"I just hope this will end soon." Danny Carter sighed and poured another glass of wine.

Daisy frowned slightly and advised, "Mr. Carter, I know you are in a bad mood now and want to relieve the stress by drinking.

But don’t overdo it, lest you do something irrational and make the situation even more chaotic.”

"Can there be a worse situation? I don't even know if I have a chance to play..." Danny Carter's voice was a little lonely. His career was still on the rise. If something like this happened suddenly, it was very possible.

It will cause a devastating blow to your career.

Daisy asked coldly, "Do you want to go to jail?"

"No, I don't want to go to that kind of place. I worked hard to practice rugby just to escape that fate. If I'm in jail now, why did I have to work so hard in the first place."

"Then just listen to me, don't drink too much, and don't come into contact with anyone, do you understand?"

Danny Carter nodded, "OK, you are the boss."

Luke tried to lighten the atmosphere and changed the subject, "Danny, have you offended anyone recently?"

"Do you suspect someone is setting me up?"

"It's hard to say yet, but we can't rule out the possibility."

Danny Carter stood up and walked around the living room, "I have a bad temper, and I have indeed offended many people, but I can't think of anyone who would do such a thing."

"Then think about it carefully and call me anytime you think of it." Luke handed the other party a business card.

"I will." Danny Carter put away the business card and asked, "Luke, you are also a policeman, but you have investigated many major cases. I want to know why the police found me guilty?

I have clearly explained everything, and anyone with a clear eye can see that Leigh Warwick lied."

Luke said, "The police are looking at objective evidence.

If they have enough evidence against you, they will use that evidence to get you to sign a plea agreement."

"I haven't done it, and I won't plead guilty." Danny Carter said firmly.

Daisy said, "As far as I know, the police have found no evidence that can convict Mr. Carter."

Danny Carter said, "Then why are the police still holding on to me?"

Luke said, "The police will suspect all possibilities and will not only consider the problem from your perspective. They will also consider the victim's confession and combine it with the existing evidence.

There are usually three results.

The first is to find definite evidence of the suspect and get the suspect to confess.

The second method is to find evidence of the suspect's innocence and release the suspect.

The third type of suspect has a motive for committing the crime and has indeed been to the scene, but there is no definite evidence of conviction. The victim and the suspect each insist on their own version of events, and the suspect also refuses to plead guilty.

After the police investigate for a period of time and cannot find new evidence, they will communicate with the prosecutor and decide whether to prosecute."

Luke concluded, "I think it should be the third situation now."

Danny Carter asked, "What should I do now?"

Luke took out the record book and said, "Through your description just now, I have selected a few key points, which may be the decisive factor in whether the prosecutor decides to prosecute."

Danny Carter swallowed, "What's the key point?"

"First of all, you two did play poker and left genetic material behind. In this case, if the woman calls the police, you will be very passive."

Danny Carter said, "I said before, she took the initiative to invite me to her home? She did it voluntarily."

"Do you have evidence?"

Danny Carter asked rhetorically, "California law emphasizes acquittal, shouldn't they be the ones providing evidence of my guilt?"

"The so-called innocence of guilt is more suitable for court trials.

However, during the investigation stage, the police and prosecutors have discretion. Even if the evidence chain is not perfect, as long as they think you are suspected of committing a crime, they can still prosecute you.

Do you want to go to court?"

"No, I don't want to go to court. This has a great impact on me and may ruin my career. I just hope this matter can end as soon as possible.

It would be best for the prosecution to drop the case."

Luke said, "Then you have to find evidence and prove your innocence to the police and prosecutors. As long as the prosecutors give up the lawsuit, you can get away with it. You don't have to go to court, and public opinion will turn to your side."

Danny Carter looked at Luke and then at Daisy, "I think this idea is great.

How to find evidence?”

Luke continued to ask, "Is there surveillance at Leigh Warwick's home?"

Danny Carter thought for a while, "I don't know, there shouldn't be one, at least I haven't seen it."

"During the police interview, did the police ask any special questions or questions that made you feel uncomfortable or threatening?"

Danny Carter recalled for a moment, "One day, the person who interrogated me was a white policeman. He asked me if I knew that Leigh Warwick had a boyfriend?

I replied, I don't know, Leigh Warwick said she was single."

Luke said, "From the police's inquiry, Leigh Warwick should have a boyfriend."

Daisy said, "If you go to court, this will be somewhat detrimental to you."

Danny Carter defended, "She lied. She told me clearly at the time that she didn't have a boyfriend."

Luke asked, "Where did she say that? Do you have any evidence?"

"I said it in the car. My car has a driving recorder. It should have recorded our conversation."

Luke wrote it down in his notebook and continued to ask, "Any other questions?"

"The police also asked me if I had ever offered to go to Leigh Warwick's house for coffee?

I answered no, it was Leigh Warwick who took the initiative to invite me."

Luke said, "If I guess correctly, Leigh Warwick should have claimed that you took the initiative to go to her house when taking the transcript."

"She lied. She invited me there."

"Do you have evidence?"

"When I stopped the car, she also said it in the car."

Luke nodded, "Now it seems that if you want to prove your innocence, you must first find your stolen car."

"If that car is found, can the recording in the driving recorder prove my innocence?" Danny Carter showed a hint of expectation.

"No." Luke shook his head, "You played poker at Leigh Warwick's house, not in the car. Therefore, the driving recorder cannot completely prove your innocence."

Danny Carter was a little annoyed, "Then what's the use of finding the car?"

"It can be proved that Leigh Warwick is lying." Luke analyzed, "Although I don't know Leigh Warwick's confession, since the police have arrested you, they think you are suspected of being strong.

There must have been some expression of criminal intent in the description of your actions by Lily Warwick.

For example, if she clearly tells you that she has a boyfriend, she is rejecting you, but you don't care.

Second, after you dropped her off at your doorstep, you took the initiative to ask to go to her home, rather than she taking the initiative to invite you.

At night, you strongly requested to go to the victim's house even though you knew she had a boyfriend. This was your criminal intention.

And the continued development of criminal intent will form your criminal motive."

Luke paused and continued, "As long as the car's driving recorder can be found to prove that Leigh Warwick is lying, then your criminal motive is untenable.

On the contrary, Leigh Warwick lied, and the police and prosecutors will doubt all her confessions and testimonies.

Police and prosecutors are human beings, and no one likes to be lied to.

The police and prosecutors have discretion in their hands. Once they have doubts about Leigh Warwick's words, they will be more inclined to accept your confession.

In the end, the prosecution against you was abandoned due to insufficient evidence."

Danny Carter forced a wry smile, "So, it's not that we are not competing against who is better, but we are competing against who is worse."

Luke said, "You can be bad, but don't show off to the police and prosecutors."

In fact, Daisy also understands these things, but as a lawyer, Daisy and Luke think in different ways and perspectives.

These words were spoken more convincingly by Luke.

Because Luke himself is a policeman, he also handles cases in this way. He is familiar with the police's case-handling procedures and psychology.

Danny Carter said, "But the police didn't find my car."

Luke said, "I'll help you find a car."

"Are you sure you can find it?"

"I'll try."

Daisy said, "Even if we don't find the car, we still have it, so we can make two preparations."

Danny Carter looked at Daisy aside, "I don't want to go to court."

Daisy said, "We can settle out of court and let Leigh Warwick withdraw the lawsuit."

"What kind of settlement?"
