Darkwalker of the Sky World

Chapter 37: The case where the plot begins

As a district prosecutor, Zhou Zhen is responsible for the review and prosecution of most cases in his jurisdiction, and has reached a plea deal with the suspect and the opponent's lawyer.

The U.S. prosecutor system is not very different from China, but it is more independent.

The relationship between prosecutors and police in the United States is characterized by mutual exchange: prosecutors rely on the police to make legitimate arrests and provide definite evidence, and the police rely on the prosecutors to turn their investigations into convictions.

On the one hand, it supervises whether the interrogation process is legal and whether the evidence and confessions are established; on the other hand, it decides whether to initiate a lawsuit.

Or, sign a plea agreement with the suspect to reach a plea bargain.

Because the confession of guilt or not is related to the waste of a large amount of government resources. Generally, as long as the offender is willing to confess the guilt, the prosecutor will appropriately reduce the sentence according to the system.

Originally sentenced to five years, the pleaded guilty was sentenced to four years, and only one court visit was enough.

However, if the criminal does not plead guilty, a case may be handled for several years, which consumes a lot of time and energy of the police and prosecutors, and a lot of government administrative resources.

It is not cost-effective to spend hundreds of thousands, or even millions, for a case, and only to increase the two-year sentence in the end.

Zhou Zhen rarely intervenes in supervision, so he has a good relationship with the police. Every month, he can get a large amount of police surplus bullets and go to the shooting range to shoot free guns.

This is not bribery, because it only involves a resource occupation problem, and they have ways to avoid this suspicion.

In the police station, Zhou Zhen was warmly embraced by the Central District Police Flower Sarah, a thirty-year-old female Hercules with wider shoulders than Zhou Zhen.

The Central Police Station, including the civilian staff, has only six female police officers, with an average age of 42 years and an average weight of 90 kilograms.

Therefore, Sara, who is only 30 years old, is a well-deserved policeman.

"Kevin, if it wasn't for the case, you would have forgotten where the door of our police station was going?"

"Of course not, don't forget, every morning when I go to the prosecutor's office to work, I will pass by here. Tallahassee is a small city..."

Sarah brightened the muscles of her arm and said, "Should we go to learn more on weekends?"

Sara is a fitness freak, as is Zhou Zhen. Two people often compete with each other. If they don't show off some real skills, if they don't play dead hands, Zhou Zhen will really be unable to deal with her for a while.

"Not this weekend, I will accompany Marian to St. George's Island on Friday, and I won't be back until Sunday night."

"That's a shame, I wish you all a good time."

St. George's Island is a long and narrow island in Appalachian Bay with fine beaches. It is not a well-known tourist destination. There are few tourists from foreign enemies, but the locals like it very much.

They would not go to a tourist destination like Miami, unless it was to see beautiful women.

When entering Cooper's office, he saw the victim of this case, Barbara, a child who was not yet an adult.

Accompanied by her parents, she accepted an inquiry from another aunt and policewoman.

Zhou Zhen knocked on the door and opened the door directly. Sheriff Cooper rolled his eyes and said, "Can't you let me exercise my master's rights?"

Zhou Zhen sat down opposite him unceremoniously, and said with a smile: "Do you want me to go out, and then wait for you to say please come in, come in again?"

"Forget it." Cooper, who was sitting behind his desk, pushed the information he had read, along with several inquiry records, to Zhou Zhen. "Look at the information first."

When Zhou Zhen was watching this movie, it was Barbara and Gedi's case from the beginning.

In fact, this case is very simple. It is a beast teacher who used the teacher's identity to sexually harass students who have not yet grown up.

In the beginning, the protagonist used his eloquence in debate to exonerate the teacher, and then he was gradually tempted by the devil.

Vanity, fame and wealth, money, these are the weaknesses of the protagonist.

However, the current protagonist, Zhou Zhen, has not become a defense lawyer because of money, and has been doing the work of a prosecutor.

Therefore, he will never let Gedi, the teacher, escape the sanctions, instead of subverting it like a movie plot.

For Zhou Zhen, who knew the plot, he didn't understand the significance of this case.

Go through the plot again? It's impossible!

Zhou Zhen only took less than ten minutes to glance at the simple inquiry transcript.

"Apart from Barbara's confession, is there any direct evidence?"

"She was too young and was terrified. After returning home, she took a shower. It was her mother who found out about her and asked about it. Moreover, that Gedy just used her hands...understand ? There is no direct evidence."

"This also means that you didn't get an arrest warrant at noon today."

"Yes, this morning, the teacher Gedi is still in class."

