enjoyed the dignity of the common people.

That's right!

He is a Greek immigrant.

Citizens of these small developed countries in Europe look down on Americans who have only been around for more than 200 years. In their eyes, only others want to immigrate to their country, and there are no rich people like them who immigrate out.

But he thinks differently from most people in the country.

He didn't want to lie down and live a so-called high-welfare and affluent life.

He knew that these were all for food, and once he finished eating, he would take jujube pills.

The great power game will speed up the speed of this pill.

Compared with the dream of enjoying the dignity of ordinary people, he has a soft spot for the American dream.

Those democracies and freedoms and human rights are so fascinating.

It's like holding a gun.

In Greece, only law enforcement officers such as the police can carry guns.

In the United States, everyone can own a gun.

He likes guns and has watched a lot of American shootout movies. He just thinks American Juhejutsu is really spicy!

Facts have proved that after training, he has indeed become a good shooter. At least he can shoot at the robbers. No matter whether he is one-on-one or he is one-on-one, he has won the final victory.

That's right!

This is not the first time he has fought back to kill an armed robber.

Before he came to New York to settle down, he shot and killed a robber who was robbing with a gun in Libao, and he was published in the local newspaper and became a hero in the hearts of the people.

Back then nothing happened.

Why did he end up in New York, the most democratic and free city, and he did the same thing, so why would he be prosecuted for murder?

These days, he can't help but wonder, what's wrong with New York?
Now, under the reminder of Detective Chuck, he seems to understand, but not fully understand.

All in all it's a mess.

If he knew that the immigrants who have tried everything possible to come here, have gone through a lot of hardships, risked their lives to live until now, opened a jewelry store in New York, and finally realized the American dream, but faced this kind of bad thing that he can't fully understand, what would he give up? Bullshit American dream, I would rather stay in Greece where jujube pills are eaten, and enjoy the dignity of the common people!
As for not taking the legal immigration channel, but taking the illegal immigration channel?

Who is a decent person willing to go through illegal channels?
If it is not really impossible, who wants to risk their lives and give up everything to fight, who is willing to drag their families to the border and crawl to the United States in this purgatory on earth where the rate of harassment and rape of women is at least [-] to [-] percent? ?
In the process of waiting for immigration, when he encountered difficulties and it was difficult to pass, he also thought about crossing the border and following the same path of illegal immigrants.

But as soon as he inquired, he immediately shuddered.

At least 67 types of DNA have been detected in the eight-year-old girl on the border, all belonging to those who are said to be attracted to children.

And that's not even counting the 'polite gentlemen' who are willing to go to safety measures.

Thinking about the outrageously high harassment and rape rate of at least sixty to seventy percent, a decent man like him with a wife and children couldn't even think about it.

Still have to go through the legal immigration channel.

Now that I think about it carefully, those illegal immigrants can even bear this kind of horrible life in purgatory. After entering the United States, which is too far away from heaven and too close to the United States, it is not just adaptation in advance, like a fish in water.

However, if the United States attracts such desperadoes who dare to fight for their lives, and psychologically distorted people who regard the high probability of horror encounters with themselves, their wives and children as nothing, then it will be no wonder that the environment is better.

It was because he was so dazed that he completely ignored these warnings on the bright side again and again, insisted on bravely going to hell, acting as a joke of hell, and now it has really become a joke of hell.

"Batman, Spiderman..."

The owner of the defendant's jewelry store was reluctant to talk about these two famous superheroes. Even if he hadn't read American comics, he would still have an impression of the two names.

"You want to say that even if Batman and Spiderman are criminals in the legal sense, they can live a good life and continue to be superheroes?"

Chuck calmly said: "The rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutations. You have neither the wealth technology that allows you to avoid police investigation, nor the buff mutation that allows you to avoid prosecution.

You're neither Batman nor Spiderman, so you got caught and are now facing two second-degree murder charges.

I will tell you the final result now. If you do not agree to this plea deal, you will be acquitted of a second-degree murder, convicted of a second-degree murder, and then imprisoned for 25 years to life. "

"..."

The defendant's jewelry store owner was left speechless.

Yes!

He is neither a Batman who has money to do whatever he wants, nor a mutant Spiderman with buffs. He is just an embarrassing ordinary person who has worked hard to get a green card and is not an official American citizen.

"Why is one innocent and the other guilty?"

The owner of the defendant's jewelry store was speechless for a long time before answering the question unwillingly and incomprehensibly.

"You don't understand such a simple truth? You really didn't do any homework before immigrating, did you?"

Chuck said with a blank expression: "Americans like to compromise, especially court jury members. If there is only one crime, it will be difficult for them to choose, but if there are two, they will most likely deny one and accept the other.

In your case.

Both are also charged with second-degree murder.

But you are a recognized hero on the street, and you did commit murder from a legal point of view, so in order to compromise, and also to show your objective and independent thinking, you must deny a second-degree murder and accept a second-degree murder.

If you don’t make a deal with the prosecutor now, no matter how your lawyer tells you that you have the advantage of public opinion, but you can’t see the underlying logic and common sense, you will change from 4 years in prison to 25 years or even forever in prison.

How to choose is up to you. "

The owner of the defendant's jewelry store was very conflicted.

This is not only the difference between 4 years of prison life and 25 years or even forever of prison life. He has not yet been officially naturalized in the United States. If he chooses 4 years of prison, with this stain, he may never be able to become an American citizen.

