The following are my opinions, and do not reflect the opinions or policies of any particular prosecutor's office.
Ono što sledi jesu moji stavovi koji ne odražavaju mišljenje niti politiku ni jedne određene kancelarije tužioca.
(Laughter)
(Smeh)
I am a prosecutor. I believe in law and order. I am the adopted son of a police officer, a Marine and a hairdresser. I believe in accountability and that we should all be safe in our communities. I love my job and the people that do it. I just think that it's our responsibility to do it better.
Ja sam tužilac. Verujem u red i zakon. Ja sam usvojeni sin policajca, marinca i frizerke. Verujem u odgovornost i u to da svi treba da budemo bezbedni u svojim zajednicama. Volim svoj posao i ljude koji ga rade. Jedino mislim da je na nama da ga bolje obavljamo.
By a show of hands, how many of you, by the age of 25, had either acted up in school, went somewhere you were specifically told to stay out of, or drank alcohol before your legal age?
Podignite ruke i pokažite, koliko vas, do svoje 25. godine, se ili loše ponašalo u školi, ili otišlo na mesto kog je izričito trebalo da se klonite, ili pilo alkohol pre punoletstva?
(Laughter)
(Smeh)
All right.
U redu.
How many of you shoplifted, tried an illegal drug or got into a physical fight -- yes, even with a sibling? Now, how many of you ever spent one day in jail for any of those decisions? How many of you sitting here today think that you're a danger to society or should be defined by those actions of youthful indiscretion?
Koliko vas je kralo u prodavnicama, probalo nelegalnu drogu ili se potuklo, čak i sa bratom ili sestrom? Koliko vas je provelo jedan dan u zatvoru zbog i jedne od ovih odluka? Koliko vas koji sedite ovde danas misli da ste opasnost za društvo ili da ti činovi mladalačke nesmotrenosti treba da vas definišu?
(Laughter)
(Smeh)
Point taken.
Upravo tako.
When we talk about criminal justice reform, we often focus on a few things, and that's what I want to talk to you about today. But first I'm going to -- since you shared with me, I'm going to give you a confession on my part. I went to law school to make money. I had no interest in being a public servant, I had no interest in criminal law, and I definitely didn't think that I would ever be a prosecutor.
Kad govorimo o reformi krivičnog zakonodavstva često se koncentrišemo na nekoliko stvari, i o tome želim da vam govorim danas. Ali najpre, pošto ste vi rekli meni, ispovediću vam se. Studirao sam pravo da bih zaradio. Nije me zanimala državna služba, nije me zanimao krivični zakon i nisam ni pomislio da ću ikad postati tužilac.
Near the end of my first year of law school, I got an internship in the Roxbury Division of Boston Municipal Court. I knew of Roxbury as an impoverished neighborhood in Boston, plagued by gun violence and drug crime. My life and my legal career changed the first day of that internship. I walked into a courtroom, and I saw an auditorium of people who, one by one, would approach the front of that courtroom to say two words and two words only: "Not guilty." They were predominately black and brown. And then a judge, a defense attorney and a prosecutor would make life-altering decisions about that person without their input. They were predominately white. As each person, one by one, approached the front of that courtroom, I couldn't stop but think: How did they get here? I wanted to know their stories. And as the prosecutor read the facts of each case, I was thinking to myself, we could have predicted that. That seems so preventable... not because I was an expert in criminal law, but because it was common sense.
Pri kraju prve godine pravnog fakulteta, bio sam na praksi u Odeljenju Roksburi Opštinskog suda u Bostonu. Znao sam da je Roksburi siromašni kraj Bostona, prepun oružanog nasilja i narko kriminala. Moj život i moja pravnička karijera su se promenili prvog dana te prakse. Ušao sam u sudnicu i video ljude koji su, jedan po jedan, dolazili u pročelje te sudnice da bi izgovorili dve reči, samo dve reči: "Nisam kriv." Uglavnom su bili crni i braon. I onda bi sudija, advokat odbrane i tužilac donosili odluke koje menjaju život tih osoba bez njihovog objašnjenja. Oni su uglavnom bili belci. Kako je svaka osoba, jedna po jedna, prilazila pročelju sudnice, neprestano sam mislio: Kako su došli dovde? Želeo sam da saznam njihove priče. I dok je tužilac čitao činjenice svakog predmeta, mislio sam u sebi, mogli smo to predvideti. Deluje tako predupredivo... ne zato što sam ja stručnjak za krivično pravo, već zato što je to stvar zdravog razuma.
