American TV series Detective's Daily Life

"how so……"

The defendant jewelry store owner tried his best to turn his head to look at his defense lawyer, but saw that the other party looked disappointed but his eyes were calm.

Just like the calmness in Detective Chuck's eyes.

"We can appeal."

Facing his client's blank gaze, the defense lawyer shrugged, with an expression that showed that he didn't know why this was happening, but the reality happened, it happened, and he could only accept it.

He was also disappointed with this.

After all, this is the supreme honor of defeating Detective Chuck for the first time.

But if you lose, you lose.

He is neither the first nor the last.

And it's not him who's sitting in jail.

Um.

Disappointed, but not at all hopeless.

It is indeed possible to appeal.

But he doesn't think the results will change.

"how so?"

The defendant jewelry store owner, who couldn't get an answer from his defense lawyer, couldn't help turning his head to look at Chuck and shouted from the distance.

Chuck glanced at Detective Amy Santiago beside him.

Detective Amy Santiago understood and walked over with a complicated expression. He signaled to the bailiff who was coming to take away the defendant jewelry store owner not to move for the time being. He took out his mobile phone and put the screen in front of the jewelry store owner for him to watch.

The jewelry store owner was shocked.

But it was a video captured by a camera inside a bus.

An African-American passenger asked the bus driver to stop, but the bus driver refused because this was not a stopping point, and the two had a quarrel.

The African-American passenger skillfully took out his pistol and made threats.

The bus driver didn't tolerate him at all, he took out his pistol, raised his hand and fired.

African-American passengers are indeed experts and are quick to fight back.

The two performed the most classic American Iaijutsu in the bus.

The degree of authenticity was definitely far superior to the rookie pecking between him and the two habitual armed robbers with rookie marksmanship who he chased and killed.

After a classic American Iai operation, the bus driver was shot in the arm, and the African-American passenger was shot twice.

After the African-American passengers fled in panic, the bus driver calmly stood at the door of the bus and observed to prevent the other party from returning the weapon, and then chased him out and fired again.

"He's doing the right thing, he's doing the right thing!"

The defendant jewelry store owner had watched the entire video. Although he guessed that this video might have affected his verdict, he still couldn't help shouting.

"He did do the right thing."

Detective Amy Santiago nodded and said: "There will probably be no problems later, but the perspective the jury sees is different from yours. You only paid attention to the fact that the bus driver was legally protecting his own safety.

But what the jury saw was that in addition to these two parties, there were several other passengers on the bus who were frightened half to death by the sudden and exciting shootout.

What do you think they will think? "

"..."

The defendant jewelry store owner was taken away by the bailiff with his mouth open and despair in his eyes.

It doesn’t matter if you do it right.

He could already understand that his case was such a big deal. Not to mention that the jury would have definitely convicted him of second-degree murder in New York as Detective Chuck said before. Now this unexpected situation has arisen. In order to prevent this case from becoming a The weather vane allowed more similar situations to happen, and he became a victim.

Who made him resist?

In this sudden case, was the bus driver also influenced and encouraged by his case, so he decisively drew his gun and fought back?

Regardless of whether it is true in reality, it certainly is in the eyes of the jury.

And if the bus driver doesn't resist, will the other passengers in the bus, who make the jury feel more immersed, frightened half to death by this sudden American Iaijutsu?

What?

Was it the African-American passenger who first pulled out a gun and threatened him?

If he takes out his own, as long as no one resists, he may not be able to shoot!

What?

Bus drivers don’t dare to gamble?

Then why didn’t you just comply with the African-American passenger’s request and park illegally in the first place?

Don't risk our lives!

What?

Will we passengers be unhappy if we park illegally in the first place?

We are very generous. Once we see the "friendly" faces of African-American passengers, we will never dare to complain in person about indiscriminate parking and wasting our time.

In short, after the jury watched this unexpected video, they immediately felt that this case must not have a worse impact.

If everyone dares to resist, then that's okay!

Perhaps this kind of high-intensity legal counterattack that continues for a period of time will eventually make criminals wary and not want to die but can't afford it.

But what's the cost?

No one is willing to pay the price anyway.

