In the courtroom, Prosecutor Iwanaga was like a glaring Arhat, with an irresistible magic power in his words, just like the huge Buddha statue standing solemnly in the temple, making all the guilty people cry bitterly, kneel down, and

Worship.

The senior prosecutor's prosecution opinions not only formed an airtight net, but also provided a powerful refutation of the arguments previously raised by the defense lawyer in the court investigation. In just a moment,

This will correct Chigako's disadvantage in the court investigation stage.

Sure enough... the prosecutor opposite is still very powerful... many listeners in the gallery thought so. During the previous court investigation stage, many citizens were even really impressed by the young male lawyer and felt that Morimoto was innocent.

. However, now, after Iwanaga read the prosecution opinion, in an instant, they woke up from a dream and realized that they had almost stepped into the bewitchment of the defendant's lawyer.

At this moment, Misumi and Ishimura were sitting together in the seats outside the wooden railing in the courtroom.

Because Ishimura felt unwell during the first court hearing, Misumi also accompanied Ishimura here this time.

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

Made her heart skip a beat.

Misumi's eyes fell on the defense table. She could no longer imagine that Kitahara...Kitahara had always been... facing such a fierce confrontation in court. And such a fierce confrontation was just that

A part of a man's daily life. Thinking of this, the beautiful forensic doctor couldn't help but take a breath.

Beihara sat at the defense table, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The more ferocious the attack, the more interested he will be aroused.

The more corpses litter the battlefield, the more it can arouse his spirit.

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

Only the imminent danger can arouse his sense of existence in this world.

Beiyuan stood up, walked to the seat, and said:

"Head referee."

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

"

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

The lawyer still insisted on a not guilty plea.

Go against the prosecutor's office.

"First, in this case, there is doubt whether the funds of industrial and research enterprises are public funds." Kitahara took out one report after another from the defense table behind him, "The five involved companies accused by the prosecutor's office

Eucalyptus Enterprises, Asai Machine Tool Co., Ltd., Kurahashi Electronic Instrument Co., Ltd., Joint Research Institute of Engineering, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering, Adachi Information Technology Co., Ltd., Kumada Tachimoto Machinery Co., Ltd., etc."

"In addition to receiving scientific research funds from universities, these five clubs also have external business operations. The income from their business operations and scientific research funds are all stored in the same account, and are mixed with each other and not managed separately. It is also

That is to say, it is actually impossible to distinguish whether the funds on 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 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 it is impossible to distinguish between the two, the case should be cleared beyond a doubt.

According to the principle, it is determined that Morimoto does not constitute an infringement of public property according to law."

There was a "pop" sound, and the high wall built by the prosecutor broke in an instant, as if tiles fell from the top.

"Second, extortion is not equivalent to corruption." Kitahara's voice continued, "The prosecutor also mentioned just now that Kyoto University will provide training for scientific researchers on the use of public funds."

Beihara took out an extremely thick book, which was about the same as an ordinary dictionary, and said: "Chief Referee, this thick book in my hand contains regulations on the use of scientific research funds. In fact, these rules are long and cumbersome.

If funds are reimbursed according to formal procedures, it is basically impossible to achieve normal operation of the project.

"For example, Chapter 3, Chapter 29 of this booklet stipulates that before each scientific research project can be carried out, a budget must be reported. If the budget exceeds the budget, no reimbursement will be made."

"How can this kind of regulation be really implemented? What is studied in scientific research is unknown, and the results of experiments are uncertain. How can the funds required for a project have been decided at the beginning? There is no room for any

What about changes? This funding usage process is extremely unreasonable.”

"It can also be seen from the previous scientific research fund audit report issued by the Accounting Inspection Service on Kyoto University that there are irregularities in the use of funds for many scientific research projects. The fundamental reason for these irregularities lies in the cumbersome and complicated fund use process.

, cannot meet the actual needs of research. Therefore, even if there is a violation of relevant financial regulations, as long as the final funds are actually invested in scientific research, it should not be considered corruption."

"The same is true for Morimoto's so-called fraud in this case. Fraud cannot be equated with corruption. Among the evidence, there is no audit report issued by a qualified forensic institution."

"If Morimoto is to be found to have committed corruption, a comprehensive audit of the funds involved should be carried out. If the funds were misappropriated from scientific research project A to scientific research project B, and transferred from industrial research enterprise A to industrial research enterprise B.

This type of evasion of funds that does not exceed the purpose of scientific research should not be considered corruption."

"Third, the luxury goods obtained through searches at industrial and research enterprises cannot be used as evidence that Morimoto used scientific research funds for consumption and enjoyment. Searching at the offices of industrial and research enterprises and obtaining various types of luxury consumer goods cannot exclude the fact that they are company assets.

, rather than personal consumer goods. Morimoto himself does not like music and has no hobby of photography. However, the luxury goods seized at the scene were all high-end speakers and high-end cameras. Moreover, the seized business suits were not consistent with Morimoto's height. The above evidence is contradictory.

All of them indicate that there is doubt whether the luxury goods obtained through the search by the Industrial and Research Enterprise Office are owned by Morimoto personally.”

"Fourth, Morimoto did not fabricate any contract in this article. The defender has stated to the court that due to uncertainties in scientific research experiments, when the contract is actually performed, the mechanical model, parts shape, etc. determined in the contract will be changed.

It is very normal. However, the prosecutor's office ignored the actual status of scientific research and directly concluded that Morimoto made up the contract based on some inconsistencies in some details during the performance of the contract. This is absurd and ridiculous."

Kitahara took a step forward and raised his voice: "When there are so many doubts about the evidence of this case, the prosecutor's office still insists on going its own way and transfers this case for prosecution. This makes innocent people suffer the consequences of imprisonment. As a newcomer, Morimoto
