The U.S. did not "strike hard"

The United States did not "strike hard".

In the American feature film "The Defendant", a young woman was gang-raped by three young people in a bar in front of many people. It is very difficult to get a heavier sentence for the three rapists in the court hearing. This is not the case in this film, other films involving rape cases are very tiring. In such an obvious gang rape case, you will only grit your teeth during the trial. For example, you will be asked a lot of privacy, you will be led to the side of flirting with men, you will be said to be revealing in clothing, and your language will be provocative.
The United States does not "strike hard", and it is very strict in the trial. As long as the woman has a small problem in the past, it may lead to a light sentence.
Our situation here is just the opposite of America. Here we have the strict and quick, the "strike hard", the obvious rape and gang rape cases, and the rapists will never get the light sentences of the same kind of criminals in the United States. But because of the "heaviness and speediness" and the "strike hard", those who should not be punished severely were sentenced, and those whose crimes did not lead to death were sentenced to death. There are even innocent people who were killed by mistake.
Our "strike hard", the Americans will not want; and the American system of justice, we will not learn here.

The Accused quotes

  • Kathryn Murphy: Either you tell me right now what you saw or you can tell it to me on the witness stand.

    Ken Joyce: Why? This isn't my business. I don't care about this.

  • Kathryn Murphy: Listen again..."A person is guilty of criminal solicitation if he commands, induces, entreats or otherwise persuades another person to commit a felony-"

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: You can read it to me until you're blue in the face, I am not gonna let you prosecute a bunch of spectators -

    Kathryn Murphy: [cutting him off] They're not spectators. They solicited the rape.

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: Do you really want to ask a jury to lock up a bunch of people for clapping and cheering?

    Kathryn Murphy: Clapping? Cheering? Pushing? Goading? Getting the rape going and keeping it going!

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: And what happens if you lose? You'll look like an incompetent. If you win, you'll look like a vengeful bitch. Either way, you'll hurt yourself and this office. Now, drop it. You've got more important things to do.

    Kathryn Murphy: No I haven't.

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: You haven't got more important things to do than go to trial with a sure loser? What the hell's gotten into you?

    Kathryn Murphy: We owe her.

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: Owe her what? We put the rapists away.

    Kathryn Murphy: *I* owe her.

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: I see. You wanna spend my money to put a bunch of spectators on trial - a trial that you'll lose - because you owe her? No! You don't get to use this office to pay your debts!

    Kathryn Murphy: I am going to try this case and you are not going to stop me.

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: Kathryn, you're an ace. You've got a great future. Don't put it in jeopardy.

    Kathryn Murphy: What are you going to do, fire me? Go right ahead. My first case will be a civil suit against the rapists, the solicitors, the Bar and the State. I will show that Sarah Tobias ended up in a hospital bed because this office sold her out. I will personally subpoena your records, put you on the witness stand and cross-examine you about every single sleazy plea-bargain this office has ever made.

    [turning to exit]

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: [shouting] Go ahead! Try your case! Have a good time! Because win or lose, you're through!

    [turns to notice others in the office staring at him]

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: What are you lookin' at? Get back to work!
