Lawyer Kang Tae-hoon Episode 30

It was possible to clearly see the coarsely fixed wires with the naked eye, and there were signs of wrapping electrical tape everywhere, and even the electrical tape was loose.

“This is the proof I most wanted to get. Your mother wants you to win.”

Taehoon sighed and took out a cigarette and lit it. Moo-hyuk burst into tears as his words touched his heart even more.

The drinking party was over and I was about to take him in a taxi, but I was completely drunk and couldn’t control myself.

“Ouch… … mom… … I miss you… … .”

“Ugh, what about me?”

Taehoon also got a little drunk, so this situation was ridiculous.

I wonder how I got to take on this person’s request.

But at the same time, I wished that this person would not go astray any more.

bean!

“100 million… … ? Hmmmm… … .”

Taehoon gently fed a honey chestnut to his head. He lifted his head as if in a clear mind and then lowered it again.

After feeding him honey chestnuts several times, Tae-hoon took a taxi and sent him back.

In today’s case, Moo-hyuk was not able to attend because he was busy. hearing date. Tae-hoon, who came to the Uijeongbu District Court, was able to meet the chief judge, Ha Tae-kwon, who was drinking coffee in front of the vending machine.

“Hello, Judge.”

“Isn’t this Kang’s lawyer?”

The judge, Taekwon Ha, smiled and asked for a handshake.

In fact, before the trial, it is not allowed to gather and talk with the people in charge of the case, but in reality, it is not a matter that is well observed.

However, they can be punished if they actually utter the story related to the trial from their mouths.

“This is the first trial.”

“That’s right.”

“Unfortunately, I met a terrifying enemy.”

Judge Ha Tae-kwon was a man with 15 years of experience. He has a sad look.

Even so, I wondered how frustrating it would be for a lawyer who has just entered society to get along with a lawyer from a Korean law firm.

On the other hand, Taehoon is relaxed.

“Where are the terrifying enemies? It depends on what is right and what is wrong.”

“That’s right.”

Judge Ha Tae-kwon nodded his head.

There was a certain amount of confidence in Taehoon’s face.

Whether it was deception or true confidence seemed to be known by observing.

Tae-hoon answered the phone and rushed to the courthouse.

Grandmother Um Chun-ja got off the taxi.

“I should have gone to pick you up… … .”

“Ah, that’s okay. I’m not quite there yet. A lawyer.”

Tae-hoon called to pick him up himself, but he refused, so he will meet in front of the courthouse like this.

Lee Baek-ho, the defendant’s witness, Park Jung-ho, a facility manager, and Lee Sae-hwan, a resident of the apartment, got out of the car that stopped in the parking lot while trying to take him in.

Park Joong-ho, the facility manager, was startled and surprised to see Grandmother Um Chun-ja.On the other hand, a man named Lee Sae-hwan was a peacemaker.

‘There’s something piercing about this.’

Tae-hoon could see that Park Joong-ho, a startled and surprised witness, was in a very unstable state of mind even though he stood as a witness.

And maybe it was the same for Tae-Hoon himself.

Chun-ja Um’s grandmother was quite old.

But I think she will be able to overcome it enough.

* * *

Proceedings will proceed as they were done at the time of the preparatory hearing.

After all the proceedings have been completed, the judge asks:

“The plaintiff’s witness. Did Um Chun-ja attend?”

“Yes, you attended.”

Her grandmother said as she slumped and raised her right arm.

“Did you attend the defendant’s witnesses, Joong-ho Park and Sae-hwan Lee?”

“Yes.”

“I attended.”

“great. Start the witness test. Witness examinations take turns starting from the plaintiff’s side. Witnesses cannot testify through documents prepared in advance. Also, at the time of the interrogation, the litigation representatives of both sides are requested to interrogate according to the submitted witness interrogation. Please note that questions that are not in the content may be restricted.”

“Yes.”

“Then, please come to the witness stand for the plaintiff’s witness, Um Chun-ja.”

At the judge’s words, Grandmother Um Chun-ja carefully stood in front of the witness chair. It was very unsettling.

There were formal questions from the judge.

“Now then, please read the oath of witness.”

“Yes. Bo, it’s me, be on your mind… … I can’t see well… … .”

‘.’

He frowned and tried to read well, but when he said he couldn’t see it, Baekho shed a scornful laugh. Reluctantly, the clerk approaches and recites it for him.

“Grandma. you can follow me I myself, according to my conscience, without hiding and without help.”

“I am, according to my conscience, without hiding and without assistance.”

She sat down after reading all the oaths of witnesses under the guidance of her clerk.

“Please start a newspaper for the plaintiff’s attorney.”

“Yes.”

Taehoon stood in front of her and smiled once. She lived many years, but she wasn’t the strongest on the court.

I could see her droopy, wrinkled hands trembling slightly.

Taehoon starts with a soft voice.

“Witness, Chun-ja Um, has been working as a janitor in an apartment through Hanum Construction for 5 years, right?”

“Right.”

“Then, it is judged that you will also know that there were inconveniences in the welfare conditions of the apartment and the corresponding treatment.”

She answered Taehoon’s formal question.

“Article 50 Paragraph 1 under the Labor Standards Act. Working hours in one week cannot exceed 40 hours, excluding breaks. There is an item called Are you well taken care of?”

“Watched! I worked 10 hours a day, 12 hours a day, and only rested once or twice a month.”