Zhou Zhen nodded and said, "Send a police officer to question the other girls whom Barbara mentioned who were prostituted by Gedi, and try to get them to stand up and testify."

"We are already doing this, but we didn't succeed in applying for a search warrant against Gedi."

"Gedi has a wife and children. He didn't even dare to directly attack the girls with his short JJ. He only dared to touch the girl with his hand and touch himself with the other. It's so disgusting..."

"But we all know that this is the truth."

"I can intervene in this case from now on, and I can issue a search warrant for you, but I don't think I can find any useful evidence from Gedi's home."

"Yes, as long as the girls don't admit it, even the evidence will become useless material evidence."

"So, we should leave a glimmer of illusion for Gedi, investigate from the outside first, and don't have to move him for the time being."

"I have issued a prohibition order. He cannot leave the local area until the case is investigated."

"The reporter I know, you may be able to take advantage of his recent interview, or in the media to teach children how to guard against relatives."

"You want to use public opinion to stir up this matter, but Barbara is not an adult yet."

"No, don't mention this case. Just teach the children how to guard against it and tell them what kind of behavior is wrong and should call the police in time."

"At the same time, you can also open a hotline to accept reports."

Zhou Zhen laughed. "Cooper, you are the sheriff who works best with me."

Cooper also smiled: "You are also my most trusted prosecutor."

In Cooper's office, Zhou Zhen called his assistant Michelle to follow up the case and at the same time supervise the investigation process.

Zhou Zhen took over the case, which also meant that he had assumed the responsibility of supervision. When the police investigated any violations, he, the prosecutor, was also jointly and severally liable.

But usually, he would not personally intervene, some interns, deputy prosecutors, and assistants were willing to come.

Coming out of Cooper's office, Barbara and her parents also ended their questioning. Although it was too early to intervene, Zhou Zhen still walked in front of Barbara.

Barbara's father stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Romes, I know you, you haven't lost a single case."

Zhou Zhen shook his hand and said, "I would rather be moldy in my spare time."

He is a prosecutor, and the idle mold means that there is no case in the local area.

He sat down in front of Barbara and looked at the little girl and said softly: "Barbara, I am Prosecutor Kevin Romes. From today on, I will take over your case until that Gedi Get the punishment it deserves."

There were tears on the little girl's face, her eyes shy. "Will you look down on me?"

"Why do you say that?"

She wept sadly. "I was insulted by him, and my classmates said I was not a chaste girl."

Zhou Zhen comforted her. "No, I know you are a good girl. The so-called insult is actually as simple as shaking hands with your father. Wash your hands and everything will disappear. You are a good girl. As long as your heart is not defiled, you will Always a good girl."

She turned to look at her mom and dad uncertainly. His dad said for sure: "You will always be my angel."

And her mother gently hugged her and made her cry happily.

Zhou Zhen waited for her to calm down a bit, and then said: "But it is not that simple to get Gedi to plead guilty, because we have no evidence. The police will collect more personal and material evidence, and my role is to Help you formulate the most correct strategy, and then achieve the ultimate goal.

In this process, there may be twists and turns, and there may be humiliation. In the presence of judges, jurors, and some gossip media, I have to recollect the humiliation scene.

This process will not be so easy, or even difficult, so in addition to having to endure these embarrassments, you need to have strong courage. Can it be done? "

"Yes, Prosecutor Romes."

"Very good. When the survey results are a little bit more, I will integrate all the information. At that time, I will formulate detailed steps so that we can deal with any situation."

After bidding farewell to Barbara and the others, Zhou Zhen was still speculating about when Satan appeared and would he become Gedi's defense lawyer?

Everything is unknown.

No matter what capacity he appeared in, Zhou Zhen would not be afraid, he even looked forward to it.

For this moment, he has been waiting for more than two years.

The main task is to live for five years, and there is almost no possibility of failure.

It is impossible for Satan to force him to commit suicide. This is the biggest law of the film.

So he is not afraid at all.

When he arrived home at night, Martha already knew that the police and the prosecutor's office did not want to prosecute the four young people, but wanted them to enter the correctional school. This was the best result.

So Massa also expressed his gratitude to Zhou Zhen and became more active in doing housework.

Marian brought back a large stack of books, and she was a little embarrassed to see Zhou Zhen. "I haven't decided on the direction of study yet, so the types of books I borrowed are a bit mixed."

Zhou Zhen smiled and comforted her. "Enriching yourself is just for hobbies, to pass the time, not to survive, so no matter what you want to learn, I support it."

"My dear, you are so kind." The two began to spread dog food again.
