Almighty Coach

Nick Reese is a prosecutor, and he is the prosecutor with the highest conviction rate in the entire California. So far he has a 100% conviction rate.

In the British and American judicial systems, prosecutors in criminal cases are equivalent to domestic public prosecutors, responsible for national public prosecution of criminal cases. Although sometimes prosecutors are translated as prosecutors when translating, their responsibilities are very different from those of domestic prosecutors.

For a prosecutor, the conviction rate is equivalent to the "performance" and "highlight" of their work, and the level of the conviction rate will also directly affect the prospect and future development of a prosecutor. Many politicians in the United States started their careers as prosecutors, and when they run for congress in the future, their high conviction rate as prosecutors will become a bonus item.

Moreover, the British and American judicial systems are biased to protect the defendant to a certain extent, and the conviction rate is also a way to protect the rights and interests of the defendant. Because of the conviction rate indicator, the prosecution will not easily prosecute the suspect without a full conviction, so that there will be no prosecutors who prosecute the suspect with a "try it out" mentality, so that lead to a waste of a lot of public resources.

The police are responsible for solving cases. From the perspective of the police, in order to pursue the closing rate, they hope that the prosecutor will prosecute the suspect quickly. Therefore, it is not ruled out that the police will sue the case without collecting enough evidence in order to close the case quickly. And with the conviction rate, rash prosecutions with insufficient evidence are making fun of the future of prosecutors and their superiors. Prosecutors will not prosecute cases with insufficient evidence, which also forces the police to go to Collect enough evidence to prove the suspect's crime, so as to reduce the probability of the suspect being wronged.

Of course, there are also great flaws in this judicial system. In this judicial system, the defendant directly pleads guilty is considered a successful conviction, and the prosecutor often hopes to convict in this quick and easy way for his own conviction rate. , instead of having a long and fierce confrontation with defense lawyers in court. Therefore, the prosecutor will lower the sentence in exchange for the suspect's voluntary confession, so that the prosecutor can not only guarantee his conviction rate, but also save time and energy, and the suspect can also reduce the sentence. The penalty, on the contrary, was put aside. There is a very famous movie, which has a similar plot.

The conviction rate is very important. Most prosecutors have a relatively high conviction rate, and this Nick Reese prosecutor is definitely one of the best. The 100% conviction rate can almost show that the suspect is in his hands. You won't be able to run away.

At this time, Attorney Race was drinking coffee in the Los Angeles Police Department chief's office.

He is really drinking coffee, not being "invited" to the police station to "drink coffee" in Hong Kong dramas.

In front of Reese was a man with a severely bald head. This man was the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department.

"Nick, we have to find you this time as a last resort. You are the prosecutor with the highest conviction rate in the entire state of California. I believe you will be able to successfully convict that guy!" the police chief said.

"I have read the relevant files. It may be far-fetched to sue him for murder. If you sue him for deliberately hurting someone, it is said that the injured person has accepted his compensation and does not intend to pursue it any further. As for assaulting the police, he did assault the police at that time. However, considering that he was in a state of being kidnapped by others at the time, he could only use this method to ask for help, which is also a reasonable excuse.”

Reese spread his hands, and then said: "And it is recorded in the file that he did not cause any physical harm to any police officer. He just left a few holes in the police car. The injured policemen were all related to the kidnappers. It happened during the shootout. If we just sue him for vandalism, I can convict him 100 percent."

"What I want is not damage to public property, I want to sue him for assaulting the police!" The police chief continued angrily: "It is true that he did not hurt our policeman, but if his bullets were slightly shifted, the hole would not be Just stayed in the police car!"

"How about asking him to donate a sum of money to your police department? I heard that the coach is very rich." Reese said jokingly.

"Nick, you still don't understand my intention." The chief of police continued with a serious expression: "The purpose of his shooting at passers-by is to make passers-by call the police, and the purpose of his shooting at the police is to arouse the police's attention." Pay attention to rescue him, maybe he is not wrong to do it, but I don't want this kind of behavior to be encouraged, and I don't want others to learn from him."

