Chapter 438 Righteous Speech OTN: We want everyone to know that rich people can’t do whatever they want!
Author: Qingsi Looking Back
"So everything's okay between you and Chuck?"
Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone couldn't help but confirm when he saw his boss and friend Adam Schiffer lost in thought.
"What can happen?"
District Attorney Adam Schiffer said self-deprecatingly: "I should thank him for his willingness to be my campaign donor."
If Chuck was talking about anyone running for office in New York, it was him.
Even though he is old, he still cannot quit sex, and there are also things like sponsoring poor female college students.
Such a thing, if it were Barney Stinson in Finding Mother, it would be an honor worth talking about.
Even for a district attorney like him, in a purely bad election, he will definitely not be the worst.
This three-way thing is a mistake that everyone can understand in the United States.
It's not a big deal.
The only trouble is that the money he used went through the public account of campaign funds. As Chuck said before, if there are serious legal issues, then his behavior can be prosecuted 34 times in total, and the maximum sentence can reach 136 years.
!
The last ‘predecessor’ to do this, which caused a sensation across the United States, was none other than Chicago’s Cook County State’s Attorney Pete Florrick.
Public funds have gone missing.
Same crime.
Because the other party had a well-known and virtuous wife who helped him carry it out, the pressure from public opinion was not so great and the overall situation did not collapse, so many people could not add insult to injury.
The prosecution ultimately fell through.
Soon after he was released from prison, he established the character of a prodigal son who never changes his fortune. Not only did he re-run for the position of state prosecutor, there were even rumors that he aspired to become governor and would not rule out the possibility of running for governor in the future.
But Pete Florrick is Pete Florrick, and he, Adam Schiffer, is Adam Schiffer!
He, Adam Schiffer, does not have the kind of "good wife" who is willing to help shoulder the burden. If his behavior is exposed, his wife will definitely fall out with him and completely cut off his political career.
If someone were to go online and focus on legal details, given the chaos of American law and the reality that almost everyone is a criminal (taxes are so heavy, almost everyone wants to avoid taxes), he would be imprisoned for 136 years.
It even keeps adding to the burden and involves other cases, which will last for who knows how many hundred years.
Chuck Wolf hit him with such a big stick, and he was immediately dizzy. Before he could think about how to surrender gracefully, Chuck directly gave him sweet dates and said something like that.
He, who was originally very angry, suddenly didn't know what to think.
Is this an endorsement from Detective Chuck?
He thought amusingly: "One day in the future, if this matter about me really comes out during my re-election campaign, can I use this matter to prove that compared to other bad candidates, I am the least bad one?"
?After all, this is the approval from Detective Chuck! It is more authoritative than the results of any investigative agency!"
This is no fantasy!
The "predecessor" Pete Florrick in Chicago was able to turn around as a prodigal without paying for it. In addition to the support of The Good Wife, there was also the most important reason, that is, his successor did a terrible job and the crime rate increased greatly.
, Chicagoans are nostalgic for this former prosecutor who was quite capable but couldn't control his lower body.
As for Adam Schiffer, he believes that since he ran for office as New York District Attorney, he has been conscientious in his work. The crime rate of rape, murder, arson and other serious crimes has dropped by 5% compared with his predecessor.
And if we follow what Detective Chuck said and replace him with a New York District Attorney who is 90% political and 100% legal, no matter how nice his words are, the crime rate, especially the felony crime rate, will definitely soar by at least 20 to 30%.
This should be the fundamental reason why Detective Chuck is willing to provide sweet dates and become a donor to help him run for re-election in the future.
He is really capable!
Other correct nonsense about everyone being equal before the law is useless. As long as there is a mouth for such correct nonsense, who wouldn’t say it?
But the increase or decrease in the crime rate, especially the increase or decrease in felony crimes, is the real indicator of a district attorney’s work ability!
"That's good."
Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone saw that his boss and friends really didn't seem to be keeping their anger in their hearts, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's get to work."
