Attorney Kang Tae-hoon

Lawyer Kang Tae-Hoon Episode 088

After the police completed the investigation, the case was, of course, forwarded to the prosecution. In other words, it was the fact that the case was assigned to Ahn Do-hye.

Tae-Hoon was at Ahn Do-Hye's office.

“There was such a thing. Ah. Those bastards have to hang on to me, and then I can just make a bowl of rice.”

Since the office was close, Beomhyun came to play as soon as he heard that Taehoon had arrived.

Dohye asked bluntly, looking at him as he opened his nogari for a long time.

“Aren’t you working?”

“Why don’t we just play? I'm tired of working and I'm going to die... … .”

Before the words could be finished, the door opened.

The person who opened the door was an investigator from Beomhyun's office.

“Are you kidding here again, Prosecutor Lee? Every day is far away!”

“Ahahaha… … .”

Bumhyun laughed awkwardly.

Beom-hyeon was dragged along by the investigator who soon became angry.

There was a look on his face that said, 'I don't want to work!'

“Prosecutor Lee and Inspector Kim are a perfect match.”

The investigator and the chief of the Dohye office talked to see if this happened often. Taehyung chuckled.

He was shortly thereafter.

A man with a pale face entered the office.

Behind him was a well-dressed lawyer.

Dohye and Taehoon's eyes frowned as they looked at the lawyer.

As if he had committed a mortal sin, Kim Seong-hoon was unconditionally saying, 'I'm sorry.'

“Yeah, I really didn’t mean to do that… … .”

Taehyung took a deep breath.

The court would reduce his sentence to some extent if he acknowledging his guilt and showing signs of remorse.

If the prosecutor also showed such a sign, he was bound to lower his sphere a little.

Perhaps this figure is Kim Seong-hoon's 'pretense' created by a lawyer.

“According to the victim's statement, it was confirmed that it was a habitual assault. Is that correct?"

When habitual assault was recognized, the sentence was considerably larger than that of simple assault.

“It’s habitual assault. That's the story of how many times I hit Wisdom... … .”

It was the moment when Sunghoon's embarrassing words were about to continue. Dohye and Taehoon were looking forward to it.

If he denied it, it was because he was thinking of raising the prison sentence under the pretext of 'it's a shame'.

However, the lawyer's hand was placed on Sunghoon's shoulder.

“Is there any clear evidence of habitual assault? Otherwise, if it is the plaintiff’s claim, I think it has enough potential to cause problems.”

The lawyer adjusted his crooked glasses.

‘Oh, let’s try this.’

Kim Seong-hoon was a former businessman. He was once a very good yangban man. Now, his business has failed and he has nothing left to dispose of because of debt, but at one time he was a middle-class person with assets exceeding 3 billion won.

Because of that, he seemed to have hired a lawyer whose hands were outstretched at the time.Clear. Those words were a bit confusing.

It was because there was no injury certificate of the person being assaulted at the time.

But Dohye smiled softly.

“The police conducted an investigation based on the neighbors before the transfer. Day by day, there was the sound of a dog barking and a woman crying. She secured the statement that Also, this is CCTV footage.”

She escaped as she threw the tape in front of him.

Her lawyer looked at her with her eerie expression on her face.

“What kind of material is it?”

“Well, before getting into the car, would it be a violent movie in which the assailant slaps the victim in the face and crumples them into the car?”

Dohye raised one tail of her mouth and smiled.

The lawyer coughed lightly, and Kim Sung-hoon's eyes trembled.

“Isn’t that habitual assault?”

“… … sorry."

‘Good.’

In the end, seeing Kim Seong-hoon agreeing, Tae-hoon and Do-hye called for joy inside. Both wanted to give Kim Seong-hoon as strong a ball as possible.

“And do you admit that the victim’s property, the blind guide dog, was brutally beaten with a baseball bat?”

This time, Sunghoon closed his mouth.

was the right to remain silent.

“I can’t admit it.”

The lawyer shook his head and smiled absurdly.

Then he showed the bandage wrapped around Kim's left hand.

“Rather, the act was in self-defense to protect his own body. In addition, according to Article 8(4) of the Animal Protection Act, killing without justifiable grounds prescribed by Ordinance of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is prohibited, such as damage to human life, body, and property caused by animals. It is said. Wasn't that justified?"

What the lawyer is claiming is that the dog bit a person, so it was a natural thing to do to protect his body.

“It is different from the victim’s statement. It is true that dogs bite the assailant. But apparently the victim's dog said 'Don't bite!' and I know he stopped the attack."

“How are you so sure about that? Isn’t it just an assumption based on the victim’s words?”

The lawyer smiled.

The voice that skillfully digs into was quite sharp.

“Did your dog stop biting?”

The lawyer placed his hand on Sunghoon's shoulder.

“Stop it. He kept biting me like he was going to kill me, so I thought I would die after biting like this, so I hit him with a nearby baseball bat. Even if I hit him with a baseball bat, he wouldn’t let me go, so he kept hitting me.”

“Did you hear that?”

Do-hye and Tae-hoon's faces were distorted.

According to Jihyo's statement, Harry let go of his arm with the words "Stop it," and Seong-hoon deliberately brought a baseball bat from the front door and assaulted him, not the baseball bat that was next to him.

“Is the human body important? Or is the dog’s body important?”

There was a small sneer in the lawyer's words.

Dohye replied bluntly.

“Then you are saying that you are denying the crime of property damage.”

“Yes, I partially deny the allegations.”

