Chapter 296: Questioning law enforcement conduct! The presiding judge agreed to postpone the trial.
At the Judges' Bench.
Presiding Judge Yu Cheng raised his head slightly and looked toward the Accusing Party's seats.
At this stage of the arguments, the case had not yet reached a point that called for an adjournment.
He was not quite sure why Su Bai had requested one.
An adjournment usually meant allowing the Collegial Panel and the judges to rest
or to discuss and deliberate on a particular issue in the case.
But...
Su Bai's request for an adjournment during the trial left him somewhat puzzled.
So he asked, "What is the Accusing Party's reason for requesting an adjournment?"
"Please explain."
At the seats for the Accusing Party's representatives.
Su Bai looked down at the materials he had finished organizing, then raised his head to answer the presiding judge's question:
"Presiding Judge."
"The Accusing Party's reason for requesting an adjournment is-to apply for a postponement of this trial."
"We ask the Collegial Panel to adjourn and deliberate on whether to postpone this trial."
"The Prosecution believes the evidence provided by the Prosecution Party in this trial is insufficient and should be supplemented."
Supplementary evidence?
Su Bai's statement drew the attention of everyone involved in the trial.
The evidence for this trial had already been supplemented quite thoroughly.
What further evidence was there to provide?
Yu Cheng frowned slightly. "Please give a specific explanation."
Su Bai said, "The Prosecution believes that the issues involving Law Enforcement in this case are also an important part of the evidence in this trial."
Four years earlier.
Law Enforcement's prolonged failure to move forward after opening the case was key to this case.
Both the groundless dismissal of the case back then and the failure to move it forward
