"That case had a great impact across the country. Most importantly, after the so-called motive of the father's murder was revealed on the Internet, it sparked heated discussions on the Internet. Even country Z paid close attention to this case. Since the case began to have Political influence, pressure from above to bring father to justice."
Dong Xie nodded, and continued to ask: "Why are you sure that your father is not the murderer? Don't get angry, I have to ask clearly. Of course, even if your father killed him, I will praise him for a good job!"
"My father won't kill! Before the execution, when I visited the prison, he clearly stated that he was not a murderer! If he is a murderer, is it necessary to lie to me again?"
"About the other four death row prisoners, what else do you know? Don't ask me why I'm asking this, answer it directly!"
"There are four more... Jax Vita, the real murderer of the school shooting three years ago, Harley Victor, the drug lord who controls the largest drug trade in the state, and Doolin, who raped and killed many women Raven, and...the gang leader Delca Mondrido who smuggled firearms 30 years ago and caused a gang fire and killed and injured more than ten people and thirty people were injured."
"Thirty years ago?"
"Yes... Although the case of that year has passed so long, it is still one of the most well-known violent crimes in our state. The state government listed Mondrido as the first batch of death row inmates, which means that the government has completely resumed the execution of the death penalty. The determination to liquidate. Thirty years ago, when he was first arrested, he was sentenced to death, but the death penalty system was quickly abolished, so he escaped death.”
"Tell me what you know about the other death row inmates. Let's talk about the school shooting suspect first."
"That prisoner..." Dennis hesitated for a while, and finally realized that he couldn't lie in front of Dong Xie, so he replied: "The school he was bloodbathed three years ago was the high school my ex-girlfriend's brother attended, and her brother... And one of the dead."
"so coincidental?"
"She also went to that high school ... that shooting, she also almost lost her life."
When Dennis said this, his tone became melancholy.
His father became a murderer, and the deceased was a well-known movie star. He was bullied by countless students at school, and at that time his ex-girlfriend Erin was the only one who was willing to defend him. However, soon the discussion of the death penalty bill was put on the agenda. Survivors of school shooting victims have become the main force in support of the death penalty.
Dennis met Irene Harta three years ago at a mass demonstration for the restoration of the death penalty. Her brother had just died at the hands of Jax Vita, the demon who was gunning and massacring the campus. Erin couldn't accept that her brother's murderer was still in prison, spending the rest of his life with taxpayer money like her.
"The school shooting was too sensational, and I also felt the same way. I remember that when she was in a demonstration, she distributed leaflets to passers-by asking us to support the restoration of the death penalty, while the opposition to the death penalty confronted them. She handed the leaflets by herself. It was given to me, and when I heard that I am of Chinese descent, I envied that country Z still retains the death penalty."
"Don't talk about these details, let's talk about the main points!" Time is limited, Dong Xie has no time to listen to Dennis talk about his love history.
Dennis did not hesitate to join the death penalty supporters and actively participated in demonstrations. It happened to be 2020 three years ago, and it happened to be during the presidential election of country M. Not long after the new president was elected, there would be the governor election. Irene hopes that public opinion will reach an advantage, so as to promote the restoration of the death penalty system that has been abolished for 30 years.
The identity of the school shooting murderer Jax Vita is a retired soldier, so his marksmanship is very accurate. The motive for the murder remains a mystery. After rushing into the school, he killed eighteen students and three teachers with precise marksmanship, and injured countless people. Jax would have been executed in a state where the death penalty had not been abolished, but in this state he would have been imprisoned for life at most, and since he was young enough, he might even have a chance of parole in the future.
What Irene couldn't stand the most was... On the first day of the court trial, when the police escorted Jax to the court road, countless family members of the victims gathered around the court entrance, questioning him about the motive of the murder. Irene's mother almost pushed aside countless reporters, grabbed the microphone of one of them, and complained to Jax tearfully. However, Jax knew that the mother of one of the people he killed was in front of him, so he raised his middle finger and said, "I don't know which one you are talking about, but no matter who it is, I shot in the head with one shot. Don't worry, You must go to see your son earlier than me!"
When Dong Xie heard this, he really didn't expect human nature to be so vicious. This person actually said this in front of countless reporters, without pretending, how vicious!
Meng Qindong asked herself that she was not a good person, but she never thought that someone would be so evil. Even if she kills, she wants to survive, but killing the other party and saying such words in front of the other party's family completely breaks through her imagination of evil. To be honest, if she had to die, it would be far better to die at the hands of Xiao Ying than to die at the hands of such a devil. At least she also admitted that Xiao Ying is indeed a rare good person in the world.
Ironically, Dennis' father was arrested after Erin became Dennis's girlfriend and the two worked together for a year on death penalty rehabilitation. At that time, Irene was the only one around him who believed that his father would not kill people. However, with the arrival of the governor's election, as the death penalty supporters and the opposition began to confront the two governor candidates respectively, it was impossible for Dennis to continue to accompany Irene to support the death penalty.
In addition to "human rights", a theme that has been talked about badly in Western society, "unjust prison" is also an important factor for their opposition to the death penalty. In the past, Dennis didn't care about this, but when his relative was wronged and imprisoned, Dennis finally understood the other side's feelings. Then he joined the death penalty opposition camp without telling Irene, distributed leaflets for them, and participated in demonstrations to prevent the resumption of the death penalty.
At that time, the trial was very unfavorable to the father. Once the death penalty was restored, the father would become the first batch of new death row prisoners! Moreover, there are many people in the death penalty opposition who claim that their relatives are unjustly imprisoned. They unite to have a certain influence. Dennis helps them, so they promise to issue the slogan "Reas Lee case police torture to extract confessions" during demonstrations , as long as a candidate who opposes the death penalty becomes the new governor, there is hope that the case will turn around.
"About that time, a pro-death penalty gubernatorial candidate claimed that as long as voters voted for him, he would hang the first batch of death row inmates in the form of webcast, so that the families of the deceased could watch the death row struggle on the live screen. Although the opponents of the death penalty objected on the grounds of human rights violations, more and more neutral voters began to change their positions.”
Dong Xie grew up in country M, so he naturally knows that although country M always talks about democracy and human rights, the so-called human rights have always had double standards, and the Madonna who talks about human rights to everyone can only be found in movies and TV dramas in country M. Ordinary voters really care about the human rights of death row inmates? They only see that gun control has not been put on the agenda for a long time, resulting in more and more frequent shootings of indiscriminate killings. In their minds, the live broadcast of the death penalty can satisfy the curiosity-seeking mentality on the one hand, and on the other hand... they think it can deter potential murderers.
"It didn't take long for Irene to find out that I was assisting people who opposed the death penalty." Dennis smiled wryly, "So she became my ex. But in the end, I still failed."
Although Dennis said it lightly, Dong Xie could fully understand his feelings.
Father and girlfriend, he chose the former without hesitation. Such a person deserves respect.
"After that... That live video triggered everything that happened now?"
Dennis nodded.
"From a certain point, that video began to mutate during the forwarding process. The content of the video began to change!"
Here it comes... Dong Xie and Meng Qindong picked up their pens almost at the same time!
Get ready to... answer the questions on the test paper!
"Tell me specifically..." Meng Qindong was more anxious than Dong Xie at this time: "What changed?"
The specific description of the video variation is a very short answer question! For the current Meng Qindong, even one more point can make her farther away from death!
