Chapter 752: Dragon-like Reversal
Chapter 752: Dragon-like Reversal (7)
"Since the defendant has made such a statement, the court cannot unilaterally believe whether what Mr. Xiang Yuan said is true or not... Mr. Xiang Yuan, may I ask if you need the defendant Utsunomiya Naoji to come to the witness stand and give his testimony?"
The blond chief judge standing at the main seat in the courtroom was also surprised by the situation before him.
Generally speaking, it is rare for defendants and defense lawyers to disagree and have a big argument in court. Faced with such disputes, he thinks it is better to let the defense lawyer and the defendant resolve it themselves.
Upon hearing this, Chief Prosecutor Iwai Sayoko said nothing, but just knocked on the table.
"The prosecutor believes that this is unnecessary. After all, what was said in the lounge was just the defense lawyer's one-sided statement. Now even the defendant says that it was fabricated testimony by the defense lawyer."
"Well, there's no point in pursuing this now."
Iwai Sayoko's voice was calm.
In fact, she had seen many such situations when she was an ordinary prosecutor.
After all, the Japanese Public Security Bureau is, after all, a type of secret service agency, so it is normal for them to use memory recovery techniques when they are in doubt. Although now that the case is to be tried in public, the Japanese Public Security Bureau does not seem to have used this method.
But so what? After all, it is in the prosecutor's favor that the defendant changes his testimony against the defense lawyer in court.
If the always eloquent and even skilled in all kinds of magic that cannot be explained by science, Mitsuru Mugen, were allowed to take action, perhaps the defendant Naoji Utsunomiya would be defeated by Mitsuru Mugen and change his testimony?
"The direction of this trial is very clear."
"The prosecutors are asking the presiding judge to issue a guilty verdict now and approve the arrest request of the Japanese public security against the senior officials of the Tojo Clan to ensure that the trial result of this incident is fair, just and open to the public."
————Whether it is truly fair, just and open is not important. What is important is to satisfy the public.
Japanese public security rarely takes public action. If they investigate something publicly, it often means that the person they are investigating has proven to be guilty, or they want to ensure that no negative information will be revealed about that person.
The same is true for dealing with the top leaders of the Dongcheng Society through public trials. It is nothing more than a means of public opinion.
"That's it..."
The presiding judge, who was originally considering whether to allow the defendant Utsunomiya Naoji to stand as a witness, now hesitated.
This may be a distinctive feature of their series of presiding judges. After all, the presiding judges of the current legal system do not need to be the type with clear, firm and consistent opinions. Otherwise, it will become a game of mahjong between the prosecutor, the presiding judge and the police department.
Making lawyers complete outsiders, fillers, and insignificant characters.
Just as the blond presiding judge was hesitating, Yuya Kazami, who was standing behind the testimony desk, was also thinking.
If he had directly said that the defendant had not mentioned these things in the lounge, the final trial result of this case would probably have been determined. However, he was not willing to say such a statement that was obviously contrary to the facts...
Yuya Kazami still did not intend to make his opinion clear at this time.
He did not intend to give a description at this time that the defendant did mention such testimony in the lounge, but he would not deliberately put forward a description that the defendant did not make such testimony in the lounge.
Although Japanese public security officers often answer judgment questions in court, they can now choose [OR].
"Officer Kazami looks like he's planning on keeping quiet for now."
"That's right. After all, the interests of prosecutors and the Japanese Public Security Bureau are the same. Now that Iwai Sayoko, the chief prosecutor, has made it clear, Officer Kazami obviously cannot give a contradictory answer at this time."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was standing next to Genkou, took off her headphones and put them aside. However, no music came out of the headphones.
She wore headphones. Sometimes she was listening to music when she was bored, but more often she just wore headphones to block out most of the outside noise so that she could calm down and think seriously.
As a former high school detective, Nanatsuki Koshimizu knew very well that it was time to attack.
"Xiang Yuan..."
No expired high school detective reminders needed.
Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers, attracting the attention of everyone present, including the chief prosecutor Iwai Sayoko, who was now standing in the prosecutor's seat, intending to make a quick decision and not give Xiang Yuanguang a chance to perform.
The hedgehog-haired lawyer gently pinched his chin with his fingers and then spoke.
"I don't think so, because the point of a public trial is to make everything public, right?"
"Just now, the Japanese Public Security Officer Kazami did not say from beginning to end which of the Tojo Clan's top leaders they wanted to arrest. So, can I assume that it is because they don't know who they want to arrest?"
His words caused an uproar in the courtroom's gallery.
Mukai Genmitsu held the coffee in one hand and put the other hand in the pocket of his blue coat. He calmly looked at Chief Prosecutor Iwai Sayoko who was standing in the prosecutor's seat, and continued speaking.
"The defendant just said that he didn't know which senior executive of the East City Association supported him. I fabricated false evidence. If the facts were reversed, it would mean that the defendant knew exactly which senior executive it was."
"Well, now, can we ask the defendant to testify and make it clear who this person is?"
The hedgehog-haired lawyer's voice made Iwai Sayoko narrow her eyes.
At this moment, many listeners in the audience looked at each other, talked to each other, and wondered whether there was any logical problem in what Xiang Yuanguang said, and whether there was any reason for what he said.
————Since the Japanese police want to arrest the top leaders of the Tojo Clan, they must have evidence and know who to arrest.
However, the Japanese public security officer in charge never revealed the name of the high-ranking Dongcheng Clan member they wanted to arrest. It is hard not to wonder if the Japanese public security officers were just speaking in clichés, just like in previous investigations.
By then, big things will become small, and small things will be nothing. They will just be erased and no one will mention them.
This is not the first time that Japanese police have done something like this.
For the Japanese Public Security Bureau, which is known as the secret police and has an extremely bad reputation, it is not surprising at all that the many audience members in the courtroom's gallery put forward as many conspiracy theories as possible.
After all, Japanese police do do such things.
"..."
Yuya Kazami had his hands behind his back and his eyes were serious.
The Japanese police did not know which specific Dongcheng Hui high-ranking official they wanted to arrest. Therefore, their goal was actually to wipe out the entire Dongcheng Hui high-ranking official at one time. Naturally, it was impossible for them to clearly fabricate the name of a specific Dongcheng Hui high-ranking official.
Now that this question has been raised to Yuan Guang...it seems that they have to come and make it clear.
