Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 443 Defense Opinion
In the courtroom, Prosecutor Yan Yong looked like an arhat glaring at him, and his words carried an irresistible magic power, like a huge Buddha statue standing solemnly in a temple, making all the guilty people cry bitterly, knelt down, and carried out Worship.

The senior prosecutor's public prosecution opinion not only formed an airtight net, but also targeted and strongly refuted the arguments raised by the defense lawyer in the court investigation.In just a split second, Qian Hezi's disadvantage in the court investigation stage was reversed.

Sure enough... the prosecutor on the other side is still the best... Many audience members in the auditorium thought so.In the previous stage of court investigation, many citizens were even really moved by the young male lawyer, thinking that Morimoto was innocent.However, right now, after Yan Yong read out the public prosecution opinion, they suddenly woke up like a dream, and they realized that they almost stepped into the bewitching of the defendant's lawyer.

At this moment, Sancheng and Ishimura were sitting together on the seat outside the wooden fence in the courtroom.

Because during the first Shicun court trial, he felt unwell, so this time, Sancheng also came with Shicun.

Although Sancheng had attended the court as a witness before, this was the first time for her to observe the trial in person.She never thought that there would be such a fierce confrontation in court.Every time she went back and forth, it even made her heart skip a beat.

Sancheng's eyes fell on the defense seat.She couldn't imagine that Beiyuan...Beiyuan has always been... just facing such a fierce confrontation in court.But such a fierce confrontation was just a part of that man's daily life.Thinking of this, the beautiful forensic doctor couldn't help but gasp.

Bei Yuan sat on the defense seat, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The more ferocious the attack, the more it aroused his interest.

The more corpses are strewn across the battlefield, the more he can arouse his spirit.

After all, he is a person who has no sense of being alive.

Only that kind of imminent danger can evoke the feeling of his existence in this world.

Bei Yuan stood up, walked to the seat, and said:

"Head referee."

"Jiang Teng Law Firm accepted the entrustment of the defendant's family, Ishimura, and appointed me as the defendant's defender. After reviewing the files before the trial and participating in the court investigation, the defender believes that the facts of this case are unclear and the evidence is insufficient. The defendant should be declared innocent according to law."

The word "not guilty" echoed clearly in the courtroom.

The lawyer still insisted on pleading not guilty.

To confront the prosecutor's office.

"First, in this case, there are doubts about whether the funds of the production and research enterprises belong to public funds." Beiyuan took out the reports of the production and research enterprises one after another from the defense seat behind him, "The five companies involved in the case accused by the prosecutor's office , Asai Kiko Machine Tool Co., Ltd., Kurahashi Electronic Instrument Co., Ltd., Engineering Mechanization Joint Research Institute, Adachi Information Koden Co., Ltd., Kumata Tatemoto Machinery Co., Ltd., etc."

"These five clubs not only receive scientific research funds obtained from the university, but also operate external businesses. The income they obtain from operating business is stored in the same account as the scientific research funds. They are mixed with each other and are not managed separately. That is to say, it is actually impossible to distinguish whether the funds in the company's public account are public scientific research funds or the company's own funds for external operations."

"Even if it is assumed that the defendant Morimoto really took the corresponding funds from the company in violation of regulations, the funds may be the company's own funds for external operations rather than public scientific research funds. In the case where the two cannot be distinguished, the crime should be beyond doubt According to the principle of law, it is determined that Morimoto does not constitute an infringement of public property."

As if there was a "pop", the high wall built by the prosecutor broke in an instant, as if tiles fell from it.

"Second, arbitrage is not the same as corruption." Beiyuan's voice continued, "Just now the prosecutor also mentioned that Kyoto University will conduct training for scientific researchers on the use of public funds."

Bei Yuan took out an extremely thick booklet, about the same as a general dictionary, and said, "Chief referee, this thick booklet in my hand is the regulations on the use of scientific research funds. In fact, these rules are lengthy and cumbersome. If the reimbursement of funds is carried out according to the formal process, it is basically impossible to realize the normal operation of the project.

"For example, Chapter 3, No. 20 in this booklet stipulates that each scientific research project must first report a budget before proceeding. If it exceeds the budget, it will not be reimbursed."

"How can this kind of regulation be truly implemented? The things studied by scientific research are unknown, and the results of experiments are uncertain. How can the funding required for a project be determined at the beginning, and no one is allowed? What about changes? Such a fund use process is extremely unreasonable.”

"It can also be seen from the previous audit report on scientific research funds issued by the Accounting Inspection Institute of Kyoto University. There are irregularities in the use of funds for many scientific research projects. The root cause of these violations lies in the cumbersome and complicated process of using funds , unable to meet the actual needs of research. Therefore, even if there is a violation of relevant financial regulations, as long as the final funds are still actually invested in scientific research, it should not be considered as corruption.”

"In this case, the same is true of Morimoto's so-called arbitrage. Arbitration cannot be equated with corruption. Among the evidence in the case, there is no audit report issued by a qualified judicial appraisal agency."

"If you want to determine that Morimoto has committed corruption, you should conduct a comprehensive audit of the funds involved in the case. If the funds were stolen from scientific research project A, they were only misappropriated from scientific research project A to scientific research project B. From production and research enterprise A to production and research enterprise B. For This kind of money extortion that does not exceed the purpose of scientific research should not be considered as corruption."

"Third, the luxury goods searched at the production and research enterprise in this case cannot be used as evidence that Morimoto used scientific research funds for consumption and enjoyment. The various luxury consumer goods searched at the office of the production and research enterprise cannot be ruled out as belonging to the company's assets. They are not personal consumer goods. Morimoto himself does not like music or photography, but the luxury goods seized at the scene are all high-end audio and high-end cameras. And the business suits seized do not match the height of Mori himself. All the above evidence is self-contradictory All these indicate that it is doubtful whether the luxury goods obtained by the search of the production and research enterprises belong to the luxury goods owned by Morimoto himself.”

"Fourth, Morimoto did not fabricate any contract in this case. The defender has shown to the court that due to uncertainties in scientific research experiments, it is wrong to change the mechanical model and parts and components determined in the contract when the contract is actually performed. It's very normal. However, the prosecutor's office ignores the actual situation of scientific research, and directly determines that Morimoto fabricated the contract because of some inconsistencies in the details of the contract performance. This is absurd and absurd."

Beiyuan took a step forward and raised his voice and said, "Even though there are so many doubts in the evidence in this case, the prosecutor's office still insists on transferring the case for prosecution. This has caused innocent people to be imprisoned. As a newcomer to the team, Morimoto A researcher who is less than two years old must be at the mercy of others in handling the affairs of the production and research enterprise. However, the prosecutor's office ignores all the details and is eager to convict. Do you want to cover up the real criminal behind the scenes!"
