there's a twenty one-year-old in nashville tennessee but he's a very
ground and she faces thirty years in prison because until one night she went
out with her boyfriend they both got drunk
and she decided it had to give the keys to her boyfriend she knew that she was
too drunk to drive
so she gave the keys to her boyfriend so he could drive well he's drunk drunk he
got into an accident and as a result to be bored calgary
in a car accident
so now i'll prosecutors in tennessee you're saying that
aaron brown even though she was a behind the wheel she should be prosecuted in
the same way that her boyfriend is being prosecuted because she'd only gave those
keys
to her boyfriend and he jumped right
now seen since you were at district attorney
tell me what your thoughts on this case not guilty from the gavel
not guilty
a lucky
haiti would prosecutors do this
when i was a prosecutor italy for a very short period time
uh... by irene really thought that my job was to
further the interest of justice
not to put people in jail for as long as possible
okay that to me is lazy work
and um... because easier to do
whoever comes into the door locking away for as long as possible
this much harder to admit that we have to listen to all sides
lick it all the facts and try to figure out
what the right thing to do is and if you're wrong than a sonya
that easy thing to do this or the book at them and how does all the time work
let's say
let's say uh... why this one case
a man or woman into a fight has been a life
and uh... and the husband push the woman like this but is holding a pen in his
hand just like this a puncture her arm wet with the pensive
so he was charged with domestic violence
assaulted by the weapon
and terrorist threat so my parts
subdivide but that lay ahead
what traveling u_s_ the return of all of the stop directly to your trip three
years the walked
he's like some accountant guy like he's never had no record
but that was in the wake of the o_j_ simpson trial and with a zero tolerance
policy towards bus arrives i i i think try every similar case i can't dismiss
overclock
really think this is this is all we want to do
and i i think that happens all the time when when you commit a crime you get
over to our defeating different crimes
set theoretically you have a hundred fifty years hanging over your head
sears out of ice has pleaded guilty plea for a lot less i mean what a risk
manager offered thirty-seven years which sickness plead guilty to five years
you think the five years right and then that's how long time people who are not
you'll feel with their charged with
just accepted the authorship report your uneducated you have access to the best
uh... legal our services
we heard it
this terrible c monetary
incentive
put everything on something like this visitor may have some good
twenty five k spur of the people
eighteen different trials for life do you cannot get a bigger issues feel
rather than just taking them you know as you've just as you said you would like
to about what it is really here's how it works
so as a as a prosecutor
you overcharged us right asi charge him with seventeen crimes for this one
incident
and then up its pressure to plead guilty fifty guilty blue you want right his
conviction rate the commission because hired higher and higher
so you mean you don't get paid for every action conviction of the paper every
destroys your geothermal serves
image she see more successful
now i can state here
constituencies are running for office the cock up on prime iam
i put these people away on a habit of seventeen years this guy oprah winfrey
after four years
strong blow for me
and nor i can stand up because
that's not what prosecutors should be doing
ahead the defense they play sometimes not always sometimes deeply fast and
loose with the rules
it's cutie
and their job is to get the client off
i get ok but you know what purpose someone's
someone in jail stick with their liberty
and we have the power of the state behind his it is our duty to do whatever
we can to make sure that we use our power just lee unwisely anna i'd just
testing
and only is it
just need your
let's lock 'em up and throw away the keys mentality and
and of course not all foster's to dissuade may end up most of our very
very good people but there are as in any profession
describes who do this and harold ickes
come on this girl thirty years because she didn't realize that's not what was
also see some pretty
are you getting any
i mean that's the best that's not just to stay
