Chapter 458: Charge Bargaining(2/2)

That is, criminal suspects and defendants have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer when being interrogated.

If the police fail to give a Miranda warning when arresting a suspect, the suspect's confession will be considered an involuntary confession and cannot be used as evidence.

However, Miranda warnings will indeed lead to such a consequence: that is, the suspect remains silent from beginning to end, does not speak, and does not admit guilt.

Friends who often watch American TV series may have seen people in court or facing interrogations frequently saying: "I take fifth", which means "I quoted the Fifth Amendment", which means "I remain silent"

.

This is very passive.

So this gave rise to criminal prosecution.

In Kay's opinion, this is a very 'lazy' attitude. Charge trading can indeed save the police, prosecutors and courts a lot of time, improve efficiency and reduce judicial costs. But in turn, many criminals can escape

Opportunity for legal sanctions. The most typical example is to turn into a tainted witness in exchange for an acquittal.

Punish one criminal but let the other go.

Of course, there are different angles and different views on this matter. But personally, Kai doesn’t like this kind of transaction.

But such good conditions only earned Fergus a contemptuous side glance.

For Fergus, fear of the Kingpin outweighed his desire for freedom.

Chap was very unhappy with this attitude, so he grabbed Fergus's injured shoulder.

"I think you need to think carefully about our proposal."

Unexpectedly, even though Fergus broke into a cold sweat in pain, he still looked at Chap with a sneer.

"I have the right to remain silent. Go to hell, you idiot! Also, prepare your own coffins! Jin will not just let it go!"

As soon as Chap's expression changed, he wanted to use force on Fergus.

Kai stopped him.

"We are the police... we cannot extract confessions through torture." Kai said with a smile.

Chap glanced at Kai and put down his hand fiercely. Chap knew what Kai meant. This incident had alarmed too many people. If he really tried to play those tricks, he would definitely be in trouble.

"But you really need to think about my colleague's words. It won't hurt you to cooperate with us."

Fergus was shivering in pain, but he was very stubborn.

"Haha, I won't say anything even if I go to jail. If I go to jail, at least I can still be alive, but betray Kingpin?" Fergus shook his head. "I think prison is good."

"No, no, no, it's not good at all in jail." Kai shook his head and said, "As far as I know, there are a lot of scum among our Los Angeles police."

Fergus looked at Kay, not understanding what he meant.

Kai ignored him and said to himself: "For example, our former head of the major crime team was a gangster and cooperated with the Los Angeles gangs, but he was killed by you. I think you should know that, right?"

Fergus looked at Kai coldly.

"Although he was killed, there are still some scum in the police department that have not been dug out. This is very bad." Kai looked at Fergus with a smile, and Fergus's face became paler. "It seems you understand me.

I understand. Yes, the news of your arrest should have spread. I received news that many people are waiting to get along with you in prison. By the way, there is another thing. There is a high probability that you will serve your sentence in Los Angeles.

"

After saying that, Kai yawned.

"Come on Chap, let's have breakfast and then I need to get some sleep. I haven't slept for two nights in a row."
