The old judge slowly put on his glasses, stood up, and said.
"The latest evidence just given by the defendant has been authenticated as true. "
"The evidence is a five-minute video that was taken at 15:06, within one minute of the end of the
first video evidence. "
"In the video, Sam turns on the recording, then steps on a stool and hangs himself. Hammer does
not attempt to stop or persuade him to do so, but it is not illegal. "
"Judging from the video, Sam's death was an act of suicide. "
"But consider that Mike Hammer's plans with Sam played a role in Sam's death. "
"At the same time, through the confession of the defendant, it can be learned that Luke does not
exist in the case of murder, everything is framed by the defendant, Luke is now ruled innocent,
but because Luke is involved in other cases, he is not released temporarily, and needs to wait for
another case to be heard." "
"Judgment is now rendered on the defendant, Mike Hammer. "
"Sentence is imposed on the defendant, Mike Hammer, term of imprisonment, two years. "
Two years!
This is as good as it gets!
Everyone in the gallery shouted, and this time the judge did not drop the hammer for silence, but
acquiesced to the cheers.
The judge sighed, walked up from the podium to Mike Hammer, and said to Mike Hammer.
"Although I understand that you really have no voice, this method is not advocated. "
Mike Hammer nods.
"I know my actions are the same as a mugger robbing a bank to treat his daughter, although it is
worthy of sympathy, but it is still illegal, and I sincerely hope that no one in this society will still
take this forced path. "
After the fact, Mike Hammer offered to meet me.
I went to the detention center, just like the first time I met him.
He said to me through the glass, dressed in vertical white stripes.
"Senior, I'm sorry for getting you involved. "
'I'm sorry. I'm sorry I can't help you. "
"With that, I asked again.
"But I have a question I really want to ask you. "
"Huh? "
'Why did you turn down Lawyer Atticus when legal aid was brought in? "
No sooner had the question been asked than Mike Hammer looked apologetic.
He picked his cheek and said, "Attorney Atticus came to me with a very good defense. His plan probably wouldn't have given me a life sentence, but my plan would have guaranteed a life sentence for both the first and second trials, so...
'He didn't finish, but I got the idea.
The truth left me wanting to cry.
Eg. His implication is that I am not good enough.
If I had defended him, he would have been assured of a life sentence.
With that answer, all the confusion in my mind would be resolved.
For Mike Hammer, for some reason, I was left with nothing but guilt.
