After the words fell, Imani turned around and pulled out a large whiteboard from the defendant's dock. The large whiteboard was placed on a stand with rollers. The rollers rotated and made a "squeaking, squeaking" sound, and the entire whiteboard immediately

He was easily pulled to the defendant's seat, which was in perfect contrast to the TV screen in the plaintiff's seat opposite.

On the left side of the large whiteboard is an aerial view of the G227 highway where the accident occurred.

The winding road is simplified into a C-shaped figure.

On the bird's eye view, a red dot is marked below, and a blue dot is marked above.

"Chief referee, please allow me to explain this picture." Imanishi fastened the first button of his suit, adjusted his collar, turned around, and pointed to the bird's eye view on the whiteboard: "This red dot is

The plaintiff Terai was able to see the position of the iron block on the road when he was in the car, and this blue dot is the position of the iron block on the road section where the incident occurred."

"So how far are these two points apart?" Imanishi turned around, facing the court, pointing to a number on the whiteboard, "These two points are separated by a full 687 meters. From what the plaintiff just provided

From the video, we can clearly see that the weather was clear on the day of the incident and the line of sight was clear, and the plaintiff had already found the iron piece more than 600 meters away."

"What is the concept of more than six hundred meters?" Imanishi walked to the right side of the whiteboard, held the bracket below with his hand, and gently rotated the whiteboard so that the judge on the trial bench could see more clearly what was on the right side of the whiteboard.

content.

There is a table posted on the right side of the whiteboard, divided into upper and lower columns.

The top column says the speed of the vehicle.

The lower column says braking distance.

Right above the form is a title with a few words printed on it - vehicle speed-braking distance comparison table.

"Chief referee, please let us take a look at the speed-braking distance comparison table. In driving, there has always been a rule called the one-thousandth rule. That is, the safe distance for driving is one-thousandth of the speed. Let us

Let’s take a look at this comparison chart.”

Imanishi told the story in an orderly manner: "When the vehicle speed is 50 kilometers per hour, the required braking distance is about 7.62 meters. When the vehicle speed is 90 kilometers per hour, the required braking distance is

24.1 meters. When the vehicle speed is 120 kilometers, the distance is 70.9 meters."

"The minimum speed limit of the highway involved is 80 kilometers and the maximum speed limit is 120 kilometers. Even if we take the maximum speed of 120 kilometers, the braking distance is only 70.9 meters. If we add the reaction time, then the braking distance

The distance is only 105 meters.”

Imanishi emphasized "105 meters", and then walked to the right side of the whiteboard, "Chief referee, we can see very clearly that the plaintiff Terai should have discovered the presence of iron blocks on the road from the iron block 687 meters away.

687 meters, which is more than six times the safe braking distance!!!”

“However, the plaintiff still did not take any braking action even after the standard braking distance was six times greater. Instead, he did not start to change lanes in a hurry until he was about to hit the iron block. It is obvious that the plaintiff Terai’s driving behavior was

Something unusual.”

As soon as the words fell, the court situation was reversed in an instant.

The sympathy for Terai aroused in the courtroom by the dash cam video just now was immediately shattered. In the gallery, the Kawamoto Expressway's legal team relaxed their anxious expressions and smiled.

This is the courtroom style of a senior lawyer.

Miyagawa took a pen and quickly wrote down the key points of her father's discussion. Then she glanced to the side and glanced at Kitahara beside her. In the last trial, Kitahara was relied on to support herself independently. In this trial, she

...She must also help Beihara. Miyagawa bit her lower lip.

I am a lawyer myself.

At this moment, I must fight for the interests of my client.

Never retreat.

Miyagawa stood up from the plaintiff's table and looked at Imanishi across from him, his eyes showing a firm and fearless look.

This was the first time in more than ten years that Miyagawa dared to look directly into her father's eyes.

Only you can break your own nightmare.

Above the court.

Father and daughter face each other.

Kawamoto Expressway's legal team didn't know much about the fact that the female lawyer at the plaintiff's seat was Imanishi's daughter. However, the middle- and senior-level lawyers at Imanishi Law Firm next to them had already shown their colorful expressions.

They never thought that one day their boss's daughter would voluntarily give up her good, high-paying job to join a poor boy, and that she was still in court today, standing against her father.

Miyagawa adjusted his nervous mood, and gradually relaxed his hand holding the pen. After quietly taking a deep breath, he looked straight ahead and said:

"Chief referee, the other party's so-called safe braking distance inference just now is a wrong premise. The other party equated the time when the iron block appeared on the video to the time when our client Terai saw the iron block, and thus calculated the accident

The braking distance is 687 meters, which is 6 times the standard braking distance. However, this premise is wrong."

"The time when the iron block appeared in the video is not the same as the time when our client Terai saw the iron block. Please note that the iron block involved in the case was gray-black, which is very close to the color of the asphalt surface of the highway. We were in

Knowing the information about the traffic accident in this case and watching this video, it was possible to discover it early. It is impossible for the driver to notice the existence of the iron block as soon as it appeared in his sight. Therefore, the defendant’s

There is a fundamental premise error in the rebuttal. The time when Terai discovered the iron block was improperly advanced, and the wrong braking distance was obtained."

When this sonorous and powerful rebuttal came, many middle- and senior-level lawyers from Imanishi Law Firm who were still in the auditorium with a theatrical mentality showed surprised expressions. During the two years they worked with Miyagawa, they

My understanding is: Although the boss’s daughter is ranked third in the Faculty of Law at Tokyo University and is a good student, she is only a good student.

They feel that although Miyagawa is very serious and follows rules in doing things, he looks like the kind of top student who does very well in exams, but he lacks a bit of intelligence and a sudden aptitude.

In addition, due to the influence of her family, Miyagawa acts timidly and has no airs. Although her colleagues know that she is the boss's daughter, they don't pay much attention to her.

However, at the moment, the temperament that Miyagawa showed just now really shocked them.

Unexpectedly, Miyagawa grew up so fast.

Moreover, her timid temperament seems to be gradually being transformed by the professional atmosphere of a litigation lawyer.

As if he was also surprised by Miyagawa's change, Imanishi's brows jumped slightly, but then returned to normal.

Imani looked at the daughter in front of him and clenched his teeth slightly.

Today, let him, a well-dressed daughter, experience the gap in strength.

Let her know that this is the bright and bright future, and that following that brat named Beihara will only ruin her life.

Facing his daughter, Imanishi raised the corner of his mouth slightly with a sneer, and then looked at Judge Kumagai in the trial seat, "Chief Judge, I have a new piece of evidence to add. It can prove why the driving behavior of the client Terai is abnormal.