Over the course of the internship, I began to recognize people in the auditorium, not because they were criminal masterminds but because they were coming to us for help and we were sending them out without any.
Tokom te prakse počeo sam da prepoznajem ljude u sudnici, ne zato što su to bili kriminalni geniji, već zato što su nam dolazili tražeći pomoć, a mi smo ih slali bez pomoći.
My second year of law school I worked as a paralegal for a defense attorney, and in that experience I met many young men accused of murder. Even in our "worst," I saw human stories. And they all contained childhood trauma, victimization, poverty, loss, disengagement from school, early interaction with the police and the criminal justice system, all leading to a seat in a courtroom. Those convicted of murder were condemned to die in prison, and it was during those meetings with those men that I couldn't fathom why we would spend so much money to keep this one person in jail for the next 80 years when we could have reinvested it up front, and perhaps prevented the whole thing from happening in the first place.
Na drugoj godini na pravnom fakultetu sam bio pripravnik advokata odbrane i tada sam upoznao mnoge mlade ljude optužene za ubistvo. Čak i u najgorima sam prepoznao ljudsku priču. I svaka je imala traumu iz detinjstva, žrtvu, siromaštvo, gubitak, isključenje iz škole, rane susrete s policijom i sistemom krivičnog pravosuđa koji svi vode do stolice u sudnici. Osuđenima za ubistvo je bilo suđeno da umru u zatvoru, i tokom tih sastanaka s tim ljudima nisam mogao da dokučim zašto trošimo toliko novca da bismo zadržali ovu jednu osobu u zatvoru sledećih 80 godina kad bismo ga mogli investirati unapred i možda sprečiti čitavu stvar da se uopšte desi.
(Applause)
(Aplauz)
My third year of law school, I defended people accused of small street crimes, mostly mentally ill, mostly homeless, mostly drug-addicted, all in need of help. They would come to us, and we would send them away without that help. They were in need of our assistance. But we weren't giving them any. Prosecuted, adjudged and defended by people who knew nothing about them.
Na trećoj godini pravnog fakulteta branio sam ljude optužene za male ulične prekršaje, uglavnom mentalno obolele, uglavnom beskućnike, uglavnom zavisnike, i svima je bila potrebna pomoć. Oni bi došli kod nas i mi bismo ih poslali bez te pomoći. Trebala im je naša podrška, ali im je nismo pružali. Tuženi, osuđeni i branjeni od strane ljudi koji nisu znali ništa o njima.
The staggering inefficiency is what drove me to criminal justice work. The unfairness of it all made me want to be a defender. The power dynamic that I came to understand made me become a prosecutor.
Zapanjujuća neefikasnost me je privukla radu u krivičnom pravosuđu. Zbog nepravednosti svega toga sam poželeo da postanem branilac. Dinamika moći koju sam shvatio učinila je da postanem tužilac.
I don't want to spend a lot of time talking about the problem. We know the criminal justice system needs reform, we know there are 2.3 million people in American jails and prisons, making us the most incarcerated nation on the planet. We know there's another seven million people on probation or parole, we know that the criminal justice system disproportionately affects people of color, particularly poor people of color. And we know there are system failures happening everywhere that bring people to our courtrooms. But what we do not discuss is how ill-equipped our prosecutors are to receive them. When we talk about criminal justice reform, we, as a society, focus on three things. We complain, we tweet, we protest about the police, about sentencing laws and about prison. We rarely, if ever, talk about the prosecutor.
Ne želim dugo da govorim o problemu. Znamo da je krivičnom pravosuđu potrebna reforma; znamo da je 2,3 miliona Amerikanaca u zatvorima i pritvorima, zbog čega smo naciija s najviše zatvorenika na planeti. Znamo da ima još 7 miliona njih na uslovnoj, znamo da sistem krivičnog zakonodavstva neravnomerno utiče na obojene ljude, pogotovo siromašne obojene ljude. Znamo da nepravilnosti u sistemu ima svuda koje dovode ljude u naše sudnice. Ali ono o čemu ne raspravljamo jeste koliko su naši tužioci loše opremljeni da ih prihvate. Kad govorimo o reformi krivičnog prava, mi, kao društvo fokusiramo se na tri stvari. Žalimo se, tvitujemo, protestujemo o policiji, zakonima o kažnjavanju i o zatvorima. Retko, ako ikada, govorimo o tužiocima.
