Season 1 Episode 8 Reddick v Boseman
I have been thinking that the law firm in the show is called Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad, but more than halfway through the first season, there are only two title partners, Adrian and Barbara. ? Sure enough, the third partner Carl Reddick appeared in this episode. In the mother drama "The Good Wife", Jonas Stern, the title partner of Stern, Lockhart & Gardner law firm, appeared with the screams of the female receptionist at the front desk. This time, Carl Reddick appeared in silence, although I brought a case to the law firm, but Carl's purpose is not just a case...
The plot of this episode is very simple, not mind-blowing. Lucca and Colin broke up because of a misunderstanding; Maia's father staged a bitter scene where he cried, made trouble and hanged himself, and was also drunk; the pastor's sexual assault case was interspersed, and although he won, it caused a split in the law firm.
Pastor Jeremiah wanted to ask the law firm to issue an expulsion order. Although it was not a very lucrative job, Diane accepted it out of the help of an old friend. She thought it was easy, but she was bitten back by the other party and wanted to sue Pastor Jeremiah. sexual assault.
After listening to the statement of the opposing lawyer Kovac, Diane felt that he was making trouble without any basis and that he could report it to ARDC ▼
Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission
The Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Committee, or ARDC for short, is an executive body of the Illinois Supreme Court that registers, educates, investigates, and reports legal practitioners.
I have to admit that American dramas are really good at portraying characters, stealing chocolate, messy briefcases, cheap suits, revealing sour emotions about Harvard in conversations, and eHarmony (marriage dating website) and other details, immediately put Kovac This person's wretched, speculative, and petite image is in place ▼
On the other side, Lucca and Colin had a sweet date in the gallery, and suddenly bumped into Colin's mother. After a strange conversation, the mother mentioned Colin's 32nd birthday party.
The Bible records that Jesus, the Son of God, humbled himself to redeem mankind. He suffered at the age of 33 and was nailed to the cross by Pilate, the executive officer of the Roman province of Judea. He wore a crown of thorns and suffered a lot. Die with blood. Crucifixion was a rather horrific death sentence, and was also seen as a cursed punishment. At that time, only the most wicked criminals would be crucified with both hands and feet.
The Bible says that "sin" can only be washed away through blood. Jesus was innocent of sin. He was innocently nailed to the cross to atone for the sins of mankind, and before he died, he knew that he would die, because it was God's will. The "sin" here is not just the crime we usually understand at the legal level. Envy, arrogance, laziness, greed, lying, lust, etc. are also sins, so everyone is guilty.
Then he came back to life on the third day after his death!
At Colin's birthday party, Colin's father began to scold Trump as soon as he saw Lucca ▼
Central Park Five
In 1989 there was a tragedy in New York known as the Central Park jogger case. Trisha Meili, a 28-year-old bank clerk (white, female) at the time, was attacked and brutally raped during a night run in Central Park. Due to the brutality of the gangster's modus operandi, when she was discovered by passers-by a few hours later, she had lost too much blood and was dying. After struggling to rescue, the victim finally woke up after being in a coma for 12 days, but because of the severe blow to the head, she has lost her memory of the incident.
Not long after, the New York police announced that they had arrested 5 suspects (4 African Americans and 1 Hispanic). They were each sentenced to sentences ranging from 8 to 13 years.
The case shocked the city and exacerbated racial tensions, as the victims were white, senior bank clerks, and well-educated, while the offenders were black and Hispanic. The famous businessman at the time, Donald Trump (yes! The current US President), used full pages to comment on this matter in four mainstream newspapers, calling for the restoration of the death penalty in New York (there is no death penalty system in New York) and severely punishing these five criminals.
BUT! (Yeah, why is there always a BUT in this world...)
In 2002, a rapist & murderer admitted that he committed the Central Park jogger case, and the DNA of this person matched that of the criminal. At this time, everyone knew that the five teenagers who were convicted at that time were wrongfully imprisoned. Looking back at the trial process, there were no witnesses, the DNA did not match, and the victim had amnesia. The basis for the conviction was almost solely based on the confessions of the five juveniles, and it was only later that I found out that the confession was a trick.
The five wronged teenagers, known as the Central Park Five , were acquitted and the government paid them more than $40 million in 2014. However, Trump 's comment on the compensation is "Disgrace", which is quite dissatisfied, saying that more than 40 million yuan is taxpayer's money, and these five people are all bad teenagers, and they deserve to go to prison. Why pay so much? Rich! (Of course not so ugly)
In 2016, Trump was already running for president. When faced with his erroneous comments on the five people back then, Trump ignored the DNA matching, still refused to admit the well-known truth of the incident, refused to apologize to the five people, and insisted that "they confessed their guilt", that is guilt!