The lawyer nodded his head.

Dohye stopped tapping her laptop for a moment.

A small sigh escaped her unconsciously.

It didn't end there.

“And the owner of the dog was clearly the victim. The act of a dog biting and injuring a person is probably not enough to cause a problem.”

In other words, they will prepare themselves for a lawsuit related to this part.

“It will depend on whether or not that fact is recognized in this trial.”

“It would be.”

The lawyer crossed his arms and smiled brightly.

Behind that smile was a strong sense of confidence.

“Did you know that the UK is pushing for a law amendment this time?”

He brought up a story like a floating cloud.

“It is said that the punishment for the owner in the event of a human injury caused by a dog will be strengthened from the current maximum of two years to the maximum of life imprisonment. Korea is no exception.”

He smiled as he crossed his legs.

“There are a lot of crazy dogs running around these days. He said that guide dogs for the blind are no exception.”

The cypher blade seemed to be aimed at the two of them.

Taehoon and Dohye's faces were greatly distorted.

As Kim Seong-hoon and the lawyer went out, a smile appeared on the faces of the lawyer and then disappeared.

* * *

Hearing Do-hye's words, Ji-hye looked surprised.

“I could be on trial,” she said. … ?”

“If the charge of property damage is not recognized at this trial, a lawsuit will come in reverse. Of course, it's not that we don't believe what you said, but it's 'evidence' to support the argument of the most important party in the trial. But there is no evidence itself.”

Following Dohye's words, Taehoon let out a voice mixed with sighs.

“When I said that a lawyer was an unusual person, he said that he had a more splendid career than I thought. Kang Chul-min is a lawyer, and he served as a judge not long ago.”

“All-in-one... … .”

“It’s a fucking situation.”

Courtesy of Jeongwan was obviously the same as corruption in the immoral legal world. For this reason, the Attorney Act was amended in 2011 and it was amended so that judges, etc., were not allowed to take on cases where they had worked for more than one year prior to retirement for one year at the time of starting a lawyer.

As a result, the Korean Bar Association was able to self-discipline those who were treated with full civil service, but there are very few cases of actual disciplinary action.

In addition, the severity of the punishment is rather mild, and there has been controversy over its effectiveness to this day.

It means that Jeon-gwan-yeo is still not disappearing.

No matter how much work is blocked for a certain period of time at the place where you work, in the end, there is a tendency to give more superior preferential treatment to those who said, 'Senior, junior,' that people are human beings. It is an unavoidable mentality.

“Maybe it really means that the court can lead Kim Seong-hoon to his advantage rather than us.”

At Tae-hoon's words, Ji-hye lost her words and smiled in despair.

“It’s the law. it's wisdom Sometimes it’s sweet, sometimes it’s bitter.”

Taehoon said a little comforting word.

“We need to reinforce the evidence in order to be as favorable to us as possible.”

“We will do our best.”

Taehoon spoke to her in a soft voice, as if sympathizing with Dohye's words.

She smiled hard.When Taehoon came out to smoke, Dohye followed.

“Give me one too.”

"Really?"

“It’s a joke.”

At Taehoon's words, she looked up and down, as if she couldn't tell the difference between the joke and the seriousness. Taehyung laughed out loud.

“How can we take it to our advantage?”

At Do-hye's question, Tae-hoon exhaled her cigarette smoke into the air.

After a moment's silence, thoughts ran through their minds.

“Is there any precedent for a blind guide dog attacking a person in Korea?”

“Well, the case of guide dogs for the blind seems unfamiliar.”

Tae-hoon shook her head at Do-hye's question.

The two of them stared at each other in the air.

Taehyung quickly puts out his cigarette and goes back inside.

He began searching through his computer for information on guide dogs for the blind.

Fortunately, there have been no accidents involving guide dogs for the blind in Korea.

If there was, there was a case where a person assaulted a guide dog rather than a guide dog, and Tae-Hoon and Do-Hye frowned when they saw the article.

The assault on a guide dog by a blind person was said to have been 'dirty' and kicked, but he was acquitted.

At that time, the court had enough room to feel physically and mentally threatened by the dog, and for that reason, the parties themselves were kicked in self-defense. admitted the claim.

“Okay… … .”

“Still, there have been no cases of damage to guide dogs for the blind in Korea. How about digging into this as the main focus?”

It was Taehoon's words at Dohye's shallow moan.

“How?”

“You meet a guide dog trainer and prove to the court that guide dogs are not dangerous.”

“Hmm.”

Dohye caressed her chin.

It could not be said that it was a big shot in probability, but now, small possibilities and trivial things that could change the judgment of the court were felt as precious.

“It’s Jaehee. Where did you get Harry?”

“Harry was brought from Inseong Guide Dog School.”

“… … Operated by Inseong Fire & Marine?”

"Huh."

Taehyung laughed bitterly. It was one of the branches of Inseong Enterprises.

Inseong Enterprises had an unpleasant conflict with Tae-Hoon, but it was true that they were the largest enterprises in Korea.

Inseong Corporation, which has some degree of global recognition, is reaching out to various fields, and Inseong Fire & Marine Insurance is the same.

In retrospect, it was none other than Inseong Enterprises that educated and disseminated guide dogs for the blind most actively in Korea.

In fact, it was said that there are dirty parts, but on the other hand, it is a huge company to have clean parts.

In the case of Tae-hoon, there was no big resentment in regards to the case of Inseong Corporation's semiconductor business.

“Let’s go.”

"Yes."

The two nodded their heads.
