Chapter 516 Hopeless

Chapter 516 No Hope

"The defendant will continue to present the evidence to prove that he deprived the plaintiff of his doctorate degree." Judge Kawada looked down at the trial seat and announced.

The court's evidence stage is about to enter the determination of whether Mikiko's paper is suspected of plagiarism. The observers present unconsciously held their breath and stared at the lawyers on both sides. The reporters in the back row were even more prepared to report the most immediate news here.

The information is passed on.

Takezawa and Asakura Yan next to him immediately looked at each other. It was obvious that this senior female lawyer had come prepared today. Today's evidence session would be an occasion to completely crush the other party to death. Takezawa smiled slightly

He smiled, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of being sentenced to death.

Seeing Takezawa's appearance, Miyagawa couldn't help but feel nervous again. She didn't know what kind of evidence the other party could produce. What kind of obstacles the other party would set up in this already difficult lawsuit.

Miyagawa held the pen's hand and squeezed it hard to relieve the tension.

The next second, Takezawa puffed up his chest and said with a confident confidence, "The defendant's attorney now presents the fourth set of evidence. The first piece of evidence is the emails exchanged between Kyoto University and the journal that published the plagiarized paper involved. Chapter 1

The second piece of evidence is the emails exchanged between the Academic Committee of Kyoto University and the professor of the Department of Life Sciences. The third piece of evidence is the mail exchange between the Kyoto University Degree Evaluation Committee and the Academic Committee. The fourth piece of evidence is the decision of the Degree Evaluation Committee to initiate investigation procedures regarding Mikiko’s plagiarism incident.

Documents. The fifth piece of evidence, the list of expert groups involved in the investigation by the Degree Evaluation Committee, has been anonymized. The fifth piece of evidence, the campus emails between the expert group and Mikiko.”

"The above evidence proves that after the alleged plagiarism of Mikiko's paper, the relevant paper journals sent reports to the university about the misconduct in the paper. Immediately, the Academic Committee of Kyoto University asked the Department of Life Sciences about the situation in an email. Among them, Professor Muraki of the Department of Life Sciences

, Professor Aihara and others made a preliminary report on the incident to the academic committee. The above-mentioned two professors of the Department of Life Sciences believed in the email that the possibility of Mikiko's paper involved in the case constituted plagiarism and fraud was extremely high, and the relevant paper was published during her time in school.

It may involve degree revocation, and it is recommended that the university initiate formal investigation procedures."

Zhuzawa's voice was smooth but powerful as he told the whole story of the incident to everyone in the court.

Only her voice could be heard continuing: "After receiving the preliminary feedback from the Department of Life Sciences, the Academic Committee of Kyoto University, in accordance with the school's regulations, immediately sent a letter to the school's degree evaluation committee to report the matter. Subsequently, the degree evaluation committee responded to the academic committee

The committee, after its internal evaluation, found that the two papers involved in the case were the research results of Mikiko's application for a doctoral degree, and the degree evaluation committee needs to intervene in the investigation and establish a joint expert group."

"Subsequently, the Degree Evaluation Committee issued a notice to the Academic Committee and the Department of Life Sciences to initiate the investigation process into Mikiko's plagiarism incident and set up an expert group to investigate. The expert group included a total of 30 professors to evaluate the papers involved. The expert group

Send an email to Mikiko to inform her that the university has initiated an investigation process and require the plaintiff to provide corresponding materials and cooperate with the investigation."

Beiyuan listened to Zhuzawa's words and was already making silent calculations in his heart.

Before this court session, Professor Yuezhi had already provided him with information.

According to Ochi's intelligence, the expert group actually had quite different opinions on whether Mikiko constituted plagiarism. In the end, when the collective vote was made on whether Mikiko constituted serious academic misconduct and needed to have her degree revoked, the decision was actually only based on

With an extremely slim majority, votes are cast.

It can be seen that there are large differences within the expert group on whether Mikiko constitutes serious academic misconduct. Then the question arises, how will the university provide evidence next? If Kyoto University really objectively discloses the voting decision of the expert group

, that would be detrimental to the university.

