Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 417 The final cross-examination
The university executives in the auditorium were already in a cold sweat.They seemed to have seen a terrifying monster in the courtroom, desperately trying to attack and bite Kyoto University.The defense attorney's strategy has become clear: to direct disaster to the university.If the investigation of the joint production and research joint venture of the Ministry of Engineering is carried out again in this case, I don't know what kind of scene will result.

The top brass couldn't understand the defense attorney's behavior.After all, where did the university provoke this lawyer, so that from the ancient book counting plagiarism case to the current Morimoto corruption case, why did the lawyer hold on to the university so tightly? !
Yan Yong was on the prosecution seat, his brows were already deeply frowned.For some reason, the male lawyer in front of him can always accurately grasp the weak link in the evidence of the prosecutor's office, and thus launch a fierce attack.

However, the senior prosecutor still stood firmly on the spot, and he said in a very strong tone: "Since the defender feels that our evidence is insufficient, the collegial panel of this case can completely send this case back for supplementary investigation. However, I want to remind You, lawyer Beiyuan."

"Even if the case is returned for supplementary investigation, your client must be detained in the detention center. The longer the investigation, the longer your client will be detained. And, if the case is returned for supplementary investigation, then our prosecutor's office will definitely spend more Strength, uprooting. At that time, it is hard to say whether other criminal acts of your client will be found out."

Yan Yong said coldly, "Don't forget that once a new crime is discovered, the investigation period will be restarted. Your client's detention period will also be restarted. This means that your client will also be detained in the detention center. Lock it up for longer. You, lawyer Beiyuan, have you really thought about it?!"

In court, the prosecutor blatantly threatened lawyers and defendants.This is criminal proceedings.In many cases, the defendant is often detained in the detention center for a long time due to the delay in investigation activities, so that the time spent in the detention center is even longer than the prison time.The conditions in the detention center are not only worse than those in the prison, but more importantly, the defendant in the detention center cannot enjoy a reduced sentence because the court has not yet issued a sentence at this time.

The powerful aura of this senior prosecutor made the atmosphere of the courtroom so oppressive that it was suffocating.Some ordinary citizens in the auditorium even began to worry about whether the young lawyer, the defendant, could withstand such tremendous pressure.

Bei Yuan still stood in front of the defense seat, with undiminished demeanor, and said calmly, "I believe my client is innocent. This is my judgment based on my legal expertise. No matter how many times your prosecutor's office returns for supplementary investigation, it will not be able to White tampered with black. An innocent person is innocent, no matter how long you investigate, my client will still be innocent."

"However, your prosecutor's office always holds the idea of ​​'if a person has been imprisoned, he must be proven guilty'. Instead of making an objective and fair decision based on the facts and materials that have been collected, it is necessary to test the evidence and materials. Endless, borderless over-interpretation to incriminate the accused."

"Of course you can return for supplementary investigation and continue to detain my defendant. However, the longer Morimoto is imprisoned, the greater the mistakes you make. But if you correct your mistakes in time and return from your mistakes, today is not too late !"

Hearing these words, Yan Yong suddenly opened his eyes a little bit, and his whole body trembled slightly because of anger.Prosecutors have always reprimanded defense lawyers in court, but today, defense lawyers reprimand prosecutors.absurd!It's just ridiculous!

"Innocent? You still think your client is innocent?" Yan Yong said angrily, "Then what are the luxury cameras, high-end stereos, high-end business suits and other personal consumption items that we searched?! These physical evidences can be clear It shows incomparably that the defendant, Morimoto, embezzled public funds and used them for personal pleasure. He is a complete and indisputable embezzler! No matter how much you deny it, you can’t refute the ironclad facts!!!”

Iwanaga's almost roaring voice echoed in the courtroom.

However, in the next second, Bei Yuan's somewhat indifferent voice said, "Next, the defender will issue cross-examination opinions on the third set of evidence presented by the public prosecutor."

In an instant, the entire court seemed to fall into an unprecedented silence because of this extremely short sentence.

The defense lawyer's words seemed to hide a magical power, which could turn the clouds upside down in an instant.

Another prosecutor sitting on the prosecution bench, Chikako, was a little stunned.The third set of evidence is mainly the consumer goods purchased by Morimoto that were seized by the prosecutor's office.How else can this be cross-examined?Can it be said that there is nothing? !

Beiyuan looked sideways at the judging seat and said, "Chief referee. First, the defender has explained just now that the prosecutor's office failed to distinguish whether the funds transferred from the club to Morimoto were legal income or illegal embezzlement. Therefore, for Morimoto's large shopping mall in Kyoto It is also impossible to distinguish whether the purchased consumer goods were purchased with legitimate income or with embezzled funds. Therefore, the so-called seized personal consumer goods cannot constitute evidence of Morimoto’s corruption unless the prosecutor’s office proves that these items were purchased with embezzled funds. purchase."

"Second!" Kitahara took a step in the direction of the public prosecutor's seat, "From the search records, we can see that the above-mentioned consumer items were not found in Morimoto's personal residence, but in Asai Kiko Machine Tool Co., Ltd." Therefore, there are major doubts about whether these consumer goods are Morimoto's personal belongings, or whether they are company assets purchased by him for the club."

"If Morimoto really bought it as a personal item, why did he bring it back to the club instead of home after buying it in a large shopping mall. There is reasonable doubt whether these purchased consumer goods are company assets The Prosecutor's Office did not fulfill its burden of proof that the items listed above belonged to Morimoto!"

Upon hearing the words, Yan Yong immediately refuted in a fierce tone, "The defendant Morimoto's income is not from the right source, so naturally he dare not openly consume in public, but to cover up it in various ways. After purchasing the relevant consumer goods, he only dared to place them in the club. In it, it just shows Morimoto's subjective mentality of ghosts in his heart! Defense lawyer, I can tell you that in the hundreds of job-related crimes I have handled, this kind of situation is simply too common!"

Above the court, all eyes are on the defense lawyer.

After all, this batch of personal consumer goods purchased by Morimoto is indeed a certain degree of ironclad evidence.

If its probative force cannot be overthrown, then no matter how effective the previous cross-examination is, it will be useless in the end.

However, Kitahara didn't quickly refute the prosecutor's words, he just picked up a criminal investigation file lightly, and opened one of the pages. On it was the scene search photo of Asai Kiki Machine Tool Co., Ltd.In the next second, Bei Yuan opened his mouth and said:

"The procuratorial office seized 6 sets of high-end business suits on the spot. The photos recorded at the search scene show that the size of the suits is 44B, which corresponds to a height of 1 meters."

"However," the young male lawyer looked up at the trial seat, "My client, Morimoto, is 1 meters tall."