In the fall of 2009, a young man was arrested by the Boston Police Department. He was 18 years old, he was African American and he was a senior at a local public school. He had his sights set on college but his part-time, minimum-wage job wasn't providing the financial opportunity he needed to enroll in school. In a series of bad decisions, he stole 30 laptops from a store and sold them on the Internet. This led to his arrest and a criminal complaint of 30 felony charges. The potential jail time he faced is what stressed Christopher out the most. But what he had little understanding of was the impact a criminal record would have on his future.
U jesen 2009, bostonska policija je uhapsila jednog mladića. Imao je 18 godina, Afroamerikanac, maturant u lokalnoj državnoj školi. Odlučio je da upiše fakultet, ali honororarni posao s minimalcem nije mu obezbeđivao finansijsku podršku koja mu je bila potrebna da se upiše. U nizu loših odluka, ukrao je 30 laptopova iz radnje i prodao ih na internetu. To je dovelo do njegovog hapšenja i krivične prijave za 30 krivičnih tužbi. Moguća zatvorska kazna je najviše potresala Kristofera. Ali nije najbolje shvatao koliki bi uticaj krivični dosije imao na njegovu budućnost.
I was standing in arraignments that day when Christopher's case came across my desk. And at the risk of sounding dramatic, in that moment, I had Christopher's life in my hands. I was 29 years old, a brand-new prosecutor, and I had little appreciation for how the decisions I would make would impact Christopher's life. Christopher's case was a serious one and it needed to be dealt with as such, but I didn't think branding him a felon for the rest of his life was the right answer.
Bio sam zadužen za podizanje optužnica tog dana kad se Kristoferov slučaj našao na mom stolu. po ceni da ću da zvučim dramatično, tog trenutka Kristoferov život je bio u mojom rukama. Imao sam 29 godina, nov tužilac, imao sam malo razumevanja o tome kako će moje odluke uticati na Kristoferov život. Kristoferov predmet je bio ozbiljan i tako je trebao biti i tretiran, ali nisam mislio da je žigosati ga kao kriminalca za ceo život pravi odgovor.
For the most part, prosecutors step onto the job with little appreciation of the impact of our decisions, regardless of our intent. Despite our broad discretion, we learn to avoid risk at all cost, rendering our discretion basically useless. History has conditioned us to believe that somehow, the criminal justice system brings about accountability and improves public safety, despite evidence to the contrary. We're judged internally and externally by our convictions and our trial wins, so prosecutors aren't really incentivized to be creative at our case dispositions, or to take risks on people we might not otherwise. We stick to an outdated method, counterproductive to achieving the very goal that we all want, and that's safer communities.
Uglavnom, tužioci uđu u posao sa malo razumevanja o uticaju naših odluka, bez obzira na naše namere. Uprkos našem diskrecionom pravu, naučeni smo da po svaku cenu izbegavamo rizike, čineći naše diskreciono pravo praktično beskorisnim. Istorija nas je uslovila da verujemo da nekako sistem krivičnog pravosuđa donosi odgovornost i poboljšava javnu bezbednost, uprkos dokazima za suprotno. I iznutra i spolja nas cene na osnovu broja osuda i pobeda, pa tužioci nisu stimulisani da budu kreativni po našem rasporedu slučajeva ili da preuzimamo rizike kod ljudi kod kojih to inače ne bismo radili. Držimo se zastarelog metoda, kontraproduktivnog za postizanje cilja koji svi želimo a to su bezbednije zajednice.
Yet most prosecutors standing in my space would have arraigned Christopher. They have little appreciation for what we can do. Arraigning Christopher would give him a criminal record, making it harder for him to get a job, setting in motion a cycle that defines the failing criminal justice system today. With a criminal record and without a job, Christopher would be unable to find employment, education or stable housing. Without those protective factors in his life, Christopher would be more likely to commit further, more serious crime. The more contact Christopher had with the criminal justice system, the more likely it would be that he would return again and again and again -- all at tremendous social cost to his children, to his family and to his peers. And, ladies and gentlemen, it is a terrible public safety outcome for the rest of us.
