Unyielding Spirit

Dai Li looked a little confused. He didn't know what to choose.

If he didn't plead guilty, the trial would continue. However, even Wilfrid, who specialized in criminal cases, couldn't guarantee he would win the case. Dai Li didn't want to be imprisoned, let alone be imprisoned for more than a decade. Just as Reiss said,even if there was only a 10% chance of a guilty verdict, Dai Li would not be willing to take that risk.

Compared with ten years in prison, the sentence that came with pleading guilty was much lighter. A few years of probation was quite acceptable and the community service also could be regarded as physical exercise.
