Citizens’ memorial wave continues at Jeong In-i’s cemetery, which was enshrined in the high family Andersen Park Cemetery in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. Reporter Lee Han-hyung-Hundreds of petitions have been poured out in the courts calling for severe punishment since the indictment last month of the adoptive parents who adopted 16 months of age and abused them for several months, resulting in death. The judge decided not to look at the petition until it was found guilty.
According to the Seoul Southern District Law on the 6th, there were 680 complaints registered in the court system up to the previous day. Most of the content calls for severe punishment for adoptive parents.
The Seoul Southern District Law said on this day, “The number of complaints received for’Jung Ini’s case’ reached a level that the receptionist could not enter the system one by one, so from now on, we decided to compile it into the record immediately.” As the’I’m sorry Jung’ challenge spreads mainly online, and’how to write a petition for Jungin’ is shared, it seems to be a measure due to the constant submission of petitions.
Criminal Division 13 (Director Judge Shin Hyeok-jae), who was in charge of the hearing, said that he would not look at the petition until he judged whether he was not guilty. The Seoul Southern District Law explained, “There is a concern that it will affect the judgment of guilt and innocence, so it is the purpose of not viewing the petition until the evidence is checked and whether or not you are not guilty.”
In a call with CBS Norcut News, a court official said, “If you look at the sentencing criteria of the Supreme Court’s sentencing committee, the petition is not included as a sentencing factor, so it is left to the discretion of the court.”
Jung In-yang died on October 13 last year at a hospital in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu. It was investigated that he suffered habitual assault and abuse by wool, etc., and died after a strong shock to his back on the day of his death.
The prosecution applied charges such as child abuse, lethality, abandonment, and neglect, and charged him with arrest. Ahn, the adoptive wife, was charged with child abuse, child abandonment and neglect, and charged with disability. As the prosecution recently asked forensic experts to re-appraise the cause of Jung In-yang’s death, the possibility of murder is raised as well.
The first trial of the adoptive parents will be held at the Seoul Southern District Law on the 13th.
