Chapter 696: Simple Facts, Difficult Cases

Department of Public Safety, Supreme Prosecutor's Office.

The warm sunshine of early spring fills the entire office, giving people a warm and good mood.

But Kim Yun-ho's mood at the moment is completely opposite.

He sat quietly at his desk, staring at the file on the desk, his face was serious, and his heart was heavy.

The twin convenience store murder case was the first criminal case he was determined to complete the public trial, and there was no room for error.

"Whew..."

Jin Yunhao let out a long breath, then slowly raised his head and explained to Shin Donghae and Yin Guohong, who had been standing in front of him for a long time: "I have decided to personally participate in the trial of this case, and there is no room for error!" I hope to help me with all my might. ”

Shen Donghai said easily: "Boss, don't worry, we have solved so many complex criminal cases, and we can't catch such a small case in our hands?" Even with the addition of court work, there is nothing to worry about! ”

Yin Guohong had a different opinion: "Don't brag! The trial is not as simple as you think!

The trial is full of intrigue and deceit, and both the prosecution and defense will do everything to win, which is extremely dangerous! There is the touchstone of the prosecutor, and there is the battlefield of life and death for the prosecutor!

If the investigation work is a battlefield fight, then the court trial work is a court dispute, and its danger is even worse! Investigation work is fought for evidence, while court work is fought for strategy and intelligence!

The difficulty of the two is not the same at all!

Otherwise, why do you think prosecutors and lawyers can have such a high social status? People play with high IQ! Far from being capable of doing it by simple-minded people like us! ”

Hearing this, Shen Donghai didn't approve of it. I feel that Yin Guohong is a bit exaggerated.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say, is it? Didn't the prosecutors of the Public Trial Department win the lawsuits in the cases handled by the boss in the past? As long as we have sufficient evidence, are we afraid that the other party will not be able to overturn the case? ”

Yoon doesn't feel like he has much in common with Shin Donghae on this topic. I can't explain it clearly: "You can't understand it if you talk too much, and when you and Prosecutor Jin participate in the trial, you will know that what I said is the truth!" ”

The two argued, but in the end neither said anything.

However, Kim Yun-ho, who was watching from the sidelines, knew that what Yoon Guohong said was the truth, and the trial process was full of countless variables, far from being as simple as Shin Donghae imagined.

Kim Yoon-ho didn't waste his words convincing Shin Dong-hae, because he hadn't experienced the trial either. Unconvincing.

He put the topic down for the time being, leaving them to give it their all and be careful.

Immediately, he led two right-hand men. I began to look through the file and study the facts of the case.

Half an hour later, when the three of them finished reading the complete dossier, their expressions were very ugly.

The case of the twin homicides is not complicated. It can even be said to be very simple: two brothers with the same appearance rob a convenience store. In the process, he got into an argument with the owner of the convenience store, and one of them stabbed the owner to death.

Although the facts of the case are simple, it is difficult to convict the criminal!

Because the twin brothers look too similar, they can't tell who did the crime, and the relevant physical evidence at the scene, including the murder weapon, cannot prove who did the crime, and in the end, both brothers claim that they are not the murderers.

Just by looking at the file, you know how difficult the trial work is. Because it is impossible to determine who the prisoner is!

At this moment, even a guy like Shin Donghae, who is optimistic by nature, has become worried.

Shen Donghai hesitated: "Boss." Are you going to appear in court in person? I think... Don't want it! Why don't you tell us about it and give us another job? ”

Kim Yun-ho decisively vetoed: "This case was specially selected for me by Senior Prosecutor Park Kook-kwon, and I can't reject this case because of the difficulty of the case." This kind of reason is simply unjustifiable. ”

Shen Donghai immediately thought of something, and said, "Park Guoquan gave it to us?" He's going to harm us? ”

Kim Yun-ho shook his head: "He has no reason to do this!" I can't figure out why, but it's certainly not what you think. ”

He did not say good things about Park Kook-kwon, but analyzed it realistically. He has no conflict of interest with Park Guoquan, and Park Guoquan also needs him at the moment, so there is no reason to frame him. So it's definitely not what Shen Donghai thinks.

As soon as Kim Yun-ho's words fell, Yin Guohong suddenly interjected: "Prosecutor Kim, I may know why he asked you to take this case." ”

With the encouragement of Kim Yunhao's eyes, Yin Guohong analyzed: "The facts of this case are not complicated, but it is a case of national concern!" And this attention will be extremely high!

If you can solve this case perfectly and convict the real culprit, your reputation will reach a level that many other prosecutors can't match!

So I think Senior Prosecutor Park Kook-kwon is helping you, or testing you! ”

Without waiting for Yin Guohong to finish speaking, Shen Donghai interjected: "Wait!" How I listen to it is getting more and more confused! Isn't this just an ordinary criminal case? Why did it suddenly become the focus of national attention again? ”

Yin Guohong did not answer immediately, but handed today's newspaper to Shen Donghai to read.

"Look at the headlines! Pay attention to the report on the 'Lai Tae Yuan Murder Case'!

