American TV series Detective's Daily Life

"I have something to tell you."

Just when little Leonard was complaining, Kelinda came over. Little Leonard was silent for a moment, and his eyes only dared to peek.

"Leonard, go find Mike."

Kelinda looked at little Leonard.

"you know me?"

Little Leonard's young face was slightly red. Seeing Kelinda's knowing expression, he lowered his head and agreed before leaving: "Oh, okay."

Kelinda waited until little Leonard walked away, then sat next to Chuck, looked at Chuck's lunch, and mocked: "I didn't expect you to like Indian food."

Chuck frowned and looked at Kelinda who was very close to him, and said calmly: "Every dish has its own quality."

"... Let's get down to business."

Kelinda's face turned dark and she stared at Chuck: "You've been watching the jury for so long, have you noticed anything?"

"Did you see that person?"

When Chuck got down to business, he motioned for her to look at an old man with a white beard in the jury: "Although he is not the most handsome, richest and wisest, he is the head of the jury, and his decision will largely determine the outcome. the result of the lawsuit."

"How much do you earn per year as a detective?"

Kelinda had investigated it beforehand and naturally knew this, so she showed a speechless expression again and couldn't help but ask the question she was most concerned about.

Most people would not take the initiative to ask someone such a private question. This is a very rude behavior.

But she could tell that Chuck was no ordinary person, and she was an investigator and sometimes had to ask these intimate questions to elicit the answers she needed.

Now she feels that she must know this, otherwise it will be really heartbreaking and uncomfortable.

"You think I can make a lot of money like this, so you can do it too."

Chuck glanced at her.

"How dare I compare to Dr. Wolfe."

Kelinda laughed at herself: "You went to college at the age of 15, and at the age of 20 you got a doctorate in accounting from the University of Texas at Austin, which ranks number one in accounting in the United States. Now you are only 22 years old and you are already famous in the accounting industry. Sir, you are a genius, but ordinary people like us are certainly not as good as you."

Having said that, the emphasis in her tone was on the word accountant. She was obviously still unconvinced that Chuck, an accountant, was the one who asked them to investigate and took far more money than they did.

“If you ask for a salary increase moderately, you can succeed, but if you ask too much, you will be fired.”

Chuck lowered his eyes: "For your own good, it's better that you don't know."

He was not surprised that Kelinda had investigated him and casually shared her resume.

When people live in society, they must have clear and normal growth experiences that can be verified.

Otherwise, it would become a suspicious black account.

"..."

Kelinda paused.

She was indeed planning to use Chuck's detective income as a standard to ask for a raise from her boss. She had an estimate in mind before, and thought that even though Chuck's charges were so exaggerated, it actually took several years to catch such a taken advantage of.

But now it seems that she still underestimated Chuck.

She wanted to continue asking.

However, thinking about the current economic crisis, the sluggish market, and even their law firm was laying off employees, if she really knew a number that made her mentality completely unbalanced, she really didn't know what to do.

She couldn't bear it if she didn't get more salary.

The boss added more than she expected and fired her directly. It would be quite difficult to find the same job again. Moreover, she had been working in this law firm for several years and was familiar with all aspects.

My best friend is here too...

"What did the head of the jury think?"

Kelinda finally reluctantly agreed with Chuck's statement that it was better not to know and changed the subject.

"He hasn't made up his mind yet."

Chuck said calmly: "However, they generally have sympathy for Mrs. Florrick, and this has also had some positive influence on Mr. Ball. It is a wise choice for you to choose Mrs. Florrick as your defense lawyer." .”

In the American jury system, the jury convicts and the judge imposes the sentence.

A jury is usually made up of 12 people, and they must all agree that they are guilty, or they must all agree that they are not guilty, otherwise the case will be repeated and a new jury will be selected for a new trial.

People have a herding effect. Under the persuasion of prestigious people, or due to external public opinion or other pressures, they will generally reach a consensus and either determine guilt or innocence.

If found guilty, the judge imposes a sentence appropriate to the law.

Of course, the judge also has the right to overturn the jury's decision of guilt or innocence, but that would be too rude and will generally not happen.

When Kelinda heard her best friend's name, she immediately turned her head and pretended to look at the jury, not daring to make any eye contact with Chuck.

She was really worried that Chuck would reveal her innermost secrets again.

"The law firm chose Alicia more for her abilities than for her identity."

Kelinda rebutted the underlying meaning of Chuck's words: "Alicia is a very good lawyer."

“Identity is also a type of ability.”

Chuck said calmly.

Who doesn’t know the famous Mr. and Mrs. Florrick?

My husband is a well-known attorney general in Chicago and is known as the Big Boss of Chicago. Not long ago, a videotape of a prostitute paying for money was released and he resigned voluntarily.

My wife, who had been a housewife for more than ten years, had no choice but to bid farewell to the luxury house for the sake of this family and go back to work. With the help of her former classmate and admirer Will Gardner, she entered a law firm and took over one case after another. .

Public opinion generally sympathized with Mrs. Florrick, who was teased in this video about whether she wanted to do such extravagant activities by her husband's money-spending girl, and who was still supporting the family despite being divorced.

Diane, another boss of the law firm, agreed to hire Mrs. Florrick for a more critical reason. After all, the female lawyer's husband had been the attorney general for many years, and her personal connections were first-rate in Chicago.

Especially for lawyers like them who need to deal with prosecutors and courts, this kind of personal relationship is definitely the best resource.

Even though the husband of the female lawyer resigned and was imprisoned for trial on suspicion of using public funds to support women, those close to him are still willing to support him and are investing money and effort to get him out and allow him to continue to participate. Elect an attorney general or even a governor.

I believe that with such a legendary turnaround and counterattack, the prodigal son will be able to turn around without losing money. The former high-ranking man in Chicago, who could only be elected governor, has already become a leader in the future election and has the attitude of proclaiming his clan.

And all this requires the support of the wife, a female lawyer.

Therefore, the energy that female lawyers’ potential connections can bring is unimaginable.

These things are far more critical than the abilities of female lawyers.

Otherwise, no matter how good she was back then, she only cared about her family after more than ten years, how could she have the opportunity to frequently appear in major cases and kill everyone after she came back?

Besides, she couldn't have been so outstanding back then, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to give up her career to support her husband.

An incredibly outstanding person naturally has his own arrogance and pursuits. Unless he is a cool heroine template in film and television novels, it is impossible for him to waste his talent like this.
