Chapter 96

Lawyer Kang Tae-hoon Episode 096

“As the prosecutor said, the fear of a young boy who could not bear the weight of the crime was expressed. The weight of sin is not light. please. I ask that you be kind, even thinking of the accused and his single mother. That is all.”

“Jurors, please come to the council room. You may all leave this court.”

With the words of the judge, the court personnel rushed out.

In the case of juries, their guides led them to the courtroom.



There was a long table in the council room.

In three seats in the center, the referee judge and the judges on the left and right were seated side by side.

“Jurors, you checked the progress of the trial. Now, please give us your opinion.”

The first to raise their hand at the judge’s words was Juror No. 4, which Tae-Hoon had his eyes on.

“Yes.”

“Does our opinion affect the value of the crime that the accused receives?”

“Unfortunately, in the case of our country, the jury’s innocence and sentence-related choices do not actually make the judge’s decision. But there is some convergence.”

“If we can’t make a choice, why are we doing this kind of participatory trial?”

He was the second jury who runs a health club.

Jur 4 looked at the jury with sharp eyes.

He fitted his crooked glasses.

“At first, I thought he must be a really bad guy when he said he killed his father. But from what I’ve heard, it doesn’t sound like that.”

A few jurors nodded their heads.

As expected by Taehoon, the man took the initiative in the story. He is currently working as a manager at a large corporation.

He has the leadership and persuasion to lead people that much.

6 jury. A middle-aged woman objected.

“But I wonder if it could happen so easily that he killed his father. Could the crime be committed again in the future? It’s been on the news a lot lately. A few rapists commit rape again.”

“It’s true, though. For some reason, I could see a sincere repentance from the accused.”

“Hey, do you know how good you are at lying at that age?”

The number two jury pinched her nose and slapped her on the table.

“Those guys need to be uprooted in the first place. I have to get out of society. Isn’t that why Koreans can’t live comfortably?”

“It’s a bit harsh.”

Juror 4 fixed the glasses.

“Look back at what Juror #2 is saying right now. How is it different from saying that your child has touched someone else’s property because of a wrong momentary choice and someone else stole it, so it should be eradicated from society? The reason we are here now is to pay serious attention to the law and people as citizens and to choose whether to forgive them or not.”

As expected by Tae-Hoon, the man overwhelms the jury and leads the jury with his skillful speech.

“He was fully remorseful. Would you have been able to bear it easily?”

“I… … .”

A woman raised her hand. She is a woman who is believed to be a college student in her early 20s.

She was the one she cried when Taeyeon sang her song.

As everyone’s eyes turned to her, she smiled embarrassedly.

“I’m still young, so I don’t know much about this, but now, at the age of 18, if you spend more than 10 years in prison, you will be 30. Also, my father was ill, so he couldn’t come to that high school graduation ceremony. But he was very upset and embarrassed by it. However, it must have been very difficult for the accused who had a father who did not come because of unavoidable circumstances.”

“Well… … .”Everyone nodded. The words of the woman with the closest age difference to the current defendant were certainly persuasive.

“My personal opinion is that her older brother should be reduced. how are you guys If anyone is against it, please tell me.”

“Reduction is good, but shouldn’t we be a little more careful?”

Several jury members disagreed.

“If the sentence is lowered and you come out and commit another crime, will you take responsibility?”

The second jury said in a muffled voice. He cannot be held responsible.

In the case of Jury No. 2, it seems that he is going to this trial in a dry manner, but he knows what actually depends on this trial.

He was sincere too.

There is no law preventing him from having an accident again if his older brother is exempted.

“I am not a person who works in this field, I am just an ordinary head of the company. He is a few years older than the accused, but he has a son about the same age. The accused is obviously a young student and a murderer, but there are some things that are better than our son.”

Jur 4 tried to persuade the other jurors. The presiding judge looked at him with an interesting expression as he continued to speak to them.

“My son lives like that for a day, two, three days, four days without a dream. That friend had a dream. And it was hard to imagine that the boy who I had wept over at his mother earlier would commit a crime again.”

“I’m going to be sentenced to 10 years in prison right now, but those tears are enough… … .”

“Yes. that’s right. He could have been ordered by a lawyer, or he could have cried on his own. Kids these days are good at lying, as jury #2 said. I don’t even have a son, so I make money for a problem book and school and go out to drink.”

He laughed bitterly.



“But, like what you just said, is there anything else you can point out about the risk of a ‘recurrence of crime’? I don’t seem to be.”

“Why?”

The referee asked with a smile. He became interested in the man.

“There is no father who made him have a difficult childhood, and there is a wonderful mother who raised her son alone without a father. Even her poor circumstances won the lottery. It will be better now.”

The judge nodded. That was convincing enough.

Juror #2 did not question further.

“This court is sentenced to 5 years and 8 months in prison in relation to this ‘Guro-gu father murder case’.”

Taeyeon’s mother’s cries echoed through the courtroom. Taeyeon sighed in relief as if she had relaxed.

“The prosecutor’s office strongly insisted on 11 years and 8 months of murder in relation to this murder case, and although he witnessed a rather unbearable shocking scene as he claimed, it is a cruelty that followed the victim and stabbed him dozens of times. Strict punishment was insisted on for being rude and for punishing my father in the name of murder rather than the law.”