It’s not that they are stupid!

It’s not that they don’t see that sacrifices must be made to completely reverse this vicious cycle of ever-increasing crime rates.

If this kind of action and sacrifice can really be carried out consistently, let them know that there will definitely be a certain result, and the crime in New York will be greatly reduced, and they will admit it.

But history and reality clearly tell them, don’t be stupid!

If someone really holds this idea, they will not become a bus driver, but will only become a jewelry store owner sitting in jail, and become the price to be sacrificed, but the result is completely useless.

So they shrewdly suppressed Detective Chuck's dissatisfaction with their prediction and chose to teach the poor jewelry store owner who wanted to be a hero another lesson.

A lesson you would never say in a civics class, but this is the reality of a free America!

American heroes are criminals!

The comics have made it very clear.

"No!!!"

In the court, only the wife of the jewelry store owner was still crying bitterly.

"What do you think now?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone looked at the jewelry store owner's wife like this. He was kind-hearted and felt a little uncomfortable. However, thinking of the American Iaijutsu duel that happened so close just now, he still tried his best to look away and looked sharply. To Chuck.

"She is quite beautiful and there is a high probability that she will not be deported from the United States."

Chuck looked at the jewelry store owner's wife who was crying.

"..."

When Monica heard this, she looked at Rachel and her mouth twitched.

Okay!

This is the connotation of Ross’s white supremacy and machismo.

"...That's not what I asked!"

Although Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone did not know about Ross's very different statements about Julie and the jewelry store owner, Tim, he also felt the connotation and silently reminded: "I'm talking about that sudden case! Do you have any idea?"

"The black eats the black."

Chuck said bluntly.

"..."

Executive Assistant Attorney Ben Stone's blood pressure rose again.

"Chuck, let's get down to business."

The African-American assistant prosecutor smiled bitterly.

Chuck's words were obviously racist, but as an African American, he didn't feel that offended.

Because he heard the true meaning of Chuck's words.

That is, what would happen if the bus driver was not African-American, but white, or another ethnic group?

They will definitely be arrested and prosecuted as soon as possible.

Otherwise, there will definitely be a wave of lively demonstrations, and they will not be so peaceful and non-violent.

Precisely because the bus drivers are also African-Americans, they do not have these political pressures. This allows them, as legal professionals, to better consider the issue purely from a legal perspective and feel that the bus driver is not a big problem.

Probably won't be prosecuted.

However, bus drivers will most likely be fired by the bus company.

Because the bus driver is not a police officer after all, and does not have the strong organizational backing of the police union, so even if the African-American passenger does not die, the bus driver does not have the benefit of paid leave.

"You can do whatever you want with a gun."

When Chuck saw the African-American assistant prosecutor looking at him like this, he also cooperated and changed his explanation.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Executive Assistant Attorney Ben Stone, whose blood pressure was rising, couldn't listen anymore.

"The African-American passenger asked to stop and get off the bus. I just want to ask, did he get what he wanted in the end?"

Chuck looked at Ben Stone calmly.

"..."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone was dazzled by Chuck's interpretation of this angle. He wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to complain.

indeed!

Although the African-American passenger was shot twice, he did manage to stop and get off at a non-stop station as he wished.

To a certain extent, does this mean that if you have a gun, you can do whatever you want?

This joke is the same as black and white, both are a bit too hellish.

He heard the cry of the jewelry store owner's wife again. He thought of the dazed and desperate look in the jewelry store owner's eyes after he was found guilty. He thought of what Chuck said about gangsters and guns who can do whatever they want. An uncontrollable thought flashed through his ears. passed his mind.

A jewelry store owner from Greece, although his skin is darker due to the abundant sunshine all year round at Love Beach, it is still not dark enough after all...

The African-American assistant prosecutor was afraid that his partner and boss would be angry with Chuck again, so he quickly reached out and pulled him away.

The case has reached this point, it is over.

Right or wrong is no longer important.

There is no need to make each other unhappy over this kind of thing.

"This is too scary."

Watching the two people leave, Rachel touched her face and said in fear: "I originally thought that encountering a violent New York girl in a taxi would be scary, but compared with this irritable driver who shoots whenever he disagrees, The violent New York girl is pretty peaceful.”

