    I understand why the Chief may have
placated the tourist and smoothed over the incident. But what I don’t
understand is: why he hasn’t ripped me apart?
    I have to think about something else and
return to Doug Brewster’s Web site.  Back to where I was when Monk wanted to
stop; he said he was bored, but I think he hates the death sentence and avoids
talking about it. Doug Brewster’s site is complete and well designed. As the
Head of the Legal Division, it appears he supports Justice Reborn but I think
he’d flip in a microsecond if it would buy him one more rung up the ladder. If
I was the Judge, I would always keep this guy in front of me. Anyway here is
some more of the site:
    Armstrong’s scientific
innovations allowed a dramatic paradigm shift, and the associated legislation
was passed in record time. The media hailed the new system as Justice Reborn
and the tag became part of a worldwide vocabulary. The basics included:
    •    The system no longer had
prosecutors, defense lawyers or juries.
    •    A judge was assigned a
designated territory (a Sector) to administer.is staff consisted of four
Divisions: Legal, Investigative, Prisons and Forensic.
    •    The focus was on
uncovering the actual sequence of events associated with each crime; motives
and underlying circumstances surrounding the incident were not to obscure the
fact that there was a victim. Technology allowed an infallible review of a
crime, culpability no longer a debate.
    •    Prison time was a thing
of the past; penalties for noncapital crimes were the  30 to 60 days of
reorientation at facilities known as Farms.
    •    Repeat offenders were
under close scrutiny and penalties escalated with each incident.
    •    The death penalty was
reinstated, encompassing repeat offenders with the three and four strike
legislation in effect.
    •    Criminal investigations
revolved around three levels of drug controlled interrogations. The progressive
levels of examination were known as Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 Protocol
Interrogations, now S1, S2, and S3.
    •    The system was based on
the fact these interrogation techniques made it possible to know exactly what
happened, guilt or innocence no longer in doubt.
    Since the entire planet was
living with a doomsday forecast, the execution of a few unrepentant citizens
did not seem to be an outlandish prospect. The executions were like the human
sacrifice of an ancient culture and seemed to alleviate tensions and frustrations.
     If it was impossible to
control the environment, at least society could manage its institutions. The
revised legal system was now a prominent and integral segment of the zeitgeist
of our times.
    Most of the western world is in
the process of adopting the new justice model. The USA has an established
infrastructure and Justice Reborn is operational. England, Canada, and Germany
are close behind, developing the legislation to make this a feasible system for
their countries, with universities scrambling to enhance their science and
medical programs. The training of staff is a hurdle to overcome, the new
science complex, and the new legal paradigm a challenge. The learning curve is
steep, with no room for errors. Date: January 15, 2021.
       Let me add a few more details. The Judge
and his team of four Divisions met weekly to assess progress in the
implementation of Justice Reborn, review crime statistics, discuss any
unforeseen developments, and revise strategy, if necessary. The Divisions are:
     LEGAL: is mainly staffed by the original
prosecutor’s office.
    INVESTIGATIVE: is a revamped police
department with all the standard units.
    FORENSIC: is technical demanding with a
number of medical doctors, physicists, etc.
    PRISONS: The challenge is the operation of
two parallel systems: old and new.
    Some working details. Once suspects are
identified they have little choice but to cooperate. The Investigative and
Legal Divisions only require a minimum