A ipak bi mnogi tužioci na mom mestu optužili Kristofera. Nemaju mnogo razumevanja za ono što možemo da učinimo. Optužba protiv Kristofera bi mu dala krivični dosije, što bi mu otežalo nalaženje posla i pokrenulo ciklus koji definiše neuspeh krivičnog sistema danas. S krivičnim dosijeom i bez posla, Kristoferu bi bilo teško da nađe zaposlenje, obrazovanje ili dom. Bez tih zaštitnih faktora u svom životu Kristofer bi verovatno počinio još ozbiljnijih krivičnih dela. Što bi više kontakta sa sistemom krivičnog pravosuđa Kristofer imao, verovatnije bi bilo da bi mu se opet vraćao i opet i opet - sve po neverovatnoj društvenoj ceni za njegovu decu, porodicu i njegove vršnjake. I, dame i gospodo, to je strašan ishod po sve nas, što se tiče javne bezbednosti.
When I came out of law school, I did the same thing as everybody else. I came out as a prosecutor expected to do justice, but I never learned what justice was in my classes -- none of us do. None of us do.
Kad sam završio pravni fakultet, radio sam isto što i svi drugi. Došao sam kao tužilac od kog se čekuje da deli pravdu, ali na časovima nikad nisam naučio šta je pravda - niko od nas to nikad ne nauči. Niko to ne nauči.
And yet, prosecutors are the most powerful actors in the criminal justice system. Our power is virtually boundless. In most cases, not the judge, not the police, not the legislature, not the mayor, not the governor, not the President can tell us how to prosecute our cases. The decision to arraign Christopher and give him a criminal record was exclusively mine. I would choose whether to prosecute him for 30 felonies, for one felony, for a misdemeanor, or at all. I would choose whether to leverage Christopher into a plea deal or take the case to trial, and ultimately, I would be in a position to ask for Christopher to go to jail. These are decisions that prosecutors make every day unfettered, and we are unaware and untrained of the grave consequences of those decisions.
Ipak, tužioci su najmoćniji učesnici u sistemu krivičnog pravosuđa. Naša moć je praktično neograničena. U većini predmeta, ni sudija, ni policija, ni pravo, ni gradonačelnik, ni guverner, ni predsednik ne mogu nam reći kako da vodimo krivični postupak. Odluka da se podigne optužnica protiv Kristofera i da mu se da dosije bila je isključivo moja. Mogao sam da biram da li da ga gonim za 30 dela, za jedno delo, za prekršaj, ili uopšte da ga ne gonim. Mogao sam da biram da li da utičem na njega da prihvati krivicu ili da predmet predam na suđenje, i najzad bio bih u poziciji da tražim da Kristofer ode u zatvor. Ovo su odluke koje tužioci donose svakonevno, nesputani i nismo ni svesni niti obučeni teških posledica tih odluka.
One night this past summer, I was at a small gathering of professional men of color from around the city. As I stood there stuffing free finger sandwiches into my mouth, as you do as public servant --
Jedne noći prošlog leta bio sam na malom skupu obojenih profesionalaca iz čitavog grada. Stajao sam i stavljao besplatne kanapee u usta, kako to obično rade državni službenici.
(Laughter)
(Smeh)
I noticed across the room, a young man waving and smiling at me and approaching me. And I recognized him, but I couldn't place from where, and before I knew it, this young man was hugging me. And thanking me. "You cared about me, and you changed my life." It was Christopher.
Na drugoj strani prostorije primetio sam mladića kako mi maše i smeši se i prilazi mi. Prepoznao sam ga, ali nisam znao odakle ga znam i mladić me je grlio i zahvaljivao mi se. "Blio vam je stalo do mene i promenili ste mi život." Bio je to Kristofer.
See, I never arraigned Christopher. He never faced a judge or a jail, he never had a criminal record. Instead, I worked with Christopher; first on being accountable for his actions, and then, putting him in a position where he wouldn't re-offend. We recovered 75 percent of the computers that he sold and gave them back to Best Buy, and came up with a financial plan to repay for the computers we couldn't recover. Christopher did community service. He wrote an essay reflecting on how this case could impact his future and that of the community. He applied to college, he obtained financial aid, and he went on to graduate from a four-year school.
Vidite, nisam optužio Kristofera. Nikad nije otišao pred sudiju ili u zatvor, nikad nije dobio kriminalni dosije. Umesto toga, radio sam s Kristoferom, prvo na priznavanju odgovornosti za svoje postupke, a onda, stavljajući ga u poziciju gde ne bi opet počinio delo. Povratili smo 75 posto kompjutera koje je prodao i vratili smo ih Best Baju i osmislili finansijski plan da otplati kompjutere koje nismo mogli da povratimo. Kristofer se bavio društveno korisnim radom. Napisao je rad o tome kako bi ovo moglo uticati na njegovu budućnost i na budućnost zajednice. Prijavio se na fakultet, dobio finansijsku pomoć i nastavio dok nije diplomirao.
