This is interesting. Listen to what this guy says and pay attention to the implications. First, why would anyone have to fear for their lives for a trial? Who uses fear and intimidation to try and, "win," a court case? Mobsters typically, at least historically. That's just one thing I will point out, the rest I will leave to you.
Well, "climate," is used to describe things other than weather you know. Just sayin'.
I don't think SGT Kinchlow would approve.
