06汽车自燃烧死垂危病人
早上好,我的名字是Denise Bauer,我和Sara Holt是原告Jose Pitino的代表律师。原告的妻子Elena死于一场源自他们车库的火灾,造成这场火灾的原因是因为被告所生产并销售的皮卡无故自燃,而这辆皮卡当时并没有发动,事实上,那辆车整晚都没有被使用过。这个可怕的悲剧就发生在我们身边,当然,我们在这个法庭里所做的一切都不能挽救回Elena Pitino 的生命。如你们所知,官司的最终目的其实就是用金钱来试图弥补当事人受到的伤害。必须要肯定,问题之一,就是Elena到底在这场大火中受到多少伤害?我们也必须承认,Elena已经处于子宫癌晚期,事实上,她当天从医院返回家,就是要在家里等候死亡来临。你们可能会问自己“她到底承受了多大的痛苦?”这些你们都可以从Jose Pitino处了解到,而且你们会了解到她所拥有的是她生命当中的最后的几天,事实上,她只剩下六或七天时间可以和家人团聚了,可是她没能享受到这最后的时光,她根本就没有机会,再次坐在她的孙子旁,Jose,也再也没有机会可以抱着陪伴他度过了37年光阴的妻子,亲手抱着她„如果你们其中任何一位曾经有过挚爱不幸死于癌症或其他绝症,你们就能体会得到那短短地几天,会有多么的弥足珍贵。Jose和Elena Pitino本来可以有这个机会,但是他们却没有得到,你们虽然不能拯救Elena Pitino 的生命,但是也许你们可以拯救其他人的,因为这些诉讼,除了金钱赔偿外,也能够警醒世人。有谁最能够阻止这些悲剧的再度发生呢?当然,你们也许不禁会想说,这只是一场意外,但是事实上,这不仅仅是一场意外。这是由一家大型卡车制造商生产的十分畅销的一种皮卡,而它们居然会无故自燃,而且被告最近召回了数以百万计他们所生产的车辆,正是由于这些车辆出现了这个故障。你们看,这也许就是你们明天所要面临的情境。那么你们要怎么做才能使这些事情不再发生?你要让他们付出沉重的代价。当这场审判的结果最终变为一个具体的金额数字时,我恳求你们,作为裁定者,给我们一个数字,让它可以警醒所有汽车制造商们,对他们说,“务必使你们的车更加安全”为了你们自己,为了你们的子女,为了你们的孙辈,我恳求你们,作为一个人,作为这个社会的良心,为Elena Pitino所失去的一切,带来一份合理的判决,带给她的家庭,更重要的是,她的中学爱人。
Good morning. My name is Denise Bauer. I along with Sara Holt will be representing the plaintiff, Hose Pitino, who’s wife Elena died in a fire that started in their garage when their pickup truck, manufactured and sold by the defendant, suddenly burst into flames. The truck was not running at the time. In fact, it had not been driven all night. Let me begin by saying that a terrible human tragedy has occurred here. And of course nothing that happens in this courtroom will bring Elena Pitino back. Lawsuits you see are ultimately about money. Putting a dollar figure on suffering. Admittedly there is some question as to how much Elena even suffered in the fire. Also admittedly Elena was in the final stages of ovarian cancer. She had come home from the hospital, in fact that very day, basically to die. You may ask yourselves, “What damages did she really endure?” Well, you will hear from Hose Pitino and what you will hear is that she had a day, and another day coming after that, and another one after that. She had in fact six or seven days to be at home with her family. She didn’t get those days. She never got that last opportunity to sit with her grandchildren. Hose was never able his wife of thirty-seven years in his arms. Hold her in his arms and uhm… If any of you have spent the final days with a loved one dying of cancer or another disease you know those moments are the most precious. Hose and Elena Pitino had those days
coming. They didn’t get them. You can’t bring Elena Pitino back. But you are in a position to help save others. Because lawsuits, in addition to money, are about allocating burden. Who is best able to prevent this tragedy from happening again? Well you might be inclined to think, “This is just a freak accident.” But in fact this is a much bigger problem. This is a very popular sports truck made by a major manufacturer of sport trucks. And they’re catching fire! The defendant has recently recalled almost a million of their vehicles because of this malfunction. So you see? This is potentially your problem. How do you motivate a corporate conglomerate to fix a defect? You make it too expensive for them not to. At the conclusion of this trial, when it finally comes down to a dollar amount I’ll be asking you to be legislators and come back with a number that says to the defendant and all car manufacturers, “Make your vehicles safe.” For your sake. For your daughters. For your grandsons. And I’ll ask you to be human beings. The conscience of a passionate society and return with a verdict that somehow reflects everything that was taken from Elena Pitino, her family and most of all her high school sweetheart.