“Then Article 55, does the employer violate the clause that an employer must give workers an average of at least one paid holiday per week?”

“There was such a law.”

“Witness, how much is your current hourly wage?”

“Was it 2,700 won? … .”

“i See. They were forced to do so even though they were paid less than the minimum wage law. Did Um Chun-ja, the usual witness, think that the facility was unsafe?”

“Many, since there are no warehouses in the world, unnecessary things are piled up on the roof road, and I had a big fight with the manager Park over that. Who’s got to get hurt in order to come to his senses? But manager Park is also a salaried worker. What can I do… … .”

“I have an objection. Witnesses are confusing this trial with stories that are not related to the current trial.”

“I admit it. witness. Please refrain from unnecessary words and actions.”

Judge Ha Tae-kwon did not raise her voice in consideration of her age, but in a soft voice.

Tae-hoon wrinkled his nose and smiled, asking him to do the same.

“Then the witness is acknowledging that the death of the victim, Kyung-ja Lee, was not his negligence, but the poor management of the facility by the Hanum Construction Company.”

“right!”

As evidence, Tae-hoon opened the scan file and showed him a dirty, stagnant basement.

The audience frowned.

“Witness, is it true that the Witnesses took a break here under the name of a common room?”

“right.”

The audience looked shocked.

How do you make a place like that a break room?

Even from the scanned photos, it looked like it was dusty in the sunlight and had a strong smell.

“Nowadays, dogs are not raised in places like that.”

It was the sound of the audience.

“If anyone makes another confusing comment, we will take action immediately.”

Despite the audience’s frown, Lee Baek-ho was only relaxed.

And so was Taehyung.

Judge Ha Tae-kwon was somewhat surprised when Tae-hoon led the trial more smoothly than expected.

I knew he worked as a judge, but I was told he worked as a military judge. Still, his skills as a lawyer were very splendid.

Lee Baek-ho’s relaxed expression distorted.

“I present additional evidence.”

“Additional evidence?”

The judge tilted his head.

“You just need to connect your phone. Judge.”

“I admit it.”

It is correct to prepare and apply for actual evidence during the original hearing. However, it could be raised as evidence if there were no significant restrictions on the date of the date.

Taehoon connected his cell phone to his laptop.

After connecting, he went into the photo album and clicked on his photo.

The enlarged picture showed the broken wires.

“It is the culprit that led to the death of the victim, Lee Kyung-ja, in the basement where the accident occurred. The place where the victim Kyungja Lee went to rest was turned off and turned on as usual. And that’s what happened because the sloppy wires had already fallen to the floor and the loose electrical tape couldn’t keep the water out of the floor.”

‘Damn it… … !’

Lee Baek-ho’s expression was horribly distorted when he checked the evidence.

The wire was apparently recovered immediately after the accident.Saving that picture was a key shot.

A cold sweat started running down his back.

“Defendant’s attorney. Would you like to cross-examine it?”

“no.”

Baek-ho Lee refused to be cross-examined and went on to interrogate his witnesses.

His newspaper with the facility manager Park Jung-ho said that there were no problems with the facility, and he was submitting appropriate evidence.

In addition, one room he submitted was a ‘consignment memorandum of service’.

In fact, no matter how unfair the contract was, if the signer’s signature was included, the power was great.

However, Lee Baek-ho was enveloped in deep anxiety.

This is because Tae-hoon adopted evidence that could make the judge clearly aware of the circumstances of the accident, no matter how contracted it was.

Tae-hoon opens the newspaper against it.

“Do you really think the Witnesses have no problem with the facility?”

“Oh, that’s right, I’m the facility manager, so I know better than anyone! I’m even lying!”

“all right. By the way, Witness The interiors around my apartment have been thriving these days. Why?”

“Yeah, because my superiors told me to do it… … .”

“Isn’t it a concern about on-site inspection?”

“Chief Justice, the defense attorney is now conducting an inductive interrogation of the defendant.”

“I admit it. Beware of the plaintiff’s attorney.”

The victory or defeat was tilted only by the one picture that Taehoon had already seen. What was more important in the future was Taehoon’s fight to see how much more he could receive.

Keys enough to ignore the memorandum of service were needed.

“Not long after the accident, the wires were replaced. Can you say that this is not a concern for on-site inspection?”

Tae-Hoon this time showed him a picture he had taken during his first site visit.

He is markedly different from the photos he had previously submitted. The wires were clean and new.

“Isn’t it all in consideration of the lawsuits filed by the victim Lee Kyung-ja’s family?”

“Oh, no, like that.”

“all right.”

He declined to answer, but the judge shook his head.

‘Always one of the plaintiffs and defendants in a civil case is a lie. The defendant is false.’

That was the judge’s decision.

But he kept watching.

It was a witness newspaper for Lee Sae-hwan, a resident of the apartment.

early thirties.

inoccupation.

‘Why do I look like the guy you paid to come to witness?’

Taehyung chuckled. You do everything you can to win. However, in front of a proper defense, he will rather give Taehoon that strength.

I would have told you to grab it.

But it’s not easy.

Witness Lee Sae-hwan said that the welfare was good. He also stated that Hanum construction company employees came out to ask if they were healthy, and that he had seen several people gathering together, such as having a samgyeopsal dinner.

At that, Grandma Um Chun-ja said something.

“XX lol… … You’ve never eaten meat… … .”
