By almost every measure, Paul Pfingst is an unsentimental prosecutor. Last week the San Diego County district attorney said he fully intends to try (1)_____ Charles Andrew Williams, 15, as an adult (2)_____ the Santana High School shootings. Even before the (3)_____ Pfingst had stood behind the controversial California law that (4)_____ treating murder suspects as young as 14 as adults.
So nobody would have wagered that Pfingst would also be the first D.A.(district attorney) in the U.S. to (5)_____ his very own Innocence Project. Yet last June, Pfingst told his attorneys to go back over old murder and rape (6)_____ and see ff any unravel with newly developed DNA-testing tools. In other words, he wanted to revisit past victories—this time playing for the other team. "I think people misunderstand being conservative (7)_____ being biased", says Pfingst. "I consider myself a pragmatic guy, and I have no interest in putting (8)_____ people in jail".
Around the U.S., flabbergasted defense attorneys and their jailed clients cheered his move. Among prosecutors, (9)_____, there was an awkward pause. (10)_____, each DNA test costs as much as $5,000. Then there’s the (11)_____ risk: if dozens of innocents (12, the D.A. will have indicted his shop.
(13)_____ nine months later, no budgets have been busted or prosecutors ousted. Only the rare case merits review. Pfingst’s team considers convictions before 1993, when the city started (14)_____ DNA testing. They discard cases if the defendant has been released. Of the 560 (15)_____ files, they have re-examined 200, looking for cases with biological evidence and defendants who still (16)_____ innocence.
They have identified three so far. The most compelling involves a man (17)_____ 12 years for molesting a girl who was playing in his apartment. But others were there at the time. Police found a small drop of saliva on the (18)_____ shirt—too small a (19)_____ to test in 1991. Today that spot could free a man. Test results are due any day. (20)_____ by San Diego, 10 other counties in the U.S. are starting DNA audits.
选项
A、conclusions
B、convictions
C、accusations
D、justifications
答案
B
解析
名词辨析。conclusions意为"结论";convictions意为"定罪,判刑";accusations意为"控告,控诉";justifications意为"(做某事的)正当理由"。根据文章,去年六月,Pfingst告诉手下的律师重审过去的谋杀罪和强奸罪,看是否有能用最新发展的DNA检验工具解决的案件,因此conviction符合题意。
