Chapter 96 Chapter 96 I’ve had enough of the suffering of the Blood Internship Case…
After hearing this, Isshiki Todumaru felt that this time it might not be easy. Lunye mentioned that Alice was a minor, and Lunye continued:
"Whether it's Alice or Milo, a not guilty plea is unlikely. But if Robin pleads guilty to a lesser charge, Alice's underage status is a good trump card," Kamohashi said. "I just don't know if Robin has discussed this privately with Prosecutor Kazama, or if they'll bring it to the surface."
"Why do you feel like you're going to the battlefield?"
"After all, every testimony is crucial to whether Milo and Alice can receive a fair trial." Kamohashi Ron, now unusually serious, said, "So, every word you say must be spoken with extreme caution. If you're not, you'll be caught by Lawyer Robin and Prosecutor Kazama."
The judge looked over the case file. Although he had already reviewed it once before, in order to reopen the Blood Internship case, he was still shocked by the series of criminal facts related to the M family listed by Prosecutor Kazama in the file.
Is it true that they are the legendary M family? If there is solid evidence in this case, then they will basically be sentenced to life imprisonment, and at most they can plead a lesser charge.
"...This kind of case, even for an excellent lawyer like Robin, would be difficult to defend, wouldn't it?" The judge muttered to himself, then quickly turned serious and said, "Then let's begin with the opening statement. This case is a revival of the Blood Trainee case from five years ago, but in the end, the defendant, Kamohashi Ron, successfully proved his innocence in court, so Kamohashi-kun is now in this courtroom as a witness... The prosecutor has re-accused Mello Moriarty of the Blood Trainee murder... Let's hear Mello's case first?"
Kazama Jasmine then added, "For some reason, the two individuals accused often committed crimes alone. Each case is independent, so they are not being charged together."
Isshiki Todomaru: "The whole thing was in English?"
Kamohashi Ron nodded: "Do you need a Japanese translator?"
"No, thanks. I asked Shubizi and Hisui Chenji to teach me English before... when I returned to Japan from Blue."
Kamo no Bridge Theory: "..."
If everyone wants to learn English, why not let him, a genuine British person, teach them?

Marie Kazama coughed twice, then continued, "Your Honor, the prosecution is about to begin charging Milo Moriarty with organized crime, intentional homicide, intentional injury, and inciting others to commit crimes. Below is the evidence provided by witnesses and a reconstruction of several events. In addition, witness Kamonohashi can provide relevant testimony regarding the Blood Internship case. Your Honor, do the opposing lawyers have any objections?"
Robin: "I have a question about the Blood Internship case."
"What's the problem?"
"If I remember correctly, it seems that Milo wasn't the one who killed the suspects in the Blood Internship case... No, it's not like it wasn't, but one of the cases gave Milo a very clear alibi. Has the member of the M family responsible for the murders been arrested?"
Kazama Jasmine: "Of course he was arrested. Since the opposing lawyer mentioned this, the prosecution can directly invite this witness to testify."
Kamonohashi Ron was a little surprised in the witness stand: "That guy turned himself in?"
After all, the other party committed a crime. Although he is a witness, he was most likely in detention before being summoned to court. I don't know whether Prosecutor Kazama has completed the trial of this person. If he has, he should have been summoned here from prison.
Marie Kazama: "Witness Kamo no Hashi, you can use various methods to confirm whether he is the suspect in the Blood Internship Case."
"Prosecutor Kazama, I have an objection." Kamohashi Ron suddenly said.
Kazama Jasmine: “……?”
"The suspect in the Blood Internship case is pretending to be me. I've never seen his real face, so I can only judge him based on his height and build. But there are many people in the world with similar height and build to me... You should be asking Milo right now."
Milo snorted coldly at this time: "Yanohashi, you should know that the defendant's testimony has less legal effect than that of an innocent witness, right?"
"But now, as an innocent witness, I truly have never seen the faces of the seven suspects who killed them. I didn't see it, and I can't possibly give any false testimony based on something like this," Kamonohashi said. "I've suffered enough from the Blood Trainee Case."
Isshiki Totomaru: "...Theory."
He still remembered that Lun had said a long time ago that he had been severely slandered and attacked, referring to the events during the Blood Trainee Case. Now that he thought about it, whether it was Prosecutor Kazama or Lawyer Robin, reopening the Blood Trainee Case, didn't they want everyone to resolve all the issues left over from the case five years ago, so that Lun could let go of it sooner?
Kazama Jasmine: "I understand, so defendant, please cooperate from now on."
Milo: "I have the right to remain silent, right?"
"If you think silence will benefit you, then go ahead," said Kazama Jasmine. "But with your resistance now, the jury seems inclined to incriminate you more severely."
Milo: “…”
Milo: "I mean my lawyer will cooperate. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals."
Robin: “…”
Isshiki Totomaru: "..."
Why did you chicken out so quickly in court, Milo?
We still miss your rebellious look on the Exotic Dolphin.