The conversation continued amid everyone’s tension.

“Obviously, his murder was an injustice as it was a surviving murder. However, this court understands that the accused has lived a fatherless life since childhood and felt comfortable without him.”

In the quiet silence, the jury’s eyes turned to one place and waited for the next word.

“Also, the victim came to his family for the first time in years for money and recklessly assaulted the defendant’s biological mother. As a result, the accused committed an accidental crime that he should not have done. Obviously, the guilt of the accused is an unforgivable sin.”

“… … .”

“one. This trial was held as a participatory trial, and the jury said unanimously that it would be lenient. Although. Korean law does not affect the judgment of the jury in this court. I, Judge Kim Eok-soo, also had the same mind. He is sentenced to 5 years and 8 months in prison.”

After reading the verdict, he smiled and looked at the jury.

“With this, this trial ends. Well done to all the jurors.”

clap clap clap-

The jury applauded. The applause started by one person spread like a wave to the other.

In the end, jury 2, who was persuaded by jury 4, also applauded with a confused expression.

Lee Moo-jin sighed deeply and shook his head.

This fight was probably a little more favorable for Tae-Hoon.

Mujin looked at Taehoon and smiled.

Taehoon smiled softly and took a small bow.

One by one, people started to come out.

The jury’s pace was quick. You will want to get out of this damn court as soon as possible.


“Five years. Like the lawyer said, the owner is not married to the older sister, right?”

“maybe?”

“… … If you are married, I will come to you.”

“Hahaha.”

Taehoon laughed awkwardly at his sincere voice. Soon the court inspector comes and grabs his arm.

Hearing her mother’s cries, Taeyeon looked back at Taehoon before leaving the courtroom.

“Lawyer.”

“Huh?”

“thank you.”

“okay.”

Taehoon raised his thumb, revealing his white teeth. Taeyeon also smiled shyly, putting up his thumb.

A person is obviously greatly influenced by his childhood.

There are more criminals with a cause than without a cause.

Maybe all criminals are unfair prisoners.

That’s why lawyers exist.

for those unfortunate prisoners.

time off work. No lawyer was the first to raise a body. He said with a cold smile to the lawyers who didn’t even know what time to leave because they were so absorbed in their work.

“Come on, go to work.”

“Is that time already?”

The lawyers stood up shyly. In the past, when it was time to get off work, I was busy paying attention to Hangi, but these days there is no such thing.

In the case of Tae-Hoon, he was reviewing whether there were any shortcomings in Tae-Yeon’s case, which he finished today.

Taehoon got up and headed home, parked his car and got into a taxi right away.

He had a drink appointment.

He was tired, but Tae-hoon smirked and laughed.

“What good are you doing?”

asked the taxi driver.

Of course, there were reasons for winning today, but there were other reasons as well.

“Yeah, something very good has happened.”

He just smiled and didn’t say the exact words, but the taxi driver smiled and didn’t ask any more questions.

The car stopped and Do-hye was standing in front of the pub they arrived at.

Dohye, who was still standing in the gaze of passersby, welcomed him warmly.

“congratulation. win.”

“thanks.”

“Did you say it was great? He’s also Ahn Do-hye’s boyfriend.”

Do-hye smiled and brushed the dust off her shoulder.

It wasn’t long before the two were waiting in front of the bar.

Two familiar faces were coming to the bar.

One was Kang Min-hoo, a lawyer at Hanmaeum Law Firm.

“Woah- Kang Tae-hoon, lawyer.”

“Are you here?”

“Taehun-ah, congratulations, saying you did a good job today.”

And she is such a woman standing next to him.

Jihye Kim.

The faces of Taehoon and Dohye were full of laughter.

At that time, lawyer Kang Min-hoo and Kim Ji-hye, who were conducting civil lawsuits, became lovers.

Lawyer Kang Min-hoo often made mistakes and was a person with a quirky side.

But it didn’t change the fact that he was a good person. Even with the face of wisdom, she had a different kind of happiness from the face she had seen then.

We went into the bar together.

Had snacks and drinks.

It was a week ago that I heard that the two were dating.

Taehoon and Dohye looked at each other without saying a word and laughed.

Kang Min-hoo scratched the back of his head shyly.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Just, congratulations.”

“Congratulations.”

“Ah, ha ha. Go, thank you.”

He said congratulations, but when Dohye and Taehoon narrowed their eyes and looked at them with sinister gazes, he couldn’t hide the burden.

One, two, three, four, four drinks started coming in.

Taehoon and Minhoo blinked and cautiously got up.

“In addition?”

“no. Like that hahaha.”

“My nose is as good as Harry’s.”

As Min-hoo laughed awkwardly, Ji-hye licked her nose.

“only once… … .”

“Wisdom is also a scoundrel. Hoho, it’s about one. How are you?”

“Ugh, why do you like things that are bad for your body so much?”

Wisdom shook her head.

She barely got her consent and she went out.

Taehoon stepped out and looked at the two of them through the glass wall. Two people talking happily will be cursing themselves.

Min-hoo smirked as he exhaled cigarette smoke.

“You can have surgery.”
