Chapter 755: Dragon-like Reversal
Chapter 755: Dragon-like Reversal (10)
Chief Prosecutor Iwai Sayoko, who was standing at the prosecutor's seat, did not seem satisfied with Yuya Kazami's answer.
Although the prosecutor of the Ministry of Public Security fully cooperated with the Japanese Public Security Bureau in its actions, she still had the idea and ability to express her own opinions in the courtroom on some sensitive situations that would not involve teaching the Japanese Public Security Bureau how to do things.
Iwai Sayoko, sitting at the prosecutor's seat, tapped the table lightly with a serious look in her eyes.
Although the sound of slamming the table was not loud, it was enough to attract the attention of everyone in the courtroom, making himself temporarily the focus of the First Courtroom. Even Utsunomiya, who decided to tell the truth after withstanding the pressure, stopped talking.
Xiang Yuanguang put the coffee cup that was next to his mouth down again.
He frowned slightly and stared at Iwai Sayoko standing in the prosecutor's seat, wondering what Iwai Sayoko would say next to raise [objection] - no matter how he thought about it, there should be only one possibility.
In his hometown in his previous life, prosecutors had a very effective method to deal with lawyers.
That is, in the trial of criminal cases or public cases, accusing the defense lawyer of colluding with the witnesses and fabricating testimony, and when Feng Jianyu did not open his mouth to give a clear answer, even if it was to Yuan Guang himself...
Under normal circumstances, the way he is now does make it possible for this situation to exist, even he himself admits it.
————But in reality, this is impossible to happen in this trial.
Xiang Yuanguang's finger gently touched his forehead.
If Iwai Sayoko really starts from this direction and tries to criticize him, then Iwai Sayoko's decision would be a big mistake, and it would also lower Iwai Sayoko's impression in the eyes of the presiding judge.
So, what decision will Sayoko Iwai make?
The answer is obvious, there is only one.
"The prosecutor raised an objection because there is a special relationship between the defense lawyer and the defendant. Even if the so-called conversation in the lounge really existed, Officer Kazami really heard the testimony..."
"I also believe that the defendant Naoji Utsunomiya's testimony has no credibility at all."
Iwai Sayoko, who was standing at the prosecutor's seat, said this calmly and affirmatively.
Hearing this, Yuya Kazami, who was standing next to the testimony stand, was a little surprised.
He did not expect that the chief prosecutor would actually take this approach because he was worried that if he suddenly admitted the authenticity of the conversation in the lounge, it would directly affect her, the chief prosecutor, her right to speak in this trial.
So before the issue gets any further than that, let's get this out of the way and get around it?
"Prosecutor Iwai, are you saying that Attorney Mugen colluded with the defendant?"
Hearing this, the blond judge in the main seat showed some surprise.
If Sayoko Iwai hadn't mentioned this matter, he would not have thought of this possibility for a while, but now that Sayoko Iwai has brought it up, he has to think about the authenticity of this possibility.
————The answer is very likely.
After all, it is not realistic that the conflict between the defense lawyer and the defendant would escalate in a short period of time to the point where they confronted each other in court, or even to the point where the defendant accused the defense lawyer of perjury.
The blond judge stroked his blond beard.
Although he did not think that a legendary lawyer with such a great reputation as Genko Xiang would do something as unscrupulous as Kensuke Kumimoto, he could not side with Genko Xiang in public now.
So, the blond judge coughed and then said, "The prosecutor's opinion is somewhat credible."
"Lawyer Xiang Yuan, as far as the court knows, before the meeting in the lounge, the defense lawyer has the freedom to go to the detention center to meet with the defendant in court and exchange information about the case, and the bailiffs in the detention center will not keep any records of the information..."
"Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that you discussed this situation with the defendant in advance in the detention center."
"Then there is the possibility of openly performing in court, guiding public opinion, and controlling the direction of the court. So, Lawyer Xiang Yuan, do you have any defense for this?"
The presiding judge's voice sparked discussion in the courtroom.
Everyone's attention turned from Iwai Sayoko back to Mukai Genmitsu.
Although most of them do not understand the legal process and have never been defendants in a case, they still know whether the defense lawyer has met with the client in the detention center before the trial begins.
The defense lawyer and the client will meet at least once in the detention center, because the power of attorney needs to be signed and confirmed in person.
In other words, after Iwai Sayoko raised this possibility, it would be impossible for Genmitsu Xiang to make the testimonies of the three defendants credible no matter what he did. After all, no matter what he did, it could be collusion.
With the ability of the legendary lawyer Xiang Yuanguang, there is definitely a way to create false evidence that cannot be discovered by anyone.
However, just as everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiang Yuanguang in the defense seat, the atmosphere was tense and suppressed to the extreme, as if it could explode at any time, but Xiang Yuanguang in the defense seat still looked relaxed and contented.
Even Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was standing next to Xiang Yuanguang and had a serious expression just now, relaxed at this moment.
————This issue would be extremely difficult to resolve in any court trial that relies on the defendant's testimony, but the trial of this case is completely different.
"Your Excellency, I must clarify a fact to you."
Xiang Yuanguang took a sip of coffee and then said affirmatively.
"I returned to Tokyo the day before yesterday after finishing the lawsuit in Shizuoka Prefecture. I only accepted the commission last night. At that time, the detention center no longer allowed defense lawyers to visit their clients, so..."
"What Prosecutor Iwai said was actually nonsense from the beginning."
"Before the rest room this morning, there was no possibility that I and the three defendants would pass on any intelligence information about collusion in any form, because even the letter of authorization was handed over by members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau after inspection."
The hedgehog-haired lawyer was looking at Iwai Sayoko who was standing at the prosecutor's seat.
The chief prosecutor who holds a high position in the Public Security Department of the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office had already revealed a look of astonishment at this moment, as if he had never expected that a legendary lawyer like Xiang Yuanguang would actually make such a low-level mistake————
Even the most incompetent lawyer would not choose to accept a case when the detention center is closed, right?
Could it be that Xiang Yuanguang is so confident in his ability to defend his clients that he believes he can solve the case no matter what kind of evildoers his clients are or how the case unfolds?
So do you just give up communicating with your client and go straight to preparing for the trial?
"…We have to admit that what Attorney Xiang Yuan said was the truth."
Yuya Kazami, who was standing next to the testimony stand, sighed and shook his head, saying helplessly.
"The letter of authorization was indeed delivered by the public security department. Attorney Xiang Yuan and the client met for the first time in the lounge this morning. Apart from that, there is no evidence to prove that they had communicated or even knew each other."
