Even in the trial just now, Liao Cai didn't even knock out the mother liquor extraction and identification of the mother liquor tank, but she was also calm at this time.

Because she knew that Zhang Ruiming and the little girl had been running all day yesterday, but no judicial appraisal agency in Tianjin and Hong Kong was willing to accept the appraisal commission on the water quality of the Jingsha River.

At present, the prosecution only has two identification reports on the composition of the mother liquor and the pollutant composition at the discharge point, which can only prove that the upstream and downstream of the sewage discharge of Tianjin Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry are the only ones that lack the identification report of the key glyphosate pollutant components in the water of the Jingsha River.

If there is no evidence of the harmful outcome, even if there is evidence of process and origin, so what!?

As long as the prosecution does not get this appraisal report, the chain of evidence will not be complete.

What made Liao Cai even more relieved was that her insider told her a news that the Jingsha River water quality report made by the Forensic Appraisal Center of Jingang University was commissioned by the prosecutor...... Pressed down from above!

This is a key signal, everything is the same as Liao Cai and the others expected before.

There are still worries above, and the big guys are still throwing rat traps. Compared with "whether we can win this lawsuit and how to investigate those responsible", it is more important to suppress the current ferocious public opinion, not to let the incident become bigger, and not to alarm the "heavenly court".

This is the last trump card of Liao Cai and Wang Yingying.

It is also the biggest dead end of Zhang Ruiming and their prosecutors.

"We have no evidence to provide ......"

Sure enough, the prosecution had no way to get that crucial appraisal report! Liao Cai was overjoyed, as long as the prosecution's evidence chain was incomplete, then this lawsuit would have a chance for itself......

But Zhang Ruiming's next words completely shattered her illusions, and the young and handsome prosecutor threw out his hole cards at this time-

"We apply for an expert assistant to appear in court ......"

What the!?

Liao Cai couldn't believe his ears, he didn't expect that at this juncture, this kid actually hid this hand!?

Paragraph 2 of Article 192 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates: "Public prosecutors, parties, defenders, and agents ad litem may apply to the court to notify a person with specialized knowledge to appear in court and submit opinions on the appraisal opinions made by the evaluators. ”

The expert assistant is a person with specialized knowledge, who can appear in court to support or challenge the appraisal opinion after the application, which is a relatively rare litigation tactic, and generally only arises in medical damage liability disputes.

And in today's environmental pollution type lawsuit, there is an expert assistant. This is the first case in Nanzhou province.

"Hmm...... The application ...... here: "The Chamber agreed with the prosecution's application. Zuo Ning looked at the written application submitted by the prosecution before and agreed to the expert assistant invited by the prosecution to appear in court.

At this time, at the entrance of the witness passage of the courtroom, a young man wearing glasses, who looked no more than 30 years old, had a baby face, and was full of bookishness, and walked to the scene of the trial.

“…… I am Miao Han, director of Jingang 601 Chemical Research Institute. ”

At first, seeing the appearance of this expert was quite tender, Liao Cai still had a trace of doubt in her heart, but one day when she heard the name and origin of this expert assistant, her eyes darkened, this is the top of the domestic glyphosate project

At the beginning, I heard Liu Zaishi, the deputy director of the Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical Industry, mention that Zhang Ruiming seemed to have some friendship with this person, and he also mentioned this person's name during the last search. Liao Cai and the others went to the 601 institute to visit this Miao Han, but they went several times, but they didn't find anyone, every time they said that the director of the Miao Institute went to the field to do experiments, and the dragon saw the beginning and the end all year round.

Unexpectedly, the prosecutor was invited over!

"Hello Director Miao, you can start to state your expert opinion. ”

"Well, as we all know, glyphosate is a non-selective, residue-free herbicide, and its chemical structure is HOCOCH2NHCH2POOHO, specifically glyphosate ammonium salt NH4, which is effective against perennial rooting weed machines, and is widely used in rubber, mulberry, tea, orchards and sugarcane fields around the world. Its main function is to inhibit the enolacetone-based shikimin phosphate synthase in plants, thereby inhibiting the conversion of shikimiin to phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan, so that protein synthesis is disturbed, resulting in plant death. Glyphosate is absorbed by stems and leaves and transmitted to all parts of the plant, which can control more than 40 families of plants, such as monocotyledon and dicots, annual and perennial, herbaceous and shrubs. After glyphosate is introduced into the soil, it can quickly combine with metal ions such as iron and aluminum and lose its activity, but has no adverse effect on the seeds and soil microorganisms hidden in the soil......"

Miao Han's statement confused the people who were listening, what glyphosate? What phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan are? What do you want to see with the beautiful lawyer denouncing the prosecution in a royal voice, but you don't want to hear this man with eyes who suddenly appears to talk about any scientific theory.