In 1997, the incident in Laitaewon shocked the whole of South Korea.

The deceased was found tragically dead in the toilet of a fast-food restaurant in Itaewon, while two of his friends were suspected of committing major crimes. But both claimed that the other was the murderer, and in the end, because there was no other evidence, both were released.

Although the people of the whole country knew that there must be a murderer among the two, it was because there was no evidence that the real culprit was spared! This case was a lot of trouble at the time, and I was also impressed by this case!

After more than ten years, there has been significant progress in this case, and evidence has recently emerged that the deceased's American friend is the murderer, and this American will be extradited to South Korea in the near future to be tried by the South Korean legal authorities!

And the twin convenience store homicide case we are now responsible for is highly similar to the murder case in Li Taiyuan, there are two suspects at the same scene, there is no direct criminal evidence, and the same suspects have not confessed!

It can be expected that after this case is exposed, it will be considered by the South Korean judicial circles and the public as a copy of the case of the Lai Tae Yuan! This case has a high degree of guidance and reference significance for the final trial result of the Li Tai Court, which will be retried!

Therefore, the twin case will definitely become the focus of national attention! There is no doubt about it! ”

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!

This old saying couldn't be more true.

With more than 20 years of work experience and social experience, Yin Guohong perfectly popularized the background of this case.

And through Yoon Kook-hong's introduction, Kim Yoon-ho also figured out Park Kook-kwon's true purpose.

Park Guoquan wanted him to establish his reputation as a prosecutor with the special background of this case. Naturally, this may also contain the taste of school examinations, after all, big people always like to do similar things.

After figuring out the background information of the case, Kim Yun-ho set his sights on the case itself.

Although the case is difficult, he cannot avoid it, because this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that cannot be missed.

And even if he failed, it didn't have much effect on him. After all, this kind of case is recognized as a difficult case, so even if he fails, others will understand and will not say much.

Kim Yoon-ho adjusted for a moment, threw out all the messy thoughts in his head, and began to discuss the case.

As a participant in the discussion, Yin Guohong's attitude is naturally not much, and he is extremely cautious.

And Shen Donghai, who didn't care about it before, has become cautious and abnormal at this moment, and his relaxed attitude has long disappeared, it is really too difficult and involved in this case, and the degree of thorniness has surpassed all the cases investigated in the past!

After discussing for a long time, Yin Guohong asked the core question: "Prosecutor Jin, in what name and crime will you file a lawsuit for this case?" ”

The filing of a lawsuit is the beginning of the litigation and the focus of the debate in the trial, which is directly related to the fairness of the law and the vital interests of the defendant, and is extremely important.

At the same time, it is also the right of the prosecutor, and it is entirely up to the prosecutor handling the case to decide how to decide.

Kim Yoon-ho thought back to the legal knowledge he had learned and the cases he had been exposed to, and finally decided, "Prosecute two people in the name of joint crimes!" The two were charged with joint crimes and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for murder. ”

The crime of intentional homicide is usually punishable by 15 years in prison in South Korea, and prosecution practice is practiced.

As for the final verdict and sentencing, it depends on the trial process and the judge's verdict.

Hearing about Kim Yunhao's decision, Yin Guohong nodded approvingly: "Yes, it is a very reasonable decision to prosecute." In order to avoid letting the real culprits go, it is indeed safer to prosecute the two suspects in the name of joint crimes. ”

Shen Donghai realized it later, and suddenly said: "In other words, the boss made this decision not to judge the two to commit a crime together based on evidence and facts, but only a strategy or a means of prosecution?" ”

Yin Guohong replied helpfully: "That's true." ”

Shen Donghai was surprised: "This is okay?" But what if the decision to prosecute is wrong? Isn't that wronging a good person? ”

Yin Guohong shook his head and said, "No, neither the defense lawyer nor the judge will allow this to happen."

The judge has to find out the facts, and the defense lawyer will try to defend the defendant, which will serve as a reminder to avoid the occurrence of wrongful treatment of good people to the greatest extent.

And when we do find that the claim is wrong, we can also change the claim.

So the situation you're worried about is almost unlikely!

That's why I said that Prosecutor Kim's decision to prosecute is very reasonable, because it is prudent and can be retreated and advanced! ”

Shen Donghai was almost confused by Yin Guohong: "I said this is too troublesome!" This is just a lawsuit, and it involves such a bend? It's also so tiring! ”

Yin Guohong glanced at Shen Donghai: "Then you think the trial work is so simple?" ”

This time, Shen Donghai was sincerely convinced: "Okay, I admit that I underestimated the trial work before." ”

This product has a direct personality, and he quickly admits his mistakes, which is very cute.

Seeing that Yoon Guohong helped him say everything, there was no need for Kim Yunhao to explain anything.

He picked up his coat and briefcase, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go and meet our suspect first, learn about the case, and by the way, learn about our opponent's situation, and see who the defense lawyer in this case is." ”

Prosecutors and lawyers are natural enemies and adversaries, and it is necessary to get to know each other well. (To be continued.) )
