Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 83
After finishing the words, Imanishi turned his back and pulled out a large whiteboard from the dock.The big whiteboard was placed on a bracket with rollers, and the rollers turned to make a sound of "squeak, squeak", and the whole big whiteboard was easily pulled to the side of the defendant's seat, and it was in perfect contrast with the TV screen on the opposite plaintiff's seat .

On the left side of the big whiteboard is a bird's-eye view of the section of the G227 expressway where the accident occurred.

The winding road is simplified into a C-like figure.

On the bird's-eye view, the bottom is marked with a red dot, and the top is a blue dot.

"Chief referee, please allow me to explain this picture." Imamishi fastened the first button of his suit, straightened his collar, turned around, and pointed to the bird's-eye view on the whiteboard: "This red dot is The plaintiff Terai was in the car when he could see the position of the iron block on the road, and this blue dot is the position of the iron block on the road where the incident occurred."

"So how far is the distance between these two points?" Imai turned around, faced the court, and pointed to a number on the whiteboard, "These two points are separated by a full distance of 687 meters. From the plaintiff just provided From the video, we can clearly see that on the day of the incident, the weather was fine and the line of sight was clear, and the plaintiff had already found the iron block at a distance of more than [-] meters.”

"What is the concept of more than [-] meters?" Imanishi walked to the right side of the whiteboard, supported the lower bracket with his hand, and rotated the whiteboard slightly so that the judges on the trial bench could see the right side of the whiteboard more clearly. content.

On the right side of the whiteboard is a form, divided into upper and lower columns.

The top column says the speed of the vehicle.

The lower column says braking distance.

And right above the table is a title with a few words printed - vehicle speed-braking distance comparison table.

"Chief referee. Please let us take a look at the vehicle speed-braking distance comparison table. In driving, there has always been a rule called the one-thousandth rule. That is, the safe distance for driving is one-thousandth of the speed of the vehicle. Let us Take a look at this comparison table."

Imamishi said methodically as if telling a story: "When the vehicle speed is 50 kilometers per hour, the required braking distance is about 7.62 meters. When the vehicle speed is 90 kilometers per hour, the required braking distance is 24.1 meters. When the vehicle speed is 120 kilometers, this distance is 70.9 meters."

"The minimum speed limit of the expressway involved in the case is 80 kilometers, and the maximum speed limit is 120 kilometers. Even if we take the maximum speed of 120 kilometers, the braking distance is only 70.9 meters. If we add the reaction time, then the braking distance is only 105 meters. The distance is only [-] meters."

Imanishi emphasized "105 meters" heavily, and then walked to the right of the whiteboard, "Chief referee. We can see very clearly that the plaintiff Terai should have found iron blocks on the road from 687 meters away. 687 meters, more than six times the safe braking distance!!!”

"However, the plaintiff didn't take any braking action when it exceeded the standard braking distance by 6 times. Instead, it didn't start to change lanes in a hurry until the moment it hit the iron block. Obviously, the plaintiff Terai's driving behavior existed. unusual."

After the voice fell, the situation of the trial was reversed in an instant.

The sympathy for Terai aroused in the courtroom by the video of the driving recorder just now was dispelled a lot.In the auditorium, the legal team of Kawamoto Expressway relaxed their anxious expression and smiled.

This is the trial style of a senior lawyer.

Miyagawa took a pen and quickly jotted down the key points of her father's discussion just now, then glanced to the side and glanced at Beiyuan beside him.In the last trial, it was all supported by Bei Yuan independently.In this trial, she...she must also help Beiyuan.Miyakawa bit her lower lip lightly.

I am a lawyer myself.

At this moment, I must fight for the interests of the client.

Never back down.

Miyagawa stood up from the plaintiff's seat, and looked at Imam on the opposite side, with a firm look in his eyes, without any fear in the past.

For the first time in more than ten years, Miyagawa dared to look her father in the eye.

The nightmare that belongs to oneself can only be broken by oneself.

above the court.

Father and daughter are relative.

The legal team of Kawamoto Expressway didn't have much feeling because they didn't know that the female lawyer in the plaintiff's seat was Imamishi's daughter.However, the middle and senior lawyers of the Imam West Law Firm next door have shown their wonderful expressions.They never thought that one day their boss's daughter would voluntarily give up a good high-paying job in the firm to follow a poor boy, and, today, she was still standing in court against her father.

Miyagawa adjusted his tense mood, and gradually relaxed the hand holding the pen tightly. After taking a deep breath quietly, he looked straight ahead and said:

"Chief referee. The other party's inference of the so-called safe braking distance just now is a wrong premise. The other party equated the time when the iron block appeared on the video with the time when our client Terai saw the iron block, and thus calculated the accident. Among them, the braking distance is 687 meters, which is 6 times the standard braking distance. However, this premise is wrong.”

"In the video, the time when the iron block appeared is not the same as the time when our client Terai saw the iron block. Please pay attention to the court, the iron block involved in the case is gray-black, which is very close to the color of the asphalt surface of the highway. We are in Knowing the information about the traffic accident in this case, I came to watch this video, so I discovered it early. It is impossible for the driver to notice the existence of the iron block as soon as the iron block appears in sight. Therefore, the defendant There is a fundamental premise error in the refutation, and the time when Terai discovered the iron block was inappropriately advanced, and the wrong braking distance was obtained."

When this sonorous and forceful rebuttal came, many of the middle and senior lawyers of Imam Nishi Law Firm who were still in the theater mentality in the auditorium showed surprised expressions.During their two years of working with Miyagawa, their perception was: Although the boss's daughter is the No.3 major in the Faculty of Law of Tokyo University and a good student, she is only a good student.

They felt that although Miyagawa was serious and disciplined, he looked like a top student, and he was very good at exams, but he lacked a bit of intelligence and the aptitude for flashes of inspiration. .

Coupled with the influence of her family, Miyagawa acts timidly and has no airs. Although her usual colleagues know that she is the boss's daughter, they don't pay much attention to her.

But right now, the temperament that Miyagawa showed just now really shocked them a little.

Unexpectedly, Miyagawa grew up so fast.

Moreover, the timid temperament on her body seems to be gradually being transformed by the professional atmosphere of a litigator.

As if surprised by Miyagawa's change, Imamishi's brows also twitched slightly, but then returned to normal.

Looking at the daughter in front of him, Imam clenched his teeth slightly.

Today, let him, a well-clothed and well-fed daughter, experience the difference in strength.

Let her know that this is the bright future, and following that brat named Bei Yuan will only ruin herself.

Imanishi looked at his daughter, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a sneer appeared, and then he looked at Judge Kumagai on the trial bench, "Chief judge, I have a new piece of evidence to add. It can prove why Terai's driving behavior is abnormal. "