How will Asakura Yan and Takezawa behave?

Beiyuan raised his head and glanced at Miyagawa.

Miyagawa immediately understood, stood up, and said: "Chief referee. Among the evidence presented by the defendant, the list of expert groups has been anonymized, and it is impossible to identify who specifically participated in the investigation. Whether their number reaches that of the defendant's attorney

The so-called thirty people are questionable. The plaintiff requested the collegial panel to instruct the defendant to submit the expert group’s internal discussion and decision-making on Mikiko’s paper in order to determine whether the expert group was justified in determining that Mikiko’s paper constituted plagiarism.”

When Takezawa heard Miyagawa's words, he just smiled disdainfully and replied: "Chief referee. The reason why the defendant anonymized the list is to protect the personal information of the expert panel members from being leaked to avoid influence.

The fairness of the expert panel’s exercise of its powers. As for whether the expert panel has sufficient grounds to conclude that Mikiko’s paper constitutes plagiarism, as long as the defendant’s attorney presents the fifth set of evidence, the issue will naturally become clear to the world.”

The next second, Takezawa took a step forward and said, "The defendant now presents the fifth set of evidence. The first piece of evidence is the emails exchanged between the expert group and Mikiko. The second piece of evidence is the work log of the expert group. The third piece of evidence is the email sent by Mikiko to

"Reflection" submitted by the expert group."

The three words "Reflection" echoed in the courtroom.

Zhuze's voice was not loud, but it was unusually clear.

Inspection... indictment?! When Miyagawa heard this word, she suddenly panicked. Before, when she met Mikiko, she never mentioned that she had submitted any indictment to the academy. Mikiko had not

Tell them the complete story of the incident? In legal practice, the parties may intentionally or unintentionally omit part of the facts when they tell their clients. At this time, lawyers must pay particular attention.

The smile on Takezawa's face grew stronger, and she raised her voice: "The fifth set of evidence proves that after the expert group was established, it immediately started an interview with the plaintiff Mikiko. According to the work log, the expert group sent five professors today

On the afternoon of November 8, 2017, I had a face-to-face communication with Mikiko in the administrative conference room of the Department of Life Sciences to understand the situation. According to the work log, the conversation lasted for 3 hours. Mikiko mainly explained to the expert group the writing process of the paper involved in the case.

.The expert group professors educated and admonished Mikiko.”

"After the conversation, Mikiko submitted a "Reflection" to the Department of Life Sciences in the Faculty of Science building at 9:10 that night."

Zhuzawa held a piece of A4 paper in his hand and showed it to everyone in the court, but saw that it was handwritten with a black ink pen. Zhuzawa raised his hand and tapped a few lines in the middle of the complaint, "Chief Referee"

After Mikiko was admonished by the expert group, she deeply realized her mistake, so she submitted a "Reflection" to the Department of Life Sciences. The "Reflection" stated: "I, Mikiko Tamai, acknowledge that today's experts

The two papers investigated by the group were plagiarized and plagiarized from other people's work, which is serious academic misconduct. For this, I sincerely apologize to the Department of Life Sciences."

The senior female administrative lawyer turned around and looked at the trial seat. "The chief judge, the plaintiff Mikiko, has submitted a "Reflection Letter" to the university. In the "Reflection Letter", the plaintiff has admitted that its two papers constituted infringement of other people's academic works.

Plagiarism and plagiarism. In this regard, the plaintiff’s attorney just now questioned the expert panel’s finding that Mikiko’s paper constituted plagiarism without any basis, which is extremely ridiculous.”

"Then I would like to ask the plaintiff's attorney a question here. The plaintiff, Ms. Tamai Mikiko, has already admitted that her work was plagiarized and plagiarized. Do you still want to deny the client's own confession?" Takezawa's voice echoed in the court.

Accompanied by a faint sneer.

During this evidentiary session, Kyoto University directly produced a handwritten letter of apology submitted by Mikiko.

Moreover, this memorandum also admitted that she had plagiarized.

How on earth will this lawsuit be fought?

What is in front of Beiyuan seems to be a vast desert. Everywhere you look, there is a hopeless road without any life...
