Offer To The CEO Chapter 629: It's Friday Again, I Guess That Means Court - Part 2

Friday, continued …

Lu Jingho turned away from watching Anna and Hou Yi, smirking as he did so.  These two needed to go down, and he wanted to make sure they knew their place.  Doing this, he was certain helped do this.

As everyone settled in court the judge quickly came into the court room and indicated "Miss Gang, Gentleman, I have had the opportunity to review the medical report that was submitted by the National Prosecutor's office, after they received it from Mr Nang.  Miss Gang, I understand that you were provided with a copy of this when you arrived this morning.  Have you had time to review it?"

"We have sir," responded Jane.  It was something that she had not discussed with Lu Jingho but knew exactly what he would say.  Wasting time today was something she did not want to do as it would result in nothing for the case.

Lu Jingho, gently pulled her arm and quietly said "What is this"

Jane, quickly responded "Nothing to worry about, I know what you will want me to do." With that she turned back to look at the Judge,

The National Prosecution's representative stood up and said "Sir, that evidence is compelling.  I understand from Mr Nang, that the obstetrician who prepared the report is the same obstetrician who prepared a report for the court when Mr Lu's son and daughter-in-law had matters before the court.  The court accepted he was an expert then, and therefore it would be difficult for Mr Lu to argue that he is not an expert now.  Its conclusion is clear, continuing to delay setting this matter down for its final hearing risks to her health and her pregnancy would justify the court making decisions today as to the processes for this case going forward."

"Additionally, Sir, from our perspective we have the same position. Mr Lu has had been afforded more opportunity than most defendants before the court would determine to send this to a final hearing on the charges. In part that has been due to the number of charges he has faced, and in part to see if the laying of the charges may prompt further alleged, and let me stress alleged victims, to come forward. For those victims where deals have not been reached, we cannot continue to allow the matters to drag through the system."

As the national prosecutor's representative was speaking Jane had turned to Lu Jingho and been restraining him.  She knew when she read the report this would be what was said, and quietly said to him "We are caught.  Arguing about the unacceptability of a report by someone the court have already accepted as being qualified to provide the opinion is wasting time and energy.  But I have a plan, so stay calm."

While he wanted to react, Lu Jingho aware of the agreement his struck with his lover he paused to thing about it.  Further he knew that Jane was able to think strategically, and she would have a plan on how to deal with it.  Nodding he said "Fine, but I do want to review that report later."

When the national prosecutors representative stopped speaking Jane stood up.  "Sir as to the obstetrician who provided the report on Madam Hou we can confirm it was the same person who provided the report on our client's daughter-in-law.  The situations are dramatically different and cannot be compared.  That pregnancy had not reached the three-month mark, and was extremely fragile, whereas Madam Hou is around six months pregnant.  The risks to Madam Hou are those that apply to any woman at a similar point in their pregnancy, and her stress and other factors should be judged in that light.  If you give too much weight to them you require the court to consider it for every pregnant victim, delaying justice."

Hou Yi and Anna, with that grabbed each other's hand tightly, as they realised the other was about to react, and the last thing that they needed in court was for that to happen. Hou Yi turned and looked at Alister Nang, indicating if he was given the opportunity to say something.

"More importantly sir, is the psychiatrist report we have filed on our client.  It makes it very clear that attempting to force the matters forward, will cause further deterioration to our client's mental state that has been deteriorating since about the time of his son's marriage.  That will delay the matters for all victims significantly.  His report places many matters in context since that time."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
