In Detective Conan, you call this just an ordinary lawyer?

What is an evil spirit?

It refers to a non-human form. Such rhetoric may exist in cults, but this is in a courtroom, where everything is based on the law and evidence.

Nara Ichiro certainly wouldn't agree with Hideko's statement.

"A witness's testimony that lacks evidence and is not based on facts cannot be recognized by law."

Done.

Nara Ichiro continued speaking.

"The issue the defense attorney needs to address is the determination that Shan Shang was also mentally impaired when he fired the shot."

However, the testimonies provided by the witnesses so far are insufficient to establish that Yamagami's behavior constituted a loss of mental capacity.

"Because the witness's statement itself has certain problems."

"Alright, please stop speaking now."

Nara Ichiro's meaning is quite clear.

Although witness Hideko stated that the mountain was also an evil spirit, this statement was certainly not based on reality.

This cannot be used as evidence to conclude that the person on the mountain was also mentally impaired when the shooting occurred.

In Nara Ichiro's view, Komikado Kensuke wanted to use Hideko's account to prove that Yamagami had mental problems.

but....

Kensuke Komikado did not intend to use Hideko's statement to convince the judges that Yamagami also suffered from mental instability.

after all....

Without factual basis, Hideko's statement can only be considered a regular statement.

It doesn't mean anything.

We also cannot allow the referee panel to make any decisions.

Kensuke Komikado smiled slightly and said calmly:

"Your Honor, I did not say that Hideko's statement could establish that Yamagami's behavior constituted a loss of mental capacity."

"I just wanted everyone to see Hideko's mental state as Yamagami's mother, and to give everyone a glimpse into Yamagami's family environment, so that they can better understand what I'm about to say."

Gu Yi frowned slightly: "Attorney Komekado, what exactly do you want to prove?"

"What's the rush?"

Kensuke Komikado looked at Taniichi: "Scared? Lost again?"

"No way!"

Gu Yi's voice carried a hint of anger; being reminded of his 100% defeat record made him feel ashamed.

Kensuke Komikado looked at Taniichi with a mocking smile and did not continue arguing about the matter.

Because it's pointless; the prosecutor has now revealed all their evidence and cards.

What he had to do was to persuade the chief judge and the six non-professional judges with evidence and reason.

The process is quite simple: appeal to their emotions and reason with them.

Just state the facts and explain the reasoning.

Kensuke Komikado slowly began to speak:

"Yamagami's actions were based on family factors, taking into account his mental state."

"first...."

"Yamagami himself was born into a relatively wealthy family in Tokyo. His father had a good source of income, and his family was originally considered to be living a comfortable life in Tokyo."

"But everything changed after Yamagami's father passed away."

"Yamagami's mother, Hideko, was accidentally exposed to a brainwashing cult, which caused her to have mental problems."

Her behavior at home during the court hearing just now clearly shows that this is very abnormal.

"Hideko sold off her family's assets and donated them to the cult."

This step led to a significant change in the environment in which people lived on the mountain.

But as a man, he did not give up.

Instead, he shouldered the responsibility of being an older brother when his mother neglected him and his younger sister, Haru Yamagami.

"To support my younger sister's education."

"Everything's great, right?"

"But what did Hideko do?"

"She had actually been brainwashed by a cult and wanted to hand over Yamagami Haru to a man in his fifties from the church."

They even said it was guided by a cult, and Yamagami's spirit collapsed at that moment.

"Even though he prevented it from happening, didn't he suffer a mental breakdown?"

"Before this, Yamagami was always just a shut-in at home. How could he suddenly think of making weapons and killing people?"

"There is only one reason: he suffered a mental breakdown. During the entire murder process, he lost his mind, which caused 'mental problems' and led to the conclusion that the murder had occurred."

"So throughout the whole process, Shan Shang didn't do anything wrong; he just did what a man should do."

"I'm not saying that killing is wrong, but that there is no wrong in the mountains either."

"There were also mental health issues on the mountain, which led to the murder of An Jin Yuan San."

.......

Tani listened patiently to Kensuke Komikado's answer, but then immediately retorted.

"Loss of mental capacity usually refers to a mental illness that leads to homicide."

"However... there is no evidence to prove that mental illness also exists on the mountain!"

Do you have a report from the hospital?

"Hehe..." Kensuke Komikado smiled and looked at Taniichi.

"have."

have...?

Gu Yi was stunned. He remembered that there had never been any mental illness diagnosis certificates on the mountain. Where did Komekado Kensuke get them?

In other words, if there had been a diagnosis of mental illness on the mountain long ago, this trial would never have started.

Could Kensuke Komikado be faking it?

A sense of speculation arose in Gu Yixin's heart.

However, he was certain that Kensuke Komikado would not do such an illegal thing, after all, the legal penalties for falsifying evidence are very severe.

That's a criminal offense.

As a renowned lawyer, Kensuke Komikado couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

Moreover...

Fabricating evidence cannot overturn the final outcome of this case.

Faced with Kensuke Komikado's firm answer, Tani asked somewhat uncertainly, "Can you produce it?"

"Can."

Without hesitation, Kensuke Komikado produced the depression certificate that Yamagami had obtained from the hospital before committing the crime.

When Taniichi saw the depression certificate submitted by Kensuke Komikado, he almost broke down.

"Is this certificate of depression also called a mental illness diagnosis issued by a hospital?"

Kensuke Komikado: "This certificate was issued by a regular psychiatric department at a Tokyo hospital, and it is valid evidence. Moreover, depression is a mental health issue."

"How can this not be considered a diagnosis of mental illness issued by a hospital?"

"But... how can a man get a certificate of depression from the hospital?"

Kensuke Komikado chuckled, his gaze sweeping over Taniichi, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery: "Prosecutor, what do you mean by 'how can a man go to the hospital to get a certificate of depression'?"

"Can't men be depressed?"

"What kind of discrimination are you engaging in?"

Gu Yi stood there, stunned. Was he being discriminatory?

What nonsense is Kensuke Komikado spouting? How did his questioning turn into discrimination?
