-When Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo interviewed the Busan High Court Chief Judge Im Seong-geun, who submitted his resignation for health reasons in May last year, amid disputes over whether or not he rejected the resignation for impeachment of the National Assembly judge, Judge Lim recorded a transcript of the conversation with Chief Justice Kim. It was released on the 4th.
Deputy Chief Judge Im’s lawyer said in a statement on the morning of the day, “The people are still curious about what the truth is, and the controversy continues.” “It is not an objection to remain silent anymore from the perspective of the people’s right to know. It is believed that it is reasonable to disclose the recording file even for public interest purposes, such as the future of the judiciary, so we inevitably disclose it.”
In the transcript, Chief Justice Kim said, “Now, I have to think about the various influences, aside from such legal matters, and that I have to look at the political situation.”
He said, “If I talk openly, I’m installing it like that to impeach it, but if I accept my resignation, what will I hear from the National Assembly?” He added, “In addition, in the case of Director Lim, the term of office is actually short and he was not guilty at the first trial.” . He said, “I don’t have the idea that it should be impeachment, but for now, it’s political and the situation is a different problem.” It is not very appropriate to receive such criticism.”
| The following is the full text of the transcript released by Judge Seong-geun Lim. |
| 1. Now, aside from such legal matters, the submission of resignation acceptance It’s a lot of influences for me. Among them, you have to look at the political situation. I talked about it last time, but I like the pregnant manager’s resignation. I have to think a lot about it and watch various situations.2. If you look closely at the current situation and talk more openly, you are installing something like that to impeach yourself What would the National Assembly hear if I had to accept my resignation? And besides, in the case of the pregnant manager, the term of office is actually short, and he was not guilty at the first trial. 3. There is a system called impeachment |
| The following is an additional position on the side of Im Sung-geun on the clarification of the Supreme Court. |
| Deputy Judge Lim Seong-geun’s attorney explained yesterday that the Supreme Court’s responses to the public and the National Assembly were different from the facts to some media reports. However, the people are still curious about what the truth is, and controversy continues.
In the situation where the third ten-year term expires at the end of February of this year, Senior Judge Seong-geun Lim had a health problem for his or her health that he did not apply for a new term. It is excluded, and if it is such a policy, maintaining the position of judge only nominally in a situation where it is impossible to predict when the trial will end is not a reason for the people and the judiciary, but because his pride could not endure it. At the stage of the first trial decision trial, the attorney also expressed his intention to leave the court when the criminal trial is cleared to some extent. I never gave up my application for a new term because I was afraid of being impeached. At the time of the regular greeting of the judge on February 2, 2021, Judge Im Seong-geun once again requested that the resignation that was previously submitted on December 14, 2020 be accepted and the resignation process with other judges who resigned from the position of the judge. There is. However, as with Judge Im Seong-geun, other judges whose term of office expires for 30 years at the end of February were resigned, while Judge Im Seong-geun was informed that it was the intention of Supreme Court Chief Justice Myung-soo Kim to resign due to the expiration of his term in late February. Despite our clarification on the Supreme Court’s stance yesterday, the media is still controversial over what is true in terms of’truth in battle’. Moreover, since some media have already reported that there are recording files, it is not a reason to remain silent even from the perspective of the people’s right to know, and it is reasonable to disclose the recording files even for public interest purposes such as the future of the judiciary. It is inevitably to disclose this. 2021. 2. 4. |
