Chapter 27 Public Participation Trial

I didn't get anything big today. But fortunately, I could see that the wall of my heart was not as high as I thought.

First of all, I had to focus on breaking down that wall of my mind. In the case of a participatory trial, if the accused does not follow, it becomes very difficult.

If the jury is sitting and the accused looks at them with trembling legs, wouldn't it be a shame to say, 'You should be executed for such a bastard!'

The first thing that should be given priority is to break down Kim Tae-yeon's wall.

* * *

Tae-hoon went to the psychiatrist and explained to the doctor what he was doing and asked how he should do it. Tae-hoon visited Tae-yeon every day and was annoyed.

He did not talk about the incident, mainly playing and chatting with him.

He had been looking for him for a week, and now he started to smile gradually.

“Uh-huh, what is that?”

“Oh, I can’t believe this kid.”

At his absurd laugh, Taehoon looked like his self-esteem had been severely damaged.

“You nigga, when I was in high school, there were about 500 girls in the entire school?”

He said, spreading out all five of his fingers.

“Of those, 400 were always in front of our classroom. Don't you know why?"

"why?"

“You will come to see me.”

“Fuck!”

Taeyeon openly laughed at Taehoon. Where is he lying? But Taehyung did not back down.

“What? don't you believe On Pepero Day, peperos piled up like a mountain in our classroom, and on Valentine’s Day, chocolate piled up.”

“Lawyer. You were the king of chairs.”

“I’m not envious of the King of Chairs, man.”

Taehyung said with an equal momentum. He looked at him with an absurd laugh.

“Are you kidding me about what I’m talking about?”

“Then isn’t it funny? What kind of fantasy novel is it that 400 women are standing in front of a classroom?”

“Are you tea?”

“Yes, it costs a lot.”

“Ok.”

Taehoon scratched the back of his head. Taeyeon smirked. I wondered what kind of lawyer could lie like this.

Sometimes I felt like a comfortable older brother.

“You don’t like anyone?”

A small darkness passed over Taeyeon's face at his question.

He was silent for a moment.

Taehyung's eyes lit up. Maybe it was because he didn't know that there might be a way to greatly break down his wall.

“There is someone I want to meet.”

"okay?"

Taehyung listened to him.

* * *

Taehoon stood in front of the convenience store and went inside. After entering the convenience store and looking around, he eventually stood in front of the counter with nothing in his hand.

“A pack of Marlboro lights, please.”

"Yes."

He glanced at the woman's face. remarkably pretty She was a woman who did not think she was. She was so small that she was about 153 cm tall.

She was a modest woman. She was, however, a woman with a charm that aroused a protective instinct.

“Why don’t you check your resident registration card?”

"Yes? Ho Ho."Taehoon's mischievous joke made her smile and shut her mouth.

“You know Kim Tae-yeon, right?”

“Are you Taeyeon? Yes."

A part-time worker at a convenience store. Lee Joo-in nodded her head when she saw her familiar name. She was worried that she didn't look good and she didn't contact her.

When the man in front of her brought out his name, she was very puzzled.

“I am in jail now.”

"Yes?"

Her eyes widened at the word detention center. Tae-hoon began to explain the self-inflicted kind.

The more she did, the more her face hardened, and the dewdrops in her eyes, as if she were about to burst into tears.

“How come… … .”

She couldn't keep up with her any longer.

To Lee Joo-in, Tae-yeon is her younger sister. To Taeyeon, Lee Joo-in was her first love.

Her first start wasn't very pleasant.

Taeyeon, who came to her convenience store to buy her cigarettes, held out a forged ID card in front of her and she noticed it.

‘If you don’t give it, don’t!’

Taeyeon exclaimed. She thought only she hurriedly had to get out of the convenience store. It was because she would be in trouble if a part-timer reported her for nothing.

But, unexpectedly, the part-timer brought her strawberry milk that she was about to drink and her identification card.

‘Tobacco is bad for you. And I’ll take a look at you this time.’

It was after that.

When Taeyeon finished school, she came to the convenience store. She stays at the convenience store until late at night, and then she drives her home late at night just in time for her to leave work.

She also prayed that on the one hand she was Taeyeon because she didn't want to go into the house. She's snotted, but every time she enters the one-room two-room house, her breath gets choked up.

Every time she saw her mother coming into her house tired and tired from work, she would get angry with her heart for nothing.

She liked being at her convenience store with her so she didn't want to go into her house even more.

She was embarrassed when her Taeyeon came frequently, but she always greeted me with a smile. She sometimes shared foods like triangular gimbap and sandwiches that she had past her expiration date.

Her first love didn't start with anything great.

One strawberry milk she offered. Because of this, Taeyeon, who now has the name of her murderer, fell in love with her.

Tae-hoon finally saw Lee Ju-in covering his face with tears streaming down his face.

* * *

Taeyeon entered the meeting room with a puzzled expression on her face. She looked quite different from when she interviewed Taehoon. The owner was sitting on the chair and Taehoon watched from behind her.

nodded-

She grinned as Taeyeon bowed her head to her master and scratched the back of her head.

“Are you in pain?”

"Yes."

"rice is?"

“I ate. Three meals a day is fine.”

"thank God."

There was a conversation between the two of them, big and small. Taehyung watched him from behind.

Taeyeon's face showed a different smile than when she talked to herself.

The smile she made while talking with herself was a smile that Taehoon forced.

But that smile as she talked with the owner was boiling in her chest.

* * *

“Is the owner that good?”

Taehyung scratched the back of his head as if he was indifferent to Taehoon's question. He smiled and decided to start tearing down the wall in earnest.

wall with cracks. One hit with a hammer and it will collapse quickly.

