End of the second stage!?

タイトル:セカンド・ステージが終了!?

Attending Horiemon's 16th day of hearings.
The last of the four former executives of Livedoor appearing to testify today. If the first stage of this trial is Horiemon's first day of hearings, we were in the second stage from the second day of hearings with the testimonies made by the former exectutives, but today, the second stage was also practically over... practically... And it's probobly not a coincidence that the prosecuters will give out their concluding speech against the four tomorrow, as their time is up to ask for a forgiving sentence before the judge. (Well, they will be given one last chance right before the conclusion of the hearings for them next month.)
Meanwhile, Horiemon's trial will continue on, and we will step up to the next critical stage when the questioning of Horiemon himself begins on November 7th. Before this month is over, we still have four more days of hearings, but it won't be too exciting... I think...

ホリエモンの16日目の公判に出た。
今日は4人の元幹部の最後の1人が登場した。この裁判のファーストステージホリエモンの初公判だとすれば、2日目からは元幹部たちの証言が始まり、セカンドステージに入っていた。でもきょう、そのセカンドステージも事実上終わった…事実上ね…。そして図ったかのようにあした、検察側が4人に対して論告を行う。彼らが裁判官の前で寛大な刑をお願いする時間は尽きた。(まぁ、来月の結審の前に最後の機会を与えられるけどね。)
その間に、ホリエモンの公判は続き、ホリエモン自身の質疑が始まる11月7日から次の重要なステージに上がる。今月が終わる前に、まだ4日も公判がある。あまり盛り上がりはしないけどね…たぶん…。


and another late "just before midnight" supper... waiting for a burger to take out!
they're not taking their time just because I have a bad luck number, are they!?