(Applause)
(Aplauz)
After we finished hugging, I looked at his name tag, to learn that Christopher was the manager of a large bank in Boston. Christopher had accomplished -- and making a lot more money than me --
Kad smo završili s grljenjem, pogledao sam njegovu akreditaciju i saznao da je Kristofer menadžer velike banke u Bostonu. Kristofer je uspeo i zarađivao je mnogo više od mene
(Laughter)
(Smeh)
He had accomplished all of this in the six years since I had first seen him in Roxbury Court. I can't take credit for Christopher's journey to success, but I certainly did my part to keep him on the path.
postigao je sve ovo u roku od šest godina od kad sam ga prvi put video na sudu u Roksberiju. Ne mogu biti zaslužan za Kristoferov put do uspeha, ali svakako jesam učinio da ostane na tom putu.
There are thousands of Christophers out there, some locked in our jails and prisons. We need thousands of prosecutors to recognize that and to protect them. An employed Christopher is better for public safety than a condemned one. It's a bigger win for all of us. In retrospect, the decision not to throw the book at Christopher makes perfect sense. When I saw him that first day in Roxbury Court, I didn't see a criminal standing there. I saw myself -- a young person in need of intervention. As an individual caught selling a large quantity of drugs in my late teens, I knew firsthand the power of opportunity as opposed to the wrath of the criminal justice system. Along the way, with the help and guidance of my district attorney, my supervisor and judges, I learned the power of the prosecutor to change lives instead of ruining them.
Postoji hiljade Kristofera, neki su u zatvorima i pritvorima. Potrebno nam je na hiljade tužilaca da to prepoznamo i da ih zaštitimo. Zaposleni Kristofer je bolji za javnu bezbednost nego osuđeni. To je veća pobeda za sve nas. U retrospektivi, odluka da pustim Kristofera ima savršenog smisla. Kad sam ga prvi put video u sudu u Roksberiju, nisam video kriminalca, video sam sebe, mladu osobu kojoj treba pomoć. Kao neko koga su uhvatili da prodaje veliku količinu droge kao tinejdžer, iz iskustva sam razumeo snagu mogućnosti u odnosu na odmazdu sistema krivičnog zakona. Uz pomoć i savete mog okružnog javnog tužioca, mog nadzornika i sudija, naučio sam moć tužioca, koja menja živote, umesto što ih uništava.
And that's how we do it in Boston. We helped a woman who was arrested for stealing groceries to feed her kids get a job. Instead of putting an abused teenager in adult jail for punching another teenager, we secured mental health treatment and community supervision. A runaway girl who was arrested for prostituting, to survive on the streets, needed a safe place to live and grow -- something we could help her with. I even helped a young man who was so afraid of the older gang kids showing up after school, that one morning instead of a lunchbox into his backpack, he put a loaded 9-millimeter. We would spend our time that we'd normally take prepping our cases for months and months for trial down the road by coming up with real solutions to the problems as they presented.
Tako to radimo mi u Bostonu. Pomogli smo ženi uhapšenoj zbog krađe namirnica kako bi nahranila svoju decu da dobije posao. Umesto stavljanja zlostavljanog tinejdžera u zatvor za odrasle zbog pesničenja drugog tinejdžera, obezbedili smo lečenje mentalne bolesti i nadzor. Odbegloj devojci koja je bila uhapšena zbog prostitucije, kako bi preživela na ulici trebalo je bezbedno mesto za život i odrastanje - nešto oko čega smo joj mogli pomoći. Čak sam pomogao i mladiću koji je bio toliko uplašen starije dece iz bande koji su se pojavljivali posle škole da je jednog jutra, umesto užine u ranac stavio napunjen pištolj kalibra 9 milimetara. Provodili smo vreme koje bismo inače trošili na pripremu predmeta za suđenje, mesecima i mesecima, smišljajući stvarna rešenja za probleme kako su se javljali.
Which is the better way to spend our time? How would you prefer your prosecutors to spend theirs? Why are we spending 80 billion dollars on a prison industry that we know is failing, when we could take that money and reallocate it into education, into mental health treatment, into substance abuse treatment and to community investment so we can develop our neighborhoods?