Ultimately, it was up to Milo to confirm whether this witness was truly involved in the Blood Internship case and the person impersonating Kamohashi Ron. After Milo confirmed that there was no problem, Kamohashi Ron testified that this person's build was indeed similar to his. At this point, Kazama Marie continued, "I think no one has any questions now. Witness, please begin your testimony."
The other party was silent for a while in the witness stand, probably thinking about how to organize his words, and then quickly began to explain his situation: "First, regarding the blood trainee case, I was responsible for pretending to be Kamohashi Ron to kill the suspect and create witnesses. Because Kamohashi Ron didn't have many friends in Blue at the time..."
"Wait a minute, I have an objection." Kamohashi Ron suddenly said.
Judge: "Witness, do you have any questions?"
"I mean, when I explain the situation, I don't need to mention that I don't have many friends in Blue, right?" Although Kamohashi Jun was arrogant at the time and could even be said to have almost no friends, it was still a little embarrassing to be said by the other party like this.
Being an emotional anchor didn't have any friends during school...
Isshiki Todumaru: "...Is this the point?!"
Judge: "Rejected. The other party stated objective facts, so please continue to explain."
The witness continued, "I did indeed do this part in the Blood Internship case. Of course, I only did this part of the matter related to the Blood Internship case."
"This is what the witness said, and it matches Kamohashi Ron's testimony... except for the fact that he didn't have many friends during his time in Blue," Kazama Mari continued. "But it can't be said that the witness is lying. Our investigation revealed that Kamohashi Ron had many admirers in Blue, but because of his personality back then... it was just admiration."
Kamo no Bridge Theory: "..."
Isshiki Totomaru: "You're so welcome, Prosecutor Kazama."
Robin: "Wait a minute, witness, I have a question."

Milo was shocked by Robin's words "I have a problem" and even looked at Robin with a little confusion. He thought he was just going through the motions, so why did he really go to this lawyer when he had a problem?
Robin quietly explained to Milo, "Even though you just want to go through the motions, I'm your lawyer now. I can't possibly not defend you when I've secured a lighter sentence."
In fact, before the trial, Robin, as Milo and Alice's lawyer, had quarreled with Marie Kazama many times. They reached consensus on some issues, but for those they could not reach a consensus on, the two of them quarreled in court.
Regarding the Blood Trainee Case, Isshiki Totomaru listened very attentively, but it was basically not his turn to testify. After all, he was not a party to the Blood Trainee Case. However, Isshiki Totomaru was also shocked by Robin's words "I have a problem", and whispered to Kamohashi Ron: "The testimony sounds reliable to me? What's the problem?"
Robin: "I want to ask, since you said this is only related to the Blood Internship case, are you involved in other cases related to the M family?"
Marie Kazama: "Even if the lawyer on the other side is involved in other cases, it has nothing to do with the Blood Internship case currently being charged against Milo."
Robin: "No, I mean... whose orders was this witness taking? After all, according to the files obtained from the prosecution and the corresponding intelligence I personally possess, this witness later worked for another leader of the M family, Alice... If this time it wasn't Milo's orders that took precedence, but Alice's instructions, then Milo's relevant crimes could be less severe."
Marie Kazama: "...But then Alice's crime might be even more serious."
Robin blinked: "At least now I am still Milo's defense lawyer." As for Alice, her opponent will not be Prosecutor Kazama by then.
Kamonohashi: "I suddenly remembered, Toto, there was a case related to Alice where Prosecutor Kazama was actually the party involved. So when Robin defended Alice, the prosecutor probably wouldn't be Marie Kazama."
Isshiki Totomaru: "Huh?!!"
