Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

Sarah, in her high heels and with a cold expression, walked straight up to Selena.

The two were less than ten centimeters apart, and could almost feel the temperature of each other's breath.

Their eyes met, and it was as if invisible sparks flew in the air.

Mars and Earth are about to collide.

"Captain Selena, this is an abuse of your power."

Sarah's voice was not loud, but every word was clear.

"How did I abuse my power?"

In the absence of a direct and strong chain of evidence,

Based solely on one-sided and clearly problematic testimony, they arbitrarily extended detention, imposed additional punishments, and especially repeatedly used extreme isolation measures such as solitary confinement.

Legally, this can be considered a disguised form of "forced confession" and "punitive detention".

Even if you obtain a so-called confession, in court, the judge can invalidate or even exclude it due to improper evidence collection procedures.

She leaned forward slightly, her gaze as sharp as a scalpel: "Let me remind you, your identity is that of a correctional officer, a prison guard, not a judge, much less a jury."

You have neither the right nor the qualification to convict anyone here.

What are the cornerstone principles of the American criminal justice system?

"Innocence is presumed until trial."

The presumption of innocence states that anyone accused of a crime should be considered innocent until proven guilty through due and full legal process in court.

Do I, a doctor, need to remind you of this?

Selena was caught off guard by the sudden, professional, and forceful questioning, but she immediately countered, trying to seize on the fact that Lin Feng was imprisoned: "Since you keep saying 'presumption of innocence,' then why is he being held here?"

Why were they detained?

Sarah's lips curled into an almost mocking smile, her eyes icy: "Are you questioning the Bail Reform Act passed by Congress?"

Is the legality of pretrial detention being questioned?

Or do you believe you are above federal and state laws?

"I..." Selena was speechless for a moment, her skin turning red instantly.

Lin Feng was thoroughly enjoying the watch.

Questioning Congress is too much of a burden for Selena Gomez to bear.

In terms of pure legal statutes and logical argumentation, she was clearly no match for Sarah.

Sarah gave her no chance to breathe, speaking like a seasoned prosecutor in court, clear and methodical, pressing forward relentlessly:

"Okay, let's put aside the procedural issues for now and focus on the facts, specifically the testimony of the eight people that you consider crucial evidence."

She held up one finger. "According to the basic principles of admissibility of evidence, especially witness testimony, at least three core elements need to be evaluated."

"First, whether the witness's perception and memory are clear and reliable."

Based on the injuries I personally treated and the hospital reports, all eight people suffered severe head impacts and physical trauma, with many experiencing moderate to severe concussions.

In that state of intense pain, terror, and potential neurological impairment, were they fully conscious?

Are the details of the event remembered accurately and coherently, without being confused or fabricated due to post-traumatic stress or medication?

How can you prove that their memory at the time of identification was clear, and not incoherent ramblings under the influence of pain and drugs, or a product of external suggestion?

She held up a second finger: "Second, the reasonableness of the testimony."

What is the core of their testimony?

A Chinese prisoner, unarmed and alone, defeated and severely injured eight organized gang members armed with weapons in a confined space, all without sustaining any injury himself.

Captain Selena, please use the logic and common sense of a normal person to judge how "reasonable" this statement is?

If you think this is reasonable, then please demonstrate how to subdue eight knife-wielding, malicious attackers with your bare hands and without getting injured.

"If you or your people can do it, I will immediately withdraw all my doubts."

Selena's face turned even uglier; her lips moved, but she couldn't refute them.

This certainly doesn't sound like something out of physics.

Sarah stretched out a third finger, her tone even colder: "Third, the credibility and bias of the witnesses."

Who are these eight people?

They are members of the same street gang, the Blood Gang.

They have a strong bond of shared interests, a subordinate relationship, or what could be called a criminal alliance.

Given their strong motives involving gang pride, revenge, and the possibility of retaliation against Lin Feng, their testimonies inherently carry a high degree of suspicion and risk of collusion and framing.

Any judge or jury would exercise extreme caution when faced with a group of witnesses who clearly have vested interests and potential biases regarding their testimony.

It even requires corroboration from other independent and objective evidence; otherwise, it is difficult to accept it as fact alone.

She pulled three fingers back, made a fist, and tapped them lightly on the document on the table, making a dull sound: "The above three points are the most basic framework for assessing the credibility of this testimony."

Now, please tell me, Captain Selena, without CCTV footage, without other independent eyewitnesses, with all other prisoners stating "I didn't see it," and without physical evidence.

Based solely on these eight flawed and highly suspicious so-called "confessions," you dare to conclude that Lin Feng is guilty?

How dare they impose additional punishments, including prolonged confinement, without authorization?

Who gave you this power? The warden? State law? Or your personal likes and dislikes?

Selena was so overwhelmed by this series of logically rigorous and aggressive questions that she involuntarily took a half step back, her back hitting the back of the chair.

Her face flushed red and pale, her chest heaved violently, and her mind raced, but she found that she could not find any strong arguments to refute every question Sarah raised.

However, Sarah's firepower did not stop.

She stared coldly at Selena, continuing to exert pressure:

"Such flawed and easily refuted evidence, yet you chose to accept it entirely without any other corroborating evidence."

And based on this, harsh and clearly punitive measures were imposed on a prisoner, especially an Asian prisoner.

Sarah deliberately emphasized the words "Asian" and "yellow race," then paused, letting the words echo in the quiet office.

Her gaze sharpened, like an icicle, piercing Selena's heart.

"I have to seriously question your motives, Captain Selena."

Are you trying to maintain prison order and enforce the law impartially, or are you engaging in racial discrimination?

The words "racial discrimination" resounded like a thunderclap in the office.

In an instant, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Marcus, Jason, and even the other prison guards peeking in from the doorway all held their breath and dared not speak.

The way they looked at Sarah was somewhat fearful.

This aloof and beautiful female prison doctor immediately slapped on the most sensitive and deadly political label; that's truly ruthless.