“In 15 years, the owner will get married, have children, and live happily ever after, right? The homicide could be up to 15 years or longer.”

Taeyeon didn't answer.

“And five years. Five years from now, you will be 23 and the owner will be 25.”

Taeyeon, who did not understand the word 5 years, had a puzzled expression on her face.

“If you trust me and follow me, I can help you as much as possible so that I can receive 5 years. if you just follow me Isn't there a chance of winning in 5 years? Then maybe after the owner gets married?”

Taehyung laughed bitterly. Taeyeon still didn't answer.

“And why don’t you see your mother? Let's meet her."

"no, I do not want."

He shook his head and said strongly.

"Why?"

“Why am I dating that stupid person!”

“Why is your mother so stupid?”

"She's married to such a strange person, so it's stupid. I'm stupid because I gave birth to a bastard like me again, but isn't it stupid to come to meet such a bastard?"

“That is the mother of this world.”

Taeyeon's eyes trembled at Taehyung's words.

Who is the strongest lawyer in the world?

Who graduated from the best law school in the world?

A lawyer with a 100% win rate recognized by the media?

No, no. The strongest lawyer in the world was her mother.

She is the only person who will be by his side no matter what mistakes her child commits, no matter what others point out, and everyone turns their backs on her.

She is a more capable lawyer than any other. Mother.

All mothers in the world are more capable lawyers than anyone else.

“Your mother misses you very much. Huh?"

On the other hand, Taeyeon will have fears. She killed her mother's husband. And now he's been labeled as a 'murderer'.

The thought of meeting his mother made his chest choke and frightened him.

A small sigh escaped Taeyeon's mouth.

* * *

Seeing Taeyeon entering the meeting room, his mother laughed hard. She picked up her receiver with her trembling hands as he sat down.

“Why is my son’s face turned in half? Have you eaten?”

"Huh."

Taeyeon pretends nothing is wrong. He answered in an indifferent voice as usual.

“Are you sleeping?”

“Good job.”

“Who doesn’t bother?”

“Am I a kid?”

Taeyeon said bluntly. Mother nodded her head. Big and small stories kept coming and going.

And in his mother's words, Taeyeon pulled something up from his chest.

“Mom, Mom is fine.”

“What's okay? I killed my mother and husband! I am the son of the bastard who killed her father!”

"it's okay. Mom, you just need our son.”

Taeyeon bit his lips at her words. It was because of Taeyeon that her husband endured even though it was difficult after leaving the house.

He looked at him and quietly walked forward.

It was not easy to face that a son killed her husband, even with the name of mother.

However, he was his only blood and the only person he had to protect.

“It’s okay, you idiot!”

In the end, Taeyeon let out his hidden fear and burst into tears.

A young 18-year-old boy tried to hide it, but he couldn't hide it.

“Mom, I’m sorry. Black! It's my fault."“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Mom is still fine. she was saying Taehoon slowly opened the door and came out.

He put a cigarette into his mouth.

A mother who sees her son. The son that the mother sees.

It will all be difficult.

It was his job to ease the hardship himself.

* * *

Preparations for public participation in the trial began in earnest. What was needed most was consensus.

In the case of ordinary people, they are more focused on the law as a human being than the law enforcement officials.

In other words, they had a sympathy for them, a motive to kill them. It was said that they might turn around by the claim.

“Do I really have to do this?”

“Yeah, you have to. with this alone. Maybe it will win the hearts of all the jurors.”

Taehoon put on a smile of conversion.

The only thing Kim Tae-yeon has. He was planning to use it.

It will depend on how well you use it.

* * *

It was selection day.

The selection date means that the court randomly selects candidates for the jury, then calls the candidates on the selection date, and the presiding judge asks a basic question.

After that, prosecutors and lawyers ask the jury candidates the reasons for disqualification or refusal.

Otherwise, it is possible to apply for a no-reason challenge by examining whether there is a risk of making an unfair judgment and evading and excluding the candidate for the juror.

In other words, the court may not select a juror candidate as a juror when a challenge request is made because a certain number of juror candidates can be challenged without giving reasons to the public prosecutor and lawyer.

In addition, the number of final jurors is divided according to the sentence of the case.

It is divided according to the death penalty, life imprisonment, and imprisonment for life, and there are nine jury candidates for the death penalty life imprisonment and imprisonment for life.

In other cases, it is usually 7 people. And if the accused or the defense admitted the important facts of the charges, it was likely to proceed with five people.

The jury candidates were seated in the auditorium of the courtroom.

Many of them showed signs of discomfort.

It was natural because it was selected at random. On the other hand, there were also those who seemed nervous.

Soon the inspector came inside.

He was a prosecutor.

He is a prosecutor who has an acquaintance with Tae-hoon.

When Taehoon was a university student, that is, when he was solving the human rights issue for the disabled, he was a prosecutor who asked for the case, and he was also a prosecutor who overcame it nicely.

Eventually, he became a well-known prosecutor, and even when Lee Moo-jin saw Tae-hoon, then he was an infinitely young student, but now that he has become a proud lawyer, his mood has changed.

"long time no see."

“Yes, how have you been?”

"then. We will meet like this.”

“In court, it’s just in court. It’s different outside.”

Taehyung smiled embarrassedly at his words.

Lee Moo-jin nodded his head.

That was right.

All you have to do is fight to get what each other wants.

Only the defeated person drinks strong liquor.

The judge entered.

The judge threw a small joke to the candidates for the jury, who had a strong sense of frustration.

Jury candidates are completely anonymous.

That's why it's called a candidate several times.

“Let me start with a question.”

As the jury system was attended by the general public, the word “beginning” showed tension in the jury candidates.