Koji je bolji način da se utroši vreme? Kako biste vi voleli da vaši tužioci troše svoje vreme? Zašto trošimo 80 milijardi dolara na zatvorsku industriju za koju znamo da nema uspeha kad bismo mogli da uzmemo novac i preusmerimo ga u obrazovanje, lečenje mentalnih bolesti, lečenje zlupotreba droga i u ulaganje u zajednice kako bismo razvili svoje krajeve?
(Applause)
(Aplauz)
So why should this matter to you? Well, one, we're spending a lot of money. Our money. It costs 109,000 dollars in some states to lock up a teenager for a year, with a 60 percent chance that that person will return to the very same system. That is a terrible return on investment.
Zašto bi vam ovo bilo značajno? Prvo, tršimo mnogo novca. Našeg novca. U nekim državama to košta 109 hiljada dolara da biste zatvorili jednog tinejdžera na godinu dana sa šansom od 60 posto da će se ta osoba vratiti u isti taj sistem. To je očajan povraćaj ulaganja.
Number two: it's the right thing to do. If prosecutors were a part of creating the problem, it's incumbent on us to create a solution and we can do that using other disciplines that have already done the data and research for us.
Drugo, to je ispravno uraditi. Ako su tužioci bili deo stvaranja problema, na nama je i da stvorimo rešenje i to možemo tako što ćemo iskoristiti druge discipline koje su već sakupile podatke i uradile istraživanje za nas.
And number three: your voice and your vote can make that happen. The next time there's a local district attorney's election in your jurisdiction, ask candidates these questions. One: What are you doing to make me and my neighbors safer? Two: What data are you collecting, and how are you training your prosecutors to make sure that it's working? And number three: If it's not working for everybody, what are you doing to fix it? If they can't answer the questions, they shouldn't be doing the job.
I treće, vaš glas to može ostvariti. Sledeći put kad budu bili lokalni izbori za okružne tužioce u vašem okrugu, postavite kandidatima ova pitanja. Prvo: šta radite da biste mene i moj kraj učinili bezbednijim? Pod dva: koje podatke sakupljate i kako obučavate svoje tužioce, kako biste bili sigurni da to funkcioniše? Treće, ako to ne deluje kod svakog, šta raditie da biste to popravili? Ako ne umeju da odgovore na ta pitanja, ne bi trebalo da rade taj posao.
Each one of you that raised your hand at the beginning of this talk is a living, breathing example of the power of opportunity, of intervention, of support and of love. While each of you may have faced your own brand of discipline for whatever malfeasances you committed, barely any of you needed a day in jail to make you the people that you are today -- some of the greatest minds on the planet.
Svako od vas ko je podigao ruku na početku ovog govora jeste živi primer moći pružanja prilike, pomoći, podrške, i ljubavi. Dok je svako od vas suočen sa sopstvenom vrstom discipline, koje god greške da ste počinili, skoro nikom nije bio potreban ni dan u zatvoru da biste postali ljudi koji ste danas - neki od najsjajnijh umova na planeti.
Every day, thousands of times a day, prosecutors around the United States wield power so great that it can bring about catastrophe as quickly as it can bring about opportunity, intervention, support and yes, even love. Those qualities are the hallmarks of a strong community, and a strong community is a safe one. If our communities are broken, don't let the lawyers that you elect fix them with outdated, inefficient, expensive methods.
Svakog dana, na hiljade puta dnevno, tužioci širom SAD-a imaju moć toliko veliku da mogu proizvesti katastrofu isto tako brzo kao što mogu proizvesti priliku, pomoć, podršku i da, čak i ljubav. Ti kvaliteti su obeležje jake zajednice, a jaka zajednica je bezbedna. Ako su nam zajednice u lošem stanju, ne dopustite da ih advokati koje birate popravljaju zastarelim, neefikasnim, skupim metodama.
Demand more; vote for the prosecutor who's helping people stay out of jail, not putting them in.
Zahtevajte više; glasajte za tužioca koji će pomoći ljudima da ne odu u zatvor, koji ih neće zatvoriti.
Demand better. You deserve it, your children deserve it, the people who are tied up in the system deserve it, but most of all, the people that we are sworn to protect and do justice for demand it.
Zahtevajte bolje. Zaslužujete to, vaša deca to zaslužuju. ljudi koji su vezani za sistem to zaslužuju, ali najviše od svih, ljudi za koje smo se zakleli da ćemo ih štititi i dati pravdu zahtevaju to.
We must, we must do better.
Moramo, moramo bolje.
Thank you.
Hvala.
