As a district attorney, Zhou Zhen undertook the review and prosecution of most cases in his jurisdiction, and reached plea bargains with suspects and opposing lawyers.

The prosecutorial system in the United States is not very different from that in China, but it is more independent.

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

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

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

Because whether or not to admit guilt is related to a large waste of government resources, in general, as long as the criminal is willing to admit guilt, the prosecutor will appropriately reduce the sentence according to the system.

Originally, he was sentenced to five years, but he was sentenced to four years if he pleaded guilty, and only one court trip was sufficient.

However, if the criminal does not admit guilt, a case may be handled for several years, costing 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, just to increase the sentence by two years.

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

This is not a bribe, because there is only one resource occupation problem involved, and they have ways to circumvent this suspicion.

In the police station, Zhou Zhen was warmly embraced by Sarah, a thirty-year-old female strongman with wider shoulders than Zhou Zhen.

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

So this Sara, who is 1.78 meters and 90 kilograms, and is only 30 years old, is a well-deserved police flower.

"Kevin, if it weren't for the case, you'd have forgotten where the door of our police station is going, right?"

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

Sara flashed the muscles in her arm and said, "Shall we go back to the weekend?" ”

Sara is a fitness freak, and so is Zhou Zhen. The two of them often compete together, if they don't show some real skills and don't make a dead hand, Zhou Zhen will really not be able to get her for a while.

"Not this weekend, I'll accompany Marianne to St. George's Island on Friday and won't be back until Sunday evening."

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

St. George's Island is a narrow island in Appalachian Bay with fine beaches, it is not a well-known tourist destination, and there are few foreign tourists, but it is very popular with locals.

They don't go to a tourist destination like Miami, unless it's to see beautiful women.

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

Accompanied by her parents, she was questioned by another aunt policewoman.

Zhou Zhen knocked on the door and pushed the door open. 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 come in?" ”

"Forget it." Cooper, who was sitting behind his desk, pushed the information he had read, along with several records of his inquiry, in front of Zhou Zhen. "You look at the information first."

When Zhou Zhen watched this movie, it was Barbara and Gedy's case at the beginning.

In fact, this case is very simple, that is, a beast teacher uses the identity of the teacher, sexually, and harasses students who are not yet adults.

At first, the protagonist uses his debating eloquence to exonerate the teacher, and then gradually becomes tempted by the devil.

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

However, the current protagonist, that is, Zhou Zhen, has not become a defense lawyer because of money, and has been working as a prosecutor.

Therefore, he will never let Guydy, the teacher, escape the sanctions, instead of subverting it in the end, like the plot of the movie.

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

Do you want to relive the plot? It's no longer possible!

It took Zhou Zhen less than ten minutes to take a cursory look at the simple interrogation transcript.

"Is there any direct evidence other than Barbara's confession?"

"She was so small and terrified. When I got home, I took a shower. It was her mother who noticed her strangeness and asked about it. And that guy was just using his hands...... Do you understand? There is no direct evidence. ”

"That means you didn't get your arrest warrant at noon today."

"Yes, Mr. Guy is still in class this morning."

Zhou Zhen nodded and said, "Send police officers to ask Barbara about the other girls who were kissed by Gedi Province, and try to get them to come forward and testify." ”

"We're already working on this, but we've been unsuccessful in applying for a search warrant for Gedi."

"Guy has a wife and children, and he doesn't even dare to use his short JJ to directly assault the girls. Dare to touch the girl with one hand and touch yourself with the other, this is really disgusting......"

"But we all know that it's true."

"I can get involved in this case from now on, and I can issue you a search warrant, but I don't think I'll be able to find any useful evidence from Gedy's home."

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

"So, we should leave a glimmer of illusion for Guydy, investigate from the periphery first, and don't touch him for the time being."

"I have issued a restraining order and 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 the media to teach children how to prevent their relatives."

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

"No, don't mention the case. Just teach the children to learn to take precautions, tell them what kind of behavior is wrong, and they should call the police in time. ”

"At the same time, a hotline can also be opened to receive reports."

Zhou Zhen laughed. "Cooper, you're the sheriff I have the best fit with."

Cooper also laughed: "You are also my most trusted prosecutor." ”

In Cooper's office, Mr. Zhou called his assistant Michelle and asked her to follow up on the case while overseeing the investigation.

Zhou Zhen took over the case, which also means that he has assumed the responsibility of supervision. If there are any irregularities in the police investigation, he, the prosecutor, is also jointly and severally liable.

However, usually, he will not personally intervene, and some interns, deputy prosecutors, and assistants are willing to do it.

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

Barbara's father took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Mr. Romax, I know you, you haven't lost a single case in your case. ”

Zhou Zhen shook his hand and said, "I'd rather be moldy." ”

He is a prosecutor, and the idle mold represents that there are no cases in the local area.

He sat down in front of Barbara, looked at the little girl and whispered, "Barbara, I'm Prosecutor Kevin Romans, and from today onwards, I'm going to take over your case until that guy gets the punishment he deserves." ”

The little girl still had tears on her face and a shy look in her eyes. "Will you look down on me?"

"Why do you say that?"

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

Zhou Zhen comforted her and said. "No, I know you're 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, and as long as your heart is not defiled, you will always be a good girl. ”

She turned her head uncertainly to look at her mom and dad, who affirmed, "You will always be my angel." ”

And her mother, who gently hugged her, made her cry bitterly.

Zhou Zhen waited for her to calm down a little before he said again: "However, it is not so simple to get Gheddy to confess, because we have no evidence. The police will collect more human and physical evidence, and my role is to help you develop the most correct strategy and then achieve the ultimate goal.

In the process, there may be twists and turns, as well as humiliation. In front of the judges, jurors, and some gossip media, I have to recall the humiliating scene.

The process will not be so easy or even difficult, so in addition to the embarrassment, you need to have a strong sense of courage. Can it be done? ”

"Yes, Prosecutor Romans."

"Well, when the results of the investigation are a little bit more indicated, I will put all the information together, and at that point, I will develop detailed steps so that we can respond to any situation."

After saying goodbye to Barbara, Zhou Zhen is still speculating about when Satan will appear and will he become Gedy's defense lawyer?

Everything is unknown.

No matter what identity he appears, Zhou Zhen will not be afraid, he is even looking forward to it.

He had been waiting for more than two years for this moment.

The main quest 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 was not afraid at all.

When she got home in the evening, Massa already knew that the police and the prosecutor's office did not want to prosecute the four young people, but only wanted to put them in the correctional school, which was the best outcome.

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

Marianne brought back a large stack of books, and saw that Zhou Zhen was a little embarrassed. "I haven't decided on the direction of my studies yet, so the types of books I borrow are a bit varied."

Zhou Zhen smiled and comforted her. "Enriching yourself is just for hobbies, to pass the time, not to survive, so whatever you want to learn, I support it."

"Honey, you're so nice." The two of them started sprinkling dog food again.