"Go for it!"
District Attorney Adam Schiffer nodded: "Leave aside the trouble of offending the largest donor, this case should indeed set an example, otherwise the crime rate will definitely skyrocket in the future! This will also not be conducive to my future re-election!"
After saying this, he shrugged: "Although the impact will not be as much as the trouble of offending the largest donor."
Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone smiled knowingly.
Although the politics of the United States is known as a mess, various key positions are contested and decided by people's votes, which seems to be the result of public opinion.
But that's just what it looks like.
In the final analysis, various political campaigns in the United States are still gambling games between big capitals. The so-called popular vote determines the outcome, which only gives the people a sense of participation and is just for fun. The results do not depend on their will at all.
Assistant U.S. Attorney's Office.
The director and secretary of the OTN Organ Transplantation Network office were invited over.
"Philippe Vaudrey once came to my office and promised to make a large donation to OTN, as long as I would move his daughter forward."
The director of the OTN office introduced the situation: "In 1990, there were more than 100,000 patients undergoing dialysis, and only 88,000 people could get legal new kidneys. Money cannot always buy happiness, Mr. Stone!"
"Maybe some people won't agree with that."
The African-American assistant prosecutor retorted.
"Money should not buy life under any circumstances!"
The secretary couldn't help but said.
"These people must be severely punished!"
The director of the OTN office said righteously: "We hope you will look at this case from a higher perspective. The public must realize that the organ transplant network is a real botched system, and it is a handful of people who have no decision at all about money.
The right place!"
Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone and the African-American Assistant Prosecutor couldn't help but look at each other, and they could see each other's thoughts.
If Chuck hadn't reminded them, they would have definitely felt that the OTN office director who could say these words was definitely a rare and good official with justice.
However, after Chuck reminded him, the director had previously said that "the black market for organs does not exist because it is illegal," and "there is no need for illegal organs at all, because you can wait while undergoing dialysis." I don't know whether these words are stupid or bad.
It is indeed correct and noble to say this now, but the fact is that the billionaire Philippe Wardray allowed his only daughter to successfully obtain three kidney quotas legally in this place known as one of the few real people.
However, given that the only daughter of a billionaire is a drug addict, she should not even be on the organ transplant waiting list, which has an annual shortfall of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
In their righteous words, in one of the few places in the United States where money has no decisive power at all, this is the result?
What a great irony.
That is to say, Chuck has investigated and found that the righteous OTN office director in front of him really did not accept money from billionaire Philip Wardray. Otherwise, this person will definitely be included in the prosecution this time.
But now he needs to testify in court that Philippe Vaudrey had approached him to prove that Philippe Vaudray had the intention to commit a crime.
court.
"The defendant, Philip Wardray, is charged with attempted murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree, conspiracy in the first degree, and grand larceny."
A group of defendants and their lawyers filled the dock, and the clerk helped the judge read out the charges against them.
"How does the defense respond?"
The female judge looked at the defendant, billionaire Philippe Vaudry.
"Not guilty in all cases, your honor!"
Billionaire Philippe Wardray is right.
"Prosecutor, do you have any objections to the bail?"
The female judge looked at the African-American assistant prosecutor.
"$350,000, your honor."
The African-American assistant prosecutor said.
"This court agrees!"
The female judge did not ask the defendant at all and directly agreed.
"Your Honor, I would like to request that Mr. Wardray be kept in the courtroom while I go ask the bank to wire the money."
The billionaire's lawyer laughed.
"Your Honor, the prosecutor is opposed to giving Mr. Wardray any special treatment!"
The African-American assistant prosecutor immediately objected.
"Does the prosecution believe Mr. Wardray is a flight risk?"
The billionaire's lawyer sneered.
"It's already 4:30 now. By the time you get back here, Mr. Wardray won't be able to catch the prisoner bus to Riker's Island Prison."
The female judge raised her hand to look at the time, and then said: "This court disagrees!"