The police chief put on a righteous expression: "It is indeed understandable to hurt others in order to save one's own life. Any person might make the same choice, but it does not mean that this Actions are just. He wants to save his own life. Doesn’t that innocent passer-by need to protect? The injured passer-by didn’t do anything wrong, he didn’t even do anything, he just passed by somewhere That's all. Then he was shot. Although he didn't die, should this innocent passer-by be sacrificed?"

Reese opened his mouth slightly, but didn't speak. The police chief's righteous appearance made Reese really unable to answer the question, and it was wrong to say anything to a person who stood on the moral high ground.

The chief of police went on to say: "Besides, he also shot at our policeman. Although he wanted to attract the policeman's attention, it can be regarded as calling the police in this way, but I still think this is a very bad method. As I said just now, at such a long distance, his gun just missed a little bit and hit our police officer! If his behavior is forgiven, then others will follow his example! That would cause us a lot of trouble."

"En?" Reese agreed, and then looked at the chief of police with interest.

The police chief continued: "Imagine that our police officer was on duty on the road, and then there was a gunshot, and someone in the distance shot at the police officer, and we caught that person afterwards, but he said he did it just to Call the police, don’t you think it’s absurd? If that person’s marksmanship is not very accurate, causing casualties to our police officers, or someone deliberately shoots at our police officers, and then argues that it is In order to call the police, will he escape punishment? I don't want our police officers to be sniped for no reason when they are on duty!"

"I was almost deceived by his upright and lingran appearance just now. I thought he had a sense of justice. It turned out that he was just worried that similar situations would happen again, which would bring more trouble to the police, or cause accidents to the police. Casualties. I think this is the real reason why he has to sue that coach? He doesn't want to see someone imitate that coach's behavior." A strange smile flashed across Reese's face.

"Director, I understand what you mean. Your purpose is not to put that coach in prison. You want to use this to convey an attitude, or to have a deterrent effect on other people, right?" Rui S asked.

"That's right, I don't want anyone to emulate that coach's behavior." The chief of police nodded.

"Well, although this case is very difficult, I will do my best." Reese agreed.

...

Nick Reese returned to his office.

"Mr. Terrell is waiting for you, Nick," said the colleague to Reese.

Terrell was Reese's boss and the head of all the prosecutors here.

"I'll be there right away." Reese nodded and walked towards Mr. Terrell's office.

Reese knocked on the door and approached Terrell's office, and Terrell was indeed waiting for Reese.

"Race, just came back from the police station? What's the specific situation?" Terrell asked.

"I talked to the chief of police. As you told me before, what he wants is not just vandalism. He wants us to sue the coach for intentional wounding and assaulting the police. If I didn't persuade him, he would probably want to sue. murdered." Reese informed his superiors of the Chief of Police's intentions.

"This is a little troublesome." Terrell frowned suddenly, and he said: "The penalties for intentionally hurting people and assaulting the police are not light. If we exchange the penalty on the condition that the penalty is reduced, the coach Will you plead guilty?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Reese spread his hands, and then said: "It's okay if the other party is just an ordinary person, but the coach is a rich man, he has a chain of physical training centers, and many well-known athletes are there. He trained there, and he could afford the best lawyers to help him with the lawsuit. If he was only accused of destroying public property, he would plead guilty in all likelihood, but he would definitely not plead guilty if he did not intentionally hurt people or assault the police. The lawsuit is over."

"So, this lawsuit must go to court." Terrell said.

"Yes, and I may go to court many times. I am ready to fight a protracted war." Reese replied.

Terrell showed a satisfied expression: "It's good that you have this awareness. In fact, after reading the file of this case, I have some sympathy for the coach. He is the victim of the whole incident. But we and the Los Angeles Police Department It’s been a great relationship for so many years, so I can’t say no to them. Nick, you know, we and the police department are mutually beneficial, and a lot of times I can’t help myself.”

"Mr. Terrell, I understand." Reese said empathetically.

"Well, I will leave this matter to you. If there is anything I need to solve, you can come to me directly." Terrell said.

"There is indeed one thing, I want to report to you first." Reese lowered his voice, and then said: "It is difficult to convict this case, so I plan to use the power of public opinion."

