杰拉多:我去了另一个法庭,看了看法官宣判谋杀犯。
Nancy: Which murderer?

杰拉多:就是那个想通过辩诉协议减轻刑罚,最后没弄成的那个谋杀犯。法庭上,她的律师试着说明有减刑情节。但是法官不买账。
Nancy: Didn’t she commit two murders?
南希:她没承认她实施了两起谋杀案?
Geraldo: That’s right. The judge sentenced her to 35 years to life in prison for each crime.
杰拉多:没承认,法官判她每起谋杀案坐35年监禁。
Nancy: Will she serve them consecutively or concurrently?
南希:连续执行还是合并执行?

杰拉多:连续执行。就算因为表现良好,接下来的50年里,她也会在牢狱中度过。

Geraldo: Of course. What would we crime reporters do without juicy murders?
杰拉多:当然,如果没有这么多有阴谋诡计的谋杀犯,还要我们这些罪案报道人做什么?
