Chapter 144: Judgment

I don't know who leaked the news, and not long after Harry caught the people, the media received the news, so they quickly gathered people and brought long guns and short cannons to block the door of the police station again.

After Harry grabbed the Scorpio, he immediately used the walkie-talkie to notify the bureau, and there were still school bus drivers and seven children on the scene.

The bus driver was frightened and couldn't continue driving the child home, so Harry had to stay and wait for backup.

Fortunately, the police station has long been ready to go, and Scorpio's actions have made all the police hate him to the core, and even the last incident has made all the police officers the object of public resentment.

In this regard, V is not as good as Scorpio, V is too mysterious, and the media does not have any evidence to prove that there is really such a gangster as V, and Scorpio has indeed damaged the reputation of the police department.

So although Harry's colleagues complained that Harry did not follow the procedures, they still hated the cunning Scorpio even more.

Because he received a call from the director, the police officer who escorted the Scorpio was not surprised by the crowd at the entrance of the police station, and calmly put the car well, and the two police officers escorted the Scorpio out of the car and entered the police station from the main entrance.

Originally, when they heard that the police station was surrounded by reporters, they thought about going back from the underground parking lot or other routes, but the director told them to go through the main entrance, and there was no need to stop the interaction between Scorpio and the media.

I don't know why, but they did as they were told.

The arrested Scorpio never admitted his crime to the media.

Scorpio tried to repeat the trick of framing Harry for violating the "Miranda Warning" in the process of law enforcement, and did so, and he complained loudly, hoping that the stupid desperate media for the big news would help him use public opinion to build momentum like they did last time.

It's a pity that he miscalculated this time, although these media don't know what kind of evidence the police have, but since it is Harry Callaghan, a controversial police officer, who once again caught the suspect who caused him to encounter Waterloo, then he should be sure.

Media reporters like big news, and in order to catch people's attention, they can even take reports that are inconsistent with the truth out of context, and use Spring and Autumn penmanship to mislead the public.

But this does not mean that the uncrowned king can really "fire" at will, in addition to entertainment gossip tabloids, other major newspapers that report current affairs news, the reporting of events must first stand on their feet and withstand investigation.

Otherwise, if it is not handled properly, it will not only damage the reputation, but also risk bankruptcy in serious cases.

Like this "showdown" between Harry and Scorpio, for them it is a follow-up to the previous report, and it is better not to define it before the matter is decided, so as to give yourself a room to change your words.

So at this time, some reporters asked about the specific details of Scorpio's arrest, but like some live TV stations, they did not take the liberty of accusing Harry Callahan or asking malicious questions, but simply relayed Scorpio's words, and finally said that they would continue to follow up on Yunyun.

Scorpio was still putting on his own solo show, and he had a hunch that this time might not be as easy as last time, so he worked harder and cried pitifully.

If Harry can't come up with more conclusive evidence later, Scorpio may be released by ignorant public opinion even if he is put in the dock again.

In fact, on the day of the trial, some citizens did spontaneously organize themselves and ran to the door of the San Francisco courthouse to protest.

They were all infected by the bruises on Scorpio's faces, the unnatural legs of walking, and the sad cries of the TV.

These people are also some people from the bottom of society, and they have doubts about certain actions and decrees of the police against the government, plus the previous unfavorable reports on the police.

These people who don't know the truth think that Scorpio made the superintendent Harry Callahan lose his job because of the courage to speak the truth in front of the media last time. Xiaotao Chinese

That's why Harry Callahan and his police colleagues deliberately framed the real shooter who had left San Francisco with the money, and the poor creature who had ruined the police's reputation became a substitute for the shooter to cover up the police's incompetence.

Such a statement unexpectedly spread among the demonstrators, and it was so convincing that many people thought that this was the truth of the matter.

Their demonstrations even allowed more citizens to join the demonstrations, and for a time the protective pressure on the courts was very great.

Most of the police force in the police station, whether it is the main bureau or the sub-bureau, have transferred people over, and all of them are wearing police equipment such as blast shields and electric batons.

Liszt looked at the angry crowd, and secretly said in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this matter would make such a big fuss, this Scorpio is really damned, let's see how the judge decides first.

Liszt did not kill Scorpio directly, not only because he wanted to reinstate Harry, but also because he wanted to slap those media hard, including the district prosecutor who refuted Harry's insufficient evidence and withdrew the case before the trial.

Although it can't give them substantial harm, as long as there are so many people who can calmly deal with the police after reading the latest case reports, even if Liszt is not busy in vain.

The trial went smoothly, and the video submitted by Harry not only showed Scorpio buying a gun after being discharged from the hospital, but also a picture of him walking around the elementary school and accosting the children, and finally pulling out a gun to threaten the school bus driver.

Harry also has a trick, Liszt gives him the DV and tells him his guess about Scorpio's next target, and Harry uses his connections the next day to arrange himself as a school bus inspector.

If it weren't for the tight schedule, he would have had the heart to rearrange a driver from within the police to replace the original school bus driver.

In the face of ironclad evidence, Scorpio's defense lawyers gave up, but Scorpio continued to claim that he was innocent, and the last clip of the video was a picture of Scorpio threatening the driver with a gun while calling the mayor to blackmail him.

And before that, the mayor's office did receive a threatening letter, and the payment was Scorpio.

Harry was really calm, not only disguised, but also covered his face all the time.

Scorpio didn't expect that there would be an extra inspector on the school bus, this was originally an excuse for him, not that he couldn't shoot the person who robbed him of his idea, but there were so many children on the bus, it was not easy to control if they were frightened, and the position was not right.

Scorpio's intention was to keep driving and not stop.

That's why Harry decided to do it later, thinking about collecting some more evidence.

Sure enough, Scorpio's words of calling and threatening were clearly recorded, not to mention the certification of the school bus driver, which is even more certain.

In the end, Scorpio was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Scorpio's lawyer wanted to get him a suspended sentence, but the judge considered that he had been tried before, and that after that acquittal, he was now starting to do so again, and no matter how much he argued, it was not convincing.

The demonstrators who learned that they really wanted to believe it at first, but when the court made an exception and let them see the video of the exhibits, they accepted the verdict and began to scold the scorpio for destroying humanity.

The speed of the change of face amazed Liszt, who had witnessed the changes before and after, but he was not satisfied with the outcome of the trial with the court.

"Sure enough, I'm going to do it myself."