It doesn't matter how you commit a crime after naturalization, after all, it is the state of freedom.

But before naturalization, face is always decent.

He has worked so hard all these years, is it all in vain?Once beaten back to its original shape?

Do not!
He still has hope!
Although Detective Chuck's subversive analysis is reasonable, but Detective Chuck is an advisor to the police and the prosecution after all, and will not really stand on his side and consider him.

Yes!

This is just another intimidation tactic.

In order to force him to compromise and plead guilty!

So insidious!

He almost fell for it!

He is innocent!

"I am innocent!"

The owner of the defendant jewelry store looked at Chuck suddenly with anger.

"Yeah, only criminals go to jail."

Seeing that his client insisted on defending his innocence again, the defense lawyer immediately took up the conversation, fearing that the client would be influenced by Chuck.

no way!
He doesn't care whether his client will go to jail or not!
He only cares about the influence of this case.

How much money does the party have?

And the various rich groups attracted by the storm of public opinion are of great benefit to him in the future as well as in the present.

For example, with the ferment of public opinion on the case, the National Rifle Association has contacted them and is willing to provide them with the greatest help, preparing to make his client a model of a hero with a gun, and further publicize that "everyone holds a gun, it will not cause chaos" and everything The biggest fear is the lack of firepower, the criminals upgrade their weapons, and the good guys have to double up' concept, making a lot of money.

The resources and money that the NRA has, that's massive.

Leaving him a little bit out, it would be inexhaustible.

This is the real big head.

And the premise of all this is that his client needs to insist on the defense of innocence.

If you pleaded guilty and made a plea deal, who would want to deal with your uncharacteristic and explosive nobody case.

So his defense lawyer knew that what Detective Chuck said hit the nail on the head, and it was almost a foregone conclusion, but he still wanted to let his client take a gamble.

The bet won, and he won.

If he lost the bet, the person involved would be imprisoned for life, and he had nothing to lose.

That is to say, Detective Chuck is a little daunting, and he dare not make it too obvious, otherwise he would not even let him speak, and would directly drag his client away.

Well now, my client has struggled several times and decided to stick to the defense of innocence.

Then it wasn't that he was instigated with ill intentions, and he wasn't afraid that Detective Chuck would break his mind.

"Shooting people around in the street, what do you call that?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone frowned at the defense attorney.

He didn't interrupt Chuck immediately, and tacitly agreed that Chuck went overboard and directly gave the defendant a prosecution and defense deal that he didn't want to give, which was already for Chuck's sake.

According to his original intention, he wanted to strictly charge the defendant with second-degree murder!
Because of various evidences, the gunman was running away at the time, and even drove away, so there was no need to chase him to the end.

Whether it is according to the law or according to the standards of normal people, this is the standard excessive defense and second-degree murder.

That is, Chuck took the initiative to come over and speak.

Otherwise, for the crime of first-degree manslaughter, 4 to 12 years, and the minimum sentence of 4 years is recommended?
Think beautiful!
"American hero!"

The defense attorney laughed: "Once they enter the store, my client has the right to shoot."

"The deceased's car was 80 yards away from the store. It is impossible for the seriously injured deceased to survive the car."

African-American assistant prosecutor reminded.

"As long as one of the jurors is the shop owner and can empathize, the best result you can get is a mistrial!"

Defense attorneys showed no signs of weakness.

He really thinks he can win!
At least before Detective Chuck intervenes, there is a good chance of winning!

"Are you going to block your client's future on that?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone glanced at the defendant jewelry store owner, which was both a questioning of the defense attorney and a reminder to the defendant: "Mr. Kutas, spent 4 years in Bedford prison, and in Antica. Twenty-five years in prison, trust me, you'd prefer the former."

Sentence is one aspect, and the prison where you are sentenced to prison is also an important consideration.

After all, the highest-level prison for the rich can transform their mansion into a prison, go out to work during the day, and come back to 'jail' at night.

What's the point of punishment like life imprisonment?
"You want me to admit that I was wrong to defend myself?"

The owner of the defendant jewelry store glanced at Executive Assistant Attorney Ben Stone and Chuck: "I don't want to make a deal! I don't want to sit in jail for a day!"

When the defense lawyer tried to interrupt him, he interrupted the defense lawyer loudly first, and continued to say loudly: "I have heard enough of you, I am innocent! I know similar cases, Los Angeles, San Francisco. Baltimore, like People like me who defended themselves didn't end up in jail! Ask anyone on the street, I did the right thing! Nobody protected us!"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Chuck: "I thought there would be someone on our side, but now it seems that there is no one at all! They are all the same breed!"

"Mr. Kutas..."

Detective Amy Santiago wanted to say, 'Chuck is on your side,' but could only watch as the accused jewelry store owner slammed the door and left.

"Chuck, what now?"

Detective Amy Santiago smiled wryly.

"Continue to slap your heart and face!"

Chuck was unmoved.

Originally, he thought that the defendant was a general public who was oppressed and resisted, so he took the initiative to help a group for the sake of Detective Amy Santiago.

But now it's clear that good words can't persuade the goddamn ghost.

I can't recognize the essence of the United States, so I immigrated here laboriously. I want to be an American and realize the American dream. Now I am facing reality, and I still don't want to wake up from the dream. I can't tell the good from the bad.

It deserves it too!
