death wish (1974 film)
one night, when kersey was injured after another hunt for muggers, he is hospitalized. ochoa confronts him, revealing his willingness to make a deal to throw away kersey's weapon (recovered by officer jackson reilly) if kersey will leave new york. kersey made good on his part of the deal, moving to chicago (as seen at the end of the first "death wish"). as revealed in "death wish 3", one of the policemen involved in this conspiracy was richard shriker, who agreed to maintain kersey's secret in line with ochoa's edicts. according to officer reiner in "death wish 4", kersey's wife died in 1975, therefore the aforementioned events from the first "death wish" film took place either early or late in that year or in 1976 (based on the snow seen at mrs. kersey's funeral.) ochoa stated in "death wish ii" that kersey's slaying of muggers took place "four years" ago during "death wish ii" (see below), which appeared in 1982 (see below).
