For many people, some things are more important than life, such as righteousness, sentient beings, and innocence, so there will be "death to mingzhi", there will be "corpses to listen to heaven", there are "Mencius, Tell the Son, Fish I Want": "The two cannot be combined, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also", and there is a suicide live broadcast that occurred in front of tens of thousands of viewers in the United States in 1987.
The person who committed suicide is Robert Bud Dwyer, who was born in 1939, after half a life of struggle in 1981 as the secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of The Treasury, has political status at the same time, but also has absolute influence, belongs to the pyramid of the figures, can be said to be unlimited scenery, of course, the old saying also said "wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it"
The Ministry of Finance is a fat and oily department in the eyes of many people, and many people will immediately be unable to hold on to it when they go in, and use some careful thinking and tried to get something, but since Robert Budd Dwyer has reached this position, there is no need to do these things, and he has become a clear stream inside, and he has become a thorn in the eyes of some people.
In 1986, Pennsylvania officials discovered that some had overpaid millions of dollars in federal taxes because of tax deduction errors, and that the bar association responsible for calculating the taxes had been introduced by a public tender after Robert Budd Dwyer took office, and then the governor of Pennsylvania received a whistleblower letter accusing robert of bribery for unfair competition.
Because of the magnitude of the case, the court quickly accepted the case, and after investigating and collating the evidence with various departments, it was confirmed that Robert did accept bribes, and then many other so-called crimes were identified, including extortion, mail fraud, perjury and interstate transportation, a total of 11 crimes, which is simply too numerous to count!
Although these crimes did not allow Robert Bud Dwyer to obtain the death penalty (Pennsylvania only suspended the death penalty in 2015, there was still a death penalty at that time), but after several crimes were punished together, life imprisonment under U.S. law is life imprisonment, and decades of sentence is the reality of decades of prison damage, which is similar to the death penalty for Robert Bud Dwyer.
Federal prosecutors in court suggested that Robert Bud Dwyer, as long as he pleaded guilty and resigned to confess to identifying others, then he would not face 55 years in prison and a $300,000 sentence, which could range from as light as 5 years in prison, but the malicious part of this "hint" was more, and Robert Bud Dwyer certainly could not agree.
He insisted that he was innocent, saying that he had never helped the Bar Association, nor had he ever received money from the Bar Association, and that he was looking for people everywhere to defend himself, but because the evidence was so detailed and the witnesses pointed out that he had committed a crime, Robert Budd Dwyer could not turn over, and Robert Bud Dwyer was somewhat isolated, saying that everything was like a dead duck.
Of course, it was not without a glimmer of life, he could actually accept the federal prosecutor's hint, but how could he admit what he had not done? Robert Bud Dwyer did not confess his guilt or resign in the end, but he could not stop it, and seeing that he was about to be put on a hat that did not belong to him, he did something that shocked everyone.
He held a press conference before the verdict of the case, invited a large number of reporters to the scene, that day Robert Bud Dwyer was very nervous, no one would not be nervous after making such a choice, he stumbled to read the press release, in the many people felt bored, thought he was cunning again, and then left the scene one after another, he pulled out a gun.
There was an uproar at the scene, everyone thought that he wanted to take revenge on society, so they came forward to try to snatch his gun away, but they were stopped by Robert Budd Dwyer, who asked everyone not to come closer, and after the last reiteration of innocence, under everyone's gaze, the muzzle of the gun was stuffed into the mouth under countless shots, so that the trigger was pulled without giving everyone any chance to react.
With a gunshot, Robert Bud Dwyer slammed on the floor, the scene was chicken flying dog jump, everyone could not believe the scene in front of them, the crowd in front of the TV was also a shock, and then someone reacted to call an ambulance, but Robert Bud Dwyer had no possibility of being rescued, that shot was a fatal shot.
But at first, no one thought that Robert Bud Dwyer was determined to die, everyone thought that he was committing suicide, that he did not want to go to prison, that he was trying to get his family a $1.28 million will pension, and that he had accused him because of the shadow of many children, so was Robert Bud Dwyer really an illegal official?
Years later, someone made a documentary about Robert Bud Dwyer, and one of the witnesses who once left Robert Bud Dwyer speechless and unforgivable, admitted to the camera that he had committed perjury, lied, and "justice is late, but it arrives", and Robert Bud Dwyer finally got the innocence he wanted.