Later, the Hillary campaign team condemned Trump's comments, saying that he "remarked on this incident rashly, and now not only does not admit the mistakes of the year, but also continues to sell his racist lies, and he is not worthy of being president at all."
After introducing his "female secretary", Dad did not forget to mention to Lucca something related to black people, which made Colin very embarrassed▼
The Root
An English-language online magazine in the United States, launched in 2008, mainly focusing on news, culture, and politics related to African Americans.
Dad’s side is not enough, and Colin’s mother’s side Lucca also expressed that he is very tired, why does he keep discussing the president with me, black people, these ▼
Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist, participated in the 2016 U.S. presidential election as a Democrat, but he is actually an independent outside the two parties, claiming to be a "Democratic Socialist" person.
Sanders is widely supported by young voters of the "millennial generation" in the United States, especially college students. Since he announced his candidacy, he has rejected large donations from companies or individuals, and relied on a small donation of $27 per capita to carry out the pre-election to the last moment. However, he lost to Hillary Clinton by a narrow margin in the party caucuses of the presidential election. He won 23 of the 50 states in the United States.
Here is a brief description of the US presidential election .
The first stage is the nomination of candidates within the party. Within each party, voters vote for representatives (starting in January and February in each state) to attend the National Convention (July-August), and vote for the presidential candidate at the party convention. There are two ways to elect representatives:
(1) In the primary election, voters go to the polling station to vote by secret ballot. There are two types here, one is non-open, only people with party membership can participate; the other is open, no matter whether you have a party affiliation, you can participate.
(2) The caucus, in which party members express their support for a certain presidential candidate, so that everyone knows which candidate he will vote for if he can participate in the party congress, and then the votes will be compared. clear.
Each state decides which method to use, and there are also two methods. Each state has a different number of places to attend the convention, usually determined by the state's population (there will also be an adjustment formula). After the representatives are elected, the presidential candidates in the party can basically be determined, and the support of how many representatives each has has become clear. In addition to going through the process, the National Party Congress held after that is mainly to give political parties the opportunity to build momentum for candidates and to show the difference from their opponents.
It was at this stage in the Democratic Party that Sanders lost to Hillary Clinton . Hillary wouldn't necessarily be nominated if it wasn't for the support of the superdelegates. Because the voters just introduced above first elected the state's electoral representative (delegate) in the state-level primary election, but there are also "superdelegates". They do not go through elections, but are elected by the party in the state government. , senior officials of the federal government, and members of the Democratic National Committee. Electoral delegates and super-delegates finally went to the party congress with one person, one vote. Before Sanders ran for election, he was a non-partisan person for a long time and lacked party management. The Clinton family's network in the Democratic Party elite is well known. Some "super representatives" support Hillary without any suspense.
The candidates within the party have been selected, and the second stage (September-November) is when the two major parties start their campaign for pk, which is between the Republican Trump and the Democratic Hillary Clinton. This process is mainly to introduce political ideas, policy programs, and commitments to voters, and to win voter support through speeches, interviews with voters, and open debates.
The third stage (November) is when states elect their representatives to the Electoral College, and the electors then elect the president, not directly by voters. The total number of electors in the 50 states is 538, and the electoral votes obtained reach 270, or more than half, to be declared president. Most states use a winner-take-all approach, in which the presidential candidate with the most popular votes wins all of the state's Electoral College votes. One consequence of this system is that it is possible to win a majority of the popular vote nationwide but lose the election.
For example, a candidate wins the popular vote in California (55 in blue on the far left) by a narrow margin, but he/she can get all 55 electoral votes in California; and in a small state voting in the popular vote By a large margin, the two states have fewer popular votes than their opponents, but still have an advantage in the Electoral College.
The fourth stage (December) is when the electoral college votes for the president.
Lucca didn't want to talk about Sanders, and ended up being asked Jay Z, please, can you white people stop talking about black people and politics so self-righteously! Let's talk about other things ▼

For the sexual assault case, it was Marissa who found key evidence again, proving that the opponent's lawyer, Kovac, was bribed for this lawsuit. As for the line of the Ponzi scheme, I don't want to say anything. Maia's father didn't hang or fall to death after tossing for a long time, and the case didn't make any progress... But Amy appeared!
