Chapter 133 - 119 Weight Upgrade
Back at the camp under Bridge 19.
Dominic and members of the Beggar Gang were all there, so was Dave, just looking a bit wilted and down, with everyone trying to console him.
Allen Zhang got out of the car and could hear their conversations as he approached.
"The police department and the courthouse hired you for a job, isn’t that a good thing? You’ve got a permanent position and a regular job now! You won’t have to sleep on the streets after you start making money."
Dave gave a bitter smile: "I am a lawyer, a defense attorney, my duty is to defend the accused to the best of my ability without violating my conscience or the law! But what did I do? I got my client sentenced to over 200 years... God! I couldn’t even dare to look at his face at that time! His gaze was practically ready to tear me to pieces!!"
His buddies were speechless. Isn’t that your normal level? What’s there to blame yourself for? It’s not like it’s the first time this has happened.
The copper-smelting criminal got the punishment he deserved, the police got their glory, you got a decent job; isn’t it a win-win situation?
Except the reputation might be a bit daunting.
Jon, the prisoner, was really naive.
He thought he’d let a public interest lawyer defend him to get a reduced sentence, then he’d talk to people from the Immigration Bureau and the embassy, hoping for leniency, at least a deportation back home instead of imprisonment here.