Zuo Ning, the presiding judge, didn't want to go too far, he reminded Miao Handao: "Director Miao, you still directly talk about whether the glyphosate mother liquor of Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical Industry is toxic after it is discharged into the water, how toxic it is, and how harmful it is. It would be enough to make these specific questions clear. ”

"Hmm, hmm......" Miao Han pushed his glasses and continued: "...... If it is dissolved in water, it is necessary to analyze the specific problem on a case-by-case basis, and it is necessary to look at the concentration of glyphosate in the water body of Jingsha River and the specific oxygen enrichment of the water body. ”

Hearing this, Liao Cai was a little relieved, fortunately, this expert is so young, he looks dumbfounded, and he is very pedantic when he speaks. What he just said is not in tune at all, but it has helped us a lot, as long as the inspection report of the water hazard situation does not come out, the current situation will still be beneficial to our side.

Zhang Ruiming was also anxious at this time, he deliberately wanted to ask Miao Han about related chemical problems before the last search of Tianjin Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry, but when he arrived at the institute, he also said that this person went to the field to do experiments, but Zhang Ruiming did not give up like Liao Cai and them. He ran for most of the day, and finally found this glyphosate expert who went to the countryside to find wild seedlings in a remote village in Dongjiang City. As a result, after chatting, I found that this young director is very good and upright, different from some "brick families" who sell their reputations, the two hit it off at first sight, and then they got on the line. Chaos heard that Zhang Ruiming wanted to ask him to appear in court because of this public interest lawsuit, but Miao Han didn't even mention the fee, so he agreed.

It's a pity that this young director is too pedant, and when he talks about professional issues at this time, he forgets the purpose and position of his appearance in court. If you continue to talk like this, how can you stand firm for the prosecution, expose the harmfulness, and refute the opposing lawyer?

Zhang Ruiming hurriedly asked, "Expert Miao...... Well, we mainly want to know whether there is a conclusion on the harmfulness of glyphosate in the world. Moreover, I would like to ask, what is the limit of glyphosate in China's water standards?"

"Dangerous

In terms of acute pathological toxicity: according to the World Health Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme, nearly 1 million people worldwide are poisoned by glyphosate every year, of which about 100,000 die. But in developing countries, such incidents are even more severe. Every year, nearly hundreds of thousands of poisoning accidents caused by glyphosate in China are caused, and about 20,000 people die because of it. On September 24, 1995, China Central Television (CCTV) reported that 540 students at a school in Binyang County, Guangxi Province, had been poisoned with pesticides by eating cabbage sprayed with highly toxic herbicides, which was the worst acute case.

In terms of chronic toxicity: glyphosate continues to accumulate in the human body, which will produce chronic harm: destroy the normal function of the nervous system, interfere with the balance of hormones in the human body, affect male fertility and immunodeficiency. Reduces human immunity, thereby affecting human health, leading to an increase in the morbidity and mortality of other diseases.

From the perspective of carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, etc.: a few years ago, the International Agency for Research on Cancer under the WHO has listed glyphosate as a category 2A carcinogen, which is a very likely carcinogenic, and in September 2015, the California Health Damage Assessment Office listed this drug in the list of carcinogenic chemicals......"

Zhang Ruiming was afraid that he would continue to talk endlessly, so he couldn't help but interrupt him: "In other words, glyphosate is extremely harmful?"

"Yes. ”

"What is the limit of normal glyphosate in China's water quality standards?"

"According to drinking water regulations, the maximum level of glyphosate in water should not exceed 0.1 micrograms per liter......"

"Well, let me ask Director Miao, according to our investigation, tens of thousands of tons of glyphosate mother liquor were illegally discharged into the Jingsha River, the source of drinking water in our Jingang City, last year.

"Tens of thousands of tons!? That's a lot...... That's certainly a lot more than that. ”

"Okay, thank you, Director Miao......" Before Zhang Ruiming finished speaking, Liao Cai next to him immediately questioned: "Oppose! We oppose the opinion of the expert assistant invited by the other party: in the absence of any data to support it, rashly using extrapolation and other methods to determine a data conclusion, this is completely irresponsible! And the foreign cases mentioned earlier to prove the harmfulness of glyphosate are completely a change of concept, as far as I know, there is still a huge controversy in the international community about whether glyphosate causes cancer......

"Defense lawyer, please respect the facts!"

In the face of Liao Cai's strong words, Zhang Ruiming couldn't help it, and he shouted for the first time today, not giving up an inch of land on the question of whether glyphosate is harmful, and immediately launched a counterattack.

"Not so long ago, an American man named Dwayne?? Johnson's farm workers sued Monsanto, the R&D agency for glyphosate, and the case has been heard in the Superior Court of California. Johnson only sprays Monsanto's herbicide "Roundup" (including glyphosate) and other products in his daily work, and uses it only 20-30 times a year. He filed a claim with the court on the grounds that "the herbicide at work would blow to his face with the wind, and even his body could be soaked with the herbicide, which could cause him to develop cancer." In the end, the jury found that Monsanto should pay US$250 million (1.71 billion yuan) in punitive damages and more than US$39 million (270 million yuan) in compensatory damages and other expenses to the man named Dwayne. Johnson's Farm Gardener!
