Misumi's eyes couldn't help but feel slightly moist when she looked at this scene in the courtroom. Her eyes couldn't help but keep staring at the familiar face of the male lawyer in the defense table. The almost heart-stopping confrontations along the way in the trial, and then At the moment when the dust of the final verdict fell to the ground, Misumi couldn't help but become excited.

For some reason, a strange feeling arose in Misheng's heart.

At this moment, she seemed to be back in college.

Back to the days before graduation.

Suddenly, the time she and Kitahara ate in the campus cafeteria, walked together, and studied together seemed like yesterday. The reason why Misumi came to Kyoto was because she had witnessed a murder directly in front of the mourning hall. The lingering nightmare has tortured her mental state every moment for this period of time.

However, right now, for some reason, she felt at ease.

Just seeing that figure made me feel at ease.

Misheng unconsciously raised his hand and touched it forward, as if he wanted to touch the face of the person he missed. Although there was about twenty steps between them, separated by the wooden fence of the courtroom.

In front of the defense table.

Everyone was talking and laughing. Morimoto's face was already red and he was full of energy again. He waved his hand and said, "Lawyer Kitahara, I will go to the detention center to retrieve my personal belongings first. In the evening, my wife and I will meet I want to treat you to a nice meal. Lawyer Kitahara can choose any restaurant in Kyoto!"

"Okay. Then I'm really welcome." Beiyuan said with a smile.

Immediately, Morimoto and Ishimura held hands with each other and followed the bailiff into the side door of the court, which led to the underground garage of the court. They could take an official car back to the detention center and retrieve their belongings.

Kitahara began to pack up the materials on the table, and this fierce battle was finally over. From the time he took over the case, he reviewed the papers and met with him in less than a week. At the same time, he held multiple court sessions in a very short period of time, facing the prosecutor's office's pressure. Extreme pressure. Now, even Kitahara has to feel mentally tired.

As he was placing his briefcase on the table, suddenly, a shadow covered the materials on the table.

Beiyuan frowned and then raised his head.

But Yanyong didn't know when he stood in front of the defense table. The shocked expression he showed when he heard the not guilty verdict had disappeared and returned to his stern face. This veteran The prosecutor said coldly: "Don't think you won just like this."

"It's not what I think, it's what the court thinks." Beihara smiled contemptuously and continued to pack things on the table.

"You know very well the true meaning of the court's verdict." Iwanaga stared at the lawyer in front of him, "Today's so-called 'acquittal' is just a not guilty verdict with unclear facts. We can make a comeback at any time."

[Not guilty verdict based on unclear facts]

[This kind of not guilty verdict is not an absolute innocent verdict. It is just because there is insufficient evidence to prove that the defendant has committed a crime. The court can neither find out that the defendant is guilty nor confirm that the defendant is innocent, so it can only rely on suspicion. Acquittal is acquitted based on the principle of non-existence. This is an acquittal judgment based on unclear facts]

"As long as our prosecutor's office has new evidence, we can prosecute Morimoto again at any time. So, don't think that today's matter ends here." Iwanaga's tone contained a warning. There is no doubt that,

Even a not guilty verdict based on unclear facts has greatly damaged the face of the prosecutor's office.

For the prosecutor's office, which has always had a tough style, it will definitely find all possible means to make up for the lost face.

"In this case, please go back again and investigate slowly. After you really find new evidence, I will accompany you again. If something goes wrong if we do it again, then we don't know what's going on outside.

How can you comment on the level of the Kyoto District Prosecutor's Office?" Kitahara shrugged and said with a cynical expression.

"You!" Iwanaga just wanted to yell back, but then he thought that such a verbal spat was meaningless, so he just said with a sullen face, "We will come back again."

Immediately, Iwanaga turned around and looked at Chigako beside him and said, "Let's go!"

Footsteps sounded, and the two prosecutors wearing autumn frost and blazing sun badges disappeared from the courtroom.

Miyagawa, who was next to her, heard the conversation between them. Her smiling expression just now suddenly stiffened a bit, and her mood seemed to take a turn for the worse. She couldn't help but ask: "Kitahara, are they really going to file another prosecution?

"

"Legally, the prosecutor's office does have this power." Kitahara replied, looking at the file materials in his hand.

Everything is over, but it seems like it's not over yet.

Morimoto did receive a not guilty verdict.

However, the reason for this not guilty verdict was that the facts were unclear.

After the prosecutor's office obtains new evidence, it can re-initiate a public prosecution.

The mine did not explode, but it was permanently buried on the beach.

You don't know at what moment you step on the soft sea sand, which will cause a fatal explosion.

Kitahara looked at Miyagawa next to him, "Although the court made a not guilty verdict, in a sense, it just kicked the ball back again. This case has been going on for almost two years, and finally everything started over. It

If the door is not closed, it may even leave more questions."

"Leave more questions?" Miyagawa couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, "What's going on? Why do you say that?"

"The reason is very simple." Beitahara looked at the empty judge's bench in the court. "First of all, the judge who was able to make a not guilty verdict in this case must have withstood great pressure, especially in the court.

The judicial committee has intervened. There is no doubt that there must be a fierce debate between Judge Zuo Kuma and the judicial committee."

"As long as there is a debate, there will inevitably be a compromise. The trial committee will compromise, and Judge Zuo Jiuma will also compromise. We can see that there are actually large paragraphs in the judgment that appear to be responses to the defense opinions, but they are

In essence, it is a response to the public prosecution opinions. These responses may not be the response of Judge Zuo Jiuma, but may be the response of the judicial committee. Through the reasoning of judgments on these focus issues, the tribunal’s judgment standards are conveyed to the public prosecution agency from the side.”

Kitahara continued, "For example, the court recognized the view that even if public funds are mixed with private funds, it is corruption. Although the Kyoto District Prosecutor's Office lost the case in terms of results, they have since known the court's

Judgment point of view on this issue. It is obvious that the reasoning in the judgment agrees with the prosecution opinions of the vast majority of public prosecutors. Therefore, to a certain extent, the tribunal and the prosecutor’s office have reached an agreement.”

"If the prosecutor's office really discovers new evidence," Kitahara said, "then Morimoto will really be doomed."

Kitahara turned to look at the public prosecutor's seat opposite, "To re-convict Morimoto, we need new evidence. And if we need new evidence, we must expand the scope of the search. And once the scope of the search is expanded, the prosecutor's office will discover hidden secrets in the industrial and research enterprises.

There’s no telling how many interesting things there are.”
