司法部门向警察倒打一耙

迈克?罗伊克

乔尔?史密斯身体不好，正在考虑退休，住在田纳西州一个安静的小木屋去。可就在几年前，他还是壮壮实实的，热爱自己在芝加哥郊区罗斯蒙特所从事的警察工作。

1979年的一天，他得知有个男子在一幢公寓大楼前开枪。这人刚跟他女朋友吵过架，还朝天开了一枪想吓退那些正在劝架的人，随后他就把她拖进了自己的住所。

史密斯和他的同事匆匆赶到那里，敲门要他放了那女的。那人却威胁说，他们要是闯进来，他就把他们的屁股都打烂。他们把门踢开后，那人开了两枪。史密斯手上和腿上各挨了一枪。随后那人就放下枪投降了。

（1）他叫克里?拉德曼，33岁，惹事生非也不是第一次了。就在枪击事件发生的那阵子，他还因为抢劫郊区的购物中心的一家珠宝店而在候审。 史密斯在医院住了一个星期，又在家休养了6个星期。可是到了1981年，他不得不再次接受手部手术治疗。一个月之后，他还中了一次风。医生们说血块可能是枪伤所致。

他的婚姻发生了危机，最后以离婚告终。他认为那也是枪击事件的后果。

拉德曼认了罪，因抢劫和枪击史密斯总共被判处6年徒刑。 但他只服了不到一半的刑期，27个月后就出狱了。（2）那就是说，枪击并可能致残一位警察只服了约一年的刑，抢劫珠宝店也仅服刑一年。

在狱中，拉德曼萌发了求知欲，常去狱中图书馆。他阅读各种法律书籍，接着就对那两个警察向联邦法庭提出了起诉。他声称两人袭击他，他开枪纯属自卫。他们还狠揍了他一顿，把他的一个手指都打断了。他说这是剥夺了他的公民权，为此他要求15万美元的赔偿。

史密斯听说了一这诉讼之后，对拉德曼的厚颜无耻怒不可遏。于是他起诉拉德曼枪击自己。

\我不是为了钱。我只是想一定要让他在民事诉讼案中同样被判有罪。\

陪审团和史密斯的看法相同。后来陪审团判定他应从拉德曼那儿获得3万5千美元赔偿金。可这笔钱史密斯至今连一个子儿都没见着。

原来，罗斯蒙特的保险公司认定，跟拉德曼打民事诉讼官司连诉讼费用都捞不回来。于是保险公司提出给拉德曼6千美元了结这事。（3）他可不是傻瓜，赶紧接受了。没有几个人枪伤了警察，还能因此捞进6千美元。

史密斯的律师向处理这一案件的联邦法官提交了有关法律文件，强令保险公司将6千美元给史密斯，而不是给拉德曼。这多少还说得过去，因为曾持枪伤人的拉德曼的确欠原来当警察的史密斯3万5千美元。

可是，不知由于什么原因，那位联邦法官为此大为恼火。他抱怨说史
