Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 451 Fatal Error
Taking advantage of other people's powers does not belong to the use of powers stipulated in the criminal law.Facing the almost impeccable charges of the procuratorate, the young male lawyer in the court launched a counterattack beyond everyone's imagination where it was impossible.Even the extremely experienced prosecutor on the opposite side fell silent for a while.

Sometimes, changes in the situation come so suddenly.Those who appear to have the upper hand can face dire reversals in an instant.And the so-called underdogs may hold secret weapons that can defeat their opponents.The mutual transformation of strength and weakness is often only in an instant.

The university management in the public auditorium all turned their eyes to the public prosecutor's seat, and they wanted to see how the public prosecutor would respond.However, before the prosecutor could speak, footsteps were heard again.

I saw the young male lawyer walking forward again.

His legal opinion has not yet been published.

What ferocious shells have the defense's lawyers to fire!

Beiyuan glanced at the prosecution seat, then turned to the trial seat, and said, "Chief referee, in this case, there is actually a fatal ambiguity in the prosecutor's allegations. Although the prosecutor presented a lot of evidence, its law The allegations lack the most basic clarity."

The lawyer's voice wafted through the courtroom.

Iwanaga showed an expression of disbelief when he heard Kitahara's words.Is there any ambiguity in the corruption allegations against Morimoto? !The accusation is not clear enough? !How is it possible, how is this possible? !
Although the factual evidence of this case was made by Chikako, Iwanaga also saw it and passed it.He has also read the drafting of the indictment, and there is absolutely no problem.

And now, at the last moment of the court debate, the fledgling lawyer in front of him actually claimed that there was a major omission in the allegations made by the Kyoto District Prosecutor's Office.

Is this possible?
Is this possible? !

Could it be that you, a lawyer, are smarter than the prosecutor's office? !
Absolutely a bluff, a bluff!Thinking of this, Yan Yong's expression became more and more angry. The young man in front of him was not making a so-called defense, but provoking the majesty of the District Prosecutor's Office!
As for Chikako, who was next to Iwanaga, she trembled when she heard Kitahara's words.Of course, she didn't believe what the lawyer in front of her said, that there would be serious omissions in the prosecution's accusation.But...but...what if?Qian Hezi felt more and more fearful in her heart. If it is true that there is an extremely serious omission in the prosecution's accusation as the lawyer Beiyuan said, and she and Yan Yong did not see it, then...then this A lawyer, what kind of monster will... be? !
The eyes of the entire trial court were focused on the defense lawyer, and almost everyone's throats twitched uncontrollably, eager to know what the so-called loopholes in the defense lawyer's mouth were.

Beiyuan deliberately paused, feeling the gaze from the court, and said:

"In this case, the omissions in the prosecution's allegations are that the prosecution has not made it clear from the beginning. That is, whether the money embezzled by Morimoto is the scientific research funds of Kyoto University or the funds of production and research enterprises. Morimoto Whether the embezzled unit is Kyoto University or a production and research enterprise.”

The next moment, Kitahara raised his finger and pointed to the other side of the prosecution bench.

Victim’s seat—Ikegami, who participated in the lawsuit as Kyoto University today, was not present, and the victim’s seat was empty.

The male lawyer's voice sounded: "The prosecutor seems to be saying in the case that Morimoto's embezzlement is the funds of the industry and research companies. If this is the case, then the victim should not be Kyoto University, but the industry and research companies involved in the case." However, now, Kyoto University is participating in this criminal prosecution as a victim of Morimoto’s embezzlement. This also reflects that the prosecutor’s office believes that Morimoto embezzled funds from Kyoto University.”

"So, in this case, which organization's public funds did Morimoto embezzle?

He asked in a low voice, but it sounded like a violent bell.It wasn't until Beiyuan raised this question that almost everyone was aware of it.Yes, in the accusation, the Prosecutor's Office does not seem to clarify whether Morimoto embezzled funds from Kyoto University or from industry and research companies, but only abstractly said that what Morimoto embezzled was public scientific research funds.This crucial point in fact-finding is ambiguous throughout.Moreover, the people who participated in the court hearing have never found out.

The evidence presented by the prosecutor's office showed that Morimoto was extorting funds from production and research companies.

And it was Kyoto University that attended as the victim.

Such an extremely obvious contradiction was only discovered at this moment.

Many times, the absurdity is right in front of your eyes.

People turned a blind eye.

But as long as one person points it out, the seemingly accustomed world will collapse in an instant.

Beiyuan continued, "Chief judge. It is very important to clarify which organization the money embezzled by Morimoto belongs to. The reason is very simple. The object of embezzlement in the crime of corruption must be the money of this unit, not other units. That is to say, the prosecutor’s office cannot accuse Morimoto of embezzling funds from Kyoto University on the grounds that Morimoto is responsible for the financial management of an industry-research enterprise. Similarly, it cannot sue Morimoto on the grounds that Morimoto is a researcher hired by Kyoto University. Embezzlement of funds from production and research companies."

"The institution that has been damaged by corruption must be the same institution as the criminal. The property that has been embezzled must belong to the same unit. If the money that has been embezzled is not the finance of the institution, it cannot be treated as corruption!"

In an instant, the lawyer pulled the trigger.

An even more terrifying attack was launched again.

Near the end of the court debate, the lawyer really did the impossible.

The moment Yan Yong heard Bei Yuan's words, he also woke up suddenly.After hearing this argument, the prosecutor went back to the prosecutor's office's charges.Really...really, there is this problem.In this public prosecution against Morimoto, he and Chikako really did not clarify in the accusation whether Morimoto embezzled Kyoto University or funds from industry and research companies.What's more, Iwanaga even asked Kyoto University to participate in the criminal proceedings as the victim's litigation representative.

If it is determined that the target of Morimoto's corruption is a production and research enterprise, then Kyoto University should not participate in this lawsuit as a victim.Kyoto University is not actually a party in this case.A person who is not a party to the case but participates in the lawsuit as a party.This is an extremely serious procedural violation, which means that it is very likely that all previous court trials will be overturned and restarted.It's over!This will definitely annoy the judge!
Yan Yong immediately raised his head to look at the trial seat.

Sure enough, after hearing Bei Yuan's point of view, the expressions of the three judges on the trial bench became extremely ugly.Judge Sakuma frowned in a rare way, expressing his displeasure directly through his expression.

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Yan Yong's forehead.Yan Yong never expected that such an extremely naive mistake existed in this case from the very beginning.But neither she nor Qian Hezi saw it, nor did the Public Prosecution Review Committee of the Public Prosecutor's Office.It is such an extremely simple question-whether Morimoto embezzled the public funds of the university or the public funds of the enterprise, and now it has become an insurmountable peak of despair lying in front of the public prosecutor's seat.
