The hero of the incident is Robert Budd dwyer, 19 13 was born in St. Charles, Missouri, USA. After graduating from college, dwyer embarked on his official career, which was smooth sailing. Elected senator in Pennsylvania, 198 1 was appointed as the state treasury secretary. He can be described as an upper-class figure with a halo. 1986, dwyer, as the finance minister, was accused of taking bribes. At that time, officials found that the Ministry of Finance had overpaid a tax. After continuous investigation, the police finally found the Minister of Finance, dwyer.
However, in the face of sudden accusations, dwyer said that he was framed and wronged by others, but from the evidence held by the police, this case has a lot to do with dwyer. For a time, condemnation from all walks of life in the United States brought great pressure to dwyer and his family. However, dwyer still denies his corruption and insists that he is innocent, but all the investigation evidence shows that dwyer is the mastermind behind this corruption and bribery case. Finally, the court sentenced dwyer to 55 years' imprisonment and fined him $300,000 for accepting bribes and embezzlement.
1987 65438+122, the day before the execution of the judgment, dwyer, who claimed to have been framed, invited many people to hold a press conference in Harrisburg, and many news media reporters gathered together. At that time, everyone speculated that dwyer had to apologize publicly for his bribery and corruption crimes, but dwyer didn't tell everyone the theme of the press conference at first. I saw him with heavy steps and a dignified expression. He doesn't seem so nervous and relaxed as before. He walked onto the stage with a thick speech in his hand and began to read it calmly, repeatedly showing everyone that he had been wronged and framed.
Because the content of the speech is too long, many journalists have lost patience after waiting for a long time. Some journalists feel that they have no news value and want to leave. While reading the speech, dwyer observed the expressions of all the people in the audience. When he saw a reporter leaving, he immediately stopped speaking, stopped them and patiently persuaded them not to leave. After that, he hesitated, as if he had made some important decision in his heart, and then immediately said, "I will die here today." Please ask all media reporters to record my story and make it public. " The words sound just fell and dwyer took out a pistol from an envelope. After seeing this situation, everyone panicked and prepared to evacuate.
Seeing this situation, dwyer immediately told everyone not to panic, saying that he wouldn't hurt everyone. Some people tried to stop dwyer from doing stupid things. Dwyer noticed them and told them to stay away from themselves, or they might get hurt. Then dwyer picked up a pistol, put it in his mouth and pulled the trigger. After a loud noise, dwyer fell dead. The whole process of suicide was filmed by a video camera and broadcast live on TV, which caused a great sensation in the United States. Seeing the scene of dwyer's suicide, many people felt sorry for him.
Dwyer's death occurred the day before the execution of the court decision, so his family later received a high pension from the government. Some people speculate that he chose to commit suicide in order to leave money to his family. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that he was later framed. Although dwyer freed himself by committing suicide, his family had to bear the pain of losing their loved ones all their lives. If he is really innocent, it will be more difficult to clarify himself after suicide, and there is hope to continue living.