Terrell thought for a few seconds, then nodded: "I think it's okay, but it must be moderate, and don't make the matter too big. If the matter is too big, the trial process will also be affected."

...

"Would you hurt an innocent person to protect yourself?" "

Such a topic appeared in the media, and Dai Li's incident was directly regarded as a real case.

Soon, some media commentators expressed their views. This kind of issue easily attracted people's attention, and thus triggered many public discussions. Some media conducted online interactive voting, and some media simply went to the streets to conduct random interviews, asking some passers-by if they would hurt an innocent person in order to protect themselves.

Among them, the so-called questionnaire survey does not have much practical significance. If this kind of moral question is just a questionnaire survey, the subject of the survey will definitely answer from the commanding heights of morality, and some people will even say that their energy has been kidnapped. Killing does not harm an innocent person.

This is like someone asking passers-by on the street, if you have 10 billion, would you like to donate 5 billion to those poor people? I believe many people will say yes. Anyway, you don’t have 10 billion. Back pain, who wouldn't brag?

But if someone holds a donation box and hopes that passers-by will donate 100 yuan, how many people will donate? Anyone can afford 100 yuan, but if you don't talk about it, when it's time to pay, who will continue to stay on that moral high ground? Not to mention 5 billion, even 100 yuan is reluctant!

However, the momentum of public opinion is very unfavorable to Li Dai. Everyone will affect each other, especially some issues involving morality. It also becomes unimportant.

"Would you hurt an innocent person to protect yourself?" "

Such a topic appeared in the media, and Dai Li's incident was directly regarded as a real case.

Soon, some media commentators expressed their views. This kind of issue easily attracted people's attention, and thus triggered many public discussions. Some media conducted online interactive polls, and the results of the polls were not suspenseful. More than 95% of the voters said that they would not hurt an innocent person in order to protect themselves, while the other half answered "yes" , but "don't know".

Some media simply went to the streets to conduct random interviews, asking some ordinary citizens if they would hurt an innocent person in order to protect themselves.

"Sir, I have a question for you. Would you hurt an innocent person in order to protect yourself?" The female reporter walked up to a passerby with a microphone in her hand.

"Of course not! How could I do such an immoral thing? I would rather be hurt than hurt an innocent person!" The passer-by replied without hesitation. Looks like a superhero in a comic book.

"Ma'am, let me ask you a question, would you hurt an innocent person in order to protect yourself?" The female reporter found another target.

"No, absolutely not!" The woman immediately shook her head: "I have a moral bottom line, and I will not inflict pain on others."

"Sir, I have a question for you. Would you hurt an innocent person in order to protect yourself?" The female reporter asked a middle-aged strong man this time.

"Why do you ask such a strange question?" The middle-aged strong man asked back.

"It was because of a recent kidnapping case in Los Angeles. The hostage fell in love without calling the police. He shot a passerby, and then attracted the police, so he was rescued." The female reporter said.

"My God, since that hostage has a gun in his hand, why didn't he kill those kidnappers, instead he chose to shoot a passerby!" The middle-aged strong man showed an exaggerated expression, and he continued: "If it was me If I do, I will blow the kidnapper's head off with a gun instead of hurting an innocent passer-by!"

This so-called questionnaire does not have much practical significance. If this kind of moral question is just a questionnaire, the subject of the survey will definitely answer from the commanding heights of morality, and will give the most hypocritical answer .

This is like someone asking passers-by on the street, if you have 10 billion, would you like to donate 5 billion to the poor? Back pain, who wouldn't brag?

But if someone holds a donation box and hopes that passers-by will donate 100 yuan, how many people will actually donate? Anyone can afford 100 yuan, but when it comes time to pay, I am afraid that many people will be discouraged?

He has the ability to pretend to be 5 billion, but he is reluctant to pay 100 yuan! This is not only ridiculous, but also a cruel reality, and it is the hypocrisy of human nature.

However, this kind of moral kidnapping is very unfavorable to Li Dai. People will affect each other, especially some issues involving morality, everyone will try to stand on the commanding heights of morality.

When most people start to examine others from a moral height, right and wrong and the truth become unimportant, leaving only the "seemingly just" criticism.