"Have you ever been beaten while driving a taxi?"

Detective Amy Santiago said amusedly when she heard this.

"yes."

Rachel got angry when she mentioned that incident: "Whenever I become as powerful as Monica, I must fight back!"

“It’s no longer time to retaliate against wrongs!”

Monica said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that if you resist, she will stop beating you and just pull out a gun?"

"damn it!"

Rachel thought about it and could only curse bitterly: "It seems that I can't get revenge."

Then he worriedly said: "Now I don't even dare to take taxis, buses, or subways. It's too scary."

"You can buy a car and drive it yourself."

Looking at Rachel's beautiful face and high-end dress, Detective Amy Santiago didn't think she could afford a car.

"I have no money."

Rachel spread her hands: "I cut up the credit card my dad gave me and vowed to be self-reliant and not let him call me a little girl or dictate my life anymore.

My current job can’t even support myself, so how can I afford to buy a car? "

"It's okay, I can send you off!"

Monica hugged Rachel and said.

"Come on."

Rachel shook her head and said: "You are usually so busy. Peggy alone is enough for you. Cleaning the house and other work take up most of your time. How can you have time to give me gifts often? You still have to buy a car." car."

"You have money!"

Chuck reminded her when he saw her distress.

"I have money?"

Rachel was stunned and looked over: "Where did I get the money?"

“You can apply for the Wolf Long-Term Strategic Research Partner Award.”

Chuck said calmly: "Although your level is too low and you can only apply for the lowest level 1 Wolf Partner Award for the time being, the bonus is enough to cover a series of expenses for buying, maintaining, parking, and driving your car."

"What?!"

Rachel exclaimed in surprise: "And this prize?"

"certainly."

Chuck said expressionlessly: "Even Chandler and MAX can get paid as part-time assistants. You wouldn't think that Wolf's long-term strategic research partners can only be selected after strict selection and comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and labor. Don’t you deserve a bonus?”

"It matches! It matches so well!"

Rachel thought about the sadness of being dragged up by Monica early in the morning to go for a morning jog, and then thought about the series of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical indicators that she had to complete if she did not go through the back door to participate in professional competitions.

Then she thought about how thanks to Rose's help, she had the opportunity to go through the back door and get on the bus successfully.

But it was not all happiness, there was also sadness and pain. She immediately felt that this Wolf Partner Award was so suitable, she was so worthy!

"Chuck, this..."

Monica couldn't laugh or cry.

Unlike Rachel, she immediately guessed what the Wolf Partner Award was. Chuck must have made it up when he saw that Rachel was really worried about taking public transportation and had no money to buy, maintain, park, or drive a car. .

She was determined to persuade Rachel to give up.

After all, in her opinion, she and Chuck made a free two-way choice, so what's the point of taking money?

Detective Amy Santiago also had a strange expression. After all, she was a police officer. When she heard this, she became more sensitive. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so she immediately turned her head away, controlled her expression, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"What's wrong?"

Rachel was a little surprised when she saw the reaction of the Eskimo sister's best friend. Then she also reacted after Monica winked and looked at Chuck hesitantly: "Well, this does seem a bit inappropriate... I don't want my father. I want your money, if Ross and the others find out about this..."

"You don't have to apply."

Chuck didn't persuade either.

Anyway, the bonus is there. If you are willing to apply, just apply. If you don't want to, don't force it.

"Monica..."

Rachel's pretty face suddenly fell, she really wanted Chuck to help her make the decision.

After she escaped from marriage, she was encouraged by Ross and the others, and she impulsively cut off all the credit cards her father gave her, just so that her father would stop calling her little girl.

But in fact, she had long regretted it.

It's a pity that her father held her back, saying that she was his pride, talking about her self-reliance when meeting everyone, and saying that she was a role model among the three daughters of Green, which made her unable to regret it even if she wanted to.

Now, Chuck finally provided her with a bonus. This lowest level bonus was enough to buy, maintain, park, and drive a car, and the higher bonuses were still available.

The key is that she takes this money with a clear conscience!

Um.

Just like she did with her dad's.
