Damn it !

And you haven't even been out of jail

Automatic five-year sentence.

How do you plead ?

- Not guilty ?

- l knew you'd say that.

Five years ? No ! No !

Five years. Aspen Penitentiary.

Case closed. Take him away.

Don't close the case.

You're misjudging me ! Open the case !

You're not going to be able

to sleep tonight.

He might've been telling

the truth, you know.

Haven't you ever heard of

extenuating circumstances ?

l've heard it all, Hershey.

l knew you'd say that.

My fellow Judges, have we forgotten

the lessons of history ?

My fellow Judges, have we forgotten

the lessons of history ?

However quickly these

block wars can be contained,

it's clear that

they're becoming an epidemic;

an epidemic that should

be dealt with... immediately.

The only solution

is a tougher criminal code.

Our situation gets worse

every day.

sectors in the last two months alone.

Violent crime is rising

at 15/o every quarter.

lf we don't increase

our resources,

they will be inadequate

in less than three years.

Three years ?

Our resources are inadequate now !

My fellow Council members,

as a city

we continue to grow,

and growth is painful.

Sixty-five million people living in

an area designed for no more than 20 !

lt's not enough

that they rely on us...

for food, clothes, water,

clean air..

Chief Justice,

the city is in chaos !

For social order,

we need tighter reins.

lncarceration hasn't worked

as a deterrent.

l say we expand execution

to include lesser crimes !

My fellow Judges,

l was barely in my teens

when l put on this badge.

When the time comes for me

to take it off,

please let me do so knowing that

it still stands for freedom...

and not for repression.

- [ Siren Wailing ]

- [ TV Reporter ] 53 hospitalized.

Nineteen dead, four of them

killed by a gang of squatters...

who were themselves killed

in summary executions by Judge Dredd.

As my special undercover

report continues,

l will take you behind the

scenes at the Halls of Justice...

for a disturbing probe into

these recent riots and block wars.

Coincidence...

or deliberate ?

Dredd !

Dredd !

[ Reporter ]

Some people think working these mean

streets has a dehumanizing effect on..
