hard-nosed強硬

You have a D.A... he doesn't talk about... when they convict you or how they convict you... he's talking about how he's going to kill you. He don't give a damn if you're innocent. He don't give a damn if you're guilty. He's talking about killing you. You get numb. You get.... It's like a bad dream. You want to wake up, but you can't do it. Fifteen times, 20 times a day, I hear this same story... about what happens when a man is electrocuted. His eyeballs pop out. His fingernails pop out. His toenails pop out. He bleeds out of every orifice he's got. They don't care.... They don't care. All they want to do is talk about how they're going to kill you. That's the only thing that they cared about and talked about. At that point, that's all they're wanting.

你碰上一位地方檢察官…… 他不談…… 你是怎麼被定罪的，或者他們怎麼給你定的罪…… 他只談打算怎麼弄死你。 你是不是無辜的，他才不管。 你有沒有罪他都不在乎，他滿腦子就是怎麼弄死你。 人會變麻木。你會…… 就像一場噩夢，你想醒過來，卻醒不了。 一天十五遍、二十遍，我都在聽同樣的說法…… 講一個人被電刑處死時會怎麼樣。 他的眼珠子會爆出來。 他的手指甲會爆出來。 他的腳趾甲會爆出來。 他渾身每個孔都在往外冒血。 他們不在乎…… 他們根本不在乎。 他們只想談一件事：怎麼把你弄死。 他們關心的、掛在嘴上的，只有這個。 到那時候，他們要的就只有這個。

Dennis filed the motion for a new trial... then we filed an amended motion for a new trial. About 20 days later, we were to have a hearing on it. Both Robert Miller and his wife testified there. But we could not bring out the fact... that they had said that they were gonna get that reward money... and that they didn't care whether they saw anything or not... but their car was too steamed up. We were not allowed to get any of that in... because it was held that it was impeaching testimony... and therefore it came too late. We kept running into blank walls.

丹尼斯提交了新審動議…… 接著我們又提交了補充的新審動議。 大約二十天後，這動議要開庭聽證。 羅伯特·米勒和他妻子都到場作了證。 但我們沒法把這件事擺出來…… 他們說過自己衝著那筆賞金去…… 還說看沒看見根本無所謂…… 只不過他們的車窗上全是霧氣。 這些內容，法庭一句都不許我們提…… 因為那被認定為彈劾證人可信度的證詞…… 所以來得太晚了。 我們四處碰壁。
