Lawyer Kang Tae-hoon Episode 095

'I'm sorry.'

‘That… … Tsutsui... … .'

Taeyeon's face showed strong concern for her mother. If she takes more than 11 years out of here, her mother will be even more decrepit.

Although she will win the lottery and 1st prize her mother will.

But life without children.

There will be no such pain.

‘Good.’

It was not directed by Taehoon. Taeyeon's concerns about her mother were passed on to the jury.

She came to Tae-Hoon with a great opportunity.

However, there was one difficulty.

It was a very big mountain to climb.

It is said that a witness for Taeyeon's homeroom teacher when she was in her first year of high school and currently working as a hagwon instructor for a teaching position is being applied for.

The man in his early thirties, who was still young, stepped forward.

After taking the oath, he began examining the witnesses.

“Was he a conscientious student when he was a witness during his freshman year of high school?”

“He was far from a conscientious student.”

Reason for requesting witness.

As much as Tae-hoon is trying to lower the sentence by drawing a consensus, in Lee’s case, he is trying to inform the jury that he was a bad student, so that he knows that there are usually enough risk factors.

“Then what kind of student was he?”

“He was a friend who went a little farther than the right life.”

The homeroom teacher glanced at Kim Tae-yeon.

He had no choice but to attend because he himself was asked to witness.

He didn't find it very pleasant to stand in court when a friend he had played just a year ago was charged with murder.

It was embarrassing to even lie to him to defend him.

Therefore, answer the truth to the prosecutor's answer.

“For example.”

“He was hanging out with bad friends, and he was shown smoking.”

"i See. As above, it is proven that the defendant was a bad student at school before the incident took place. It would be natural for my former homeroom teacher to know better than anyone else.”

The jury nodded.

Problems related to school violence, and in the case of adults these days, they were quite displeased with the misunderstanding of their young friends.

However, the fact that Taeyeon was such a student was enough to give an antipathy factor.

“Do you want to cross-examine the defendant?”

"Yes."

Taehyung stepped forward.

“The witness alleges that the accused smoked and hung out with bad friends.”"Yes."

“Specifically, what kind of problem did the accused, who is a bad student, caused by the witnesses?”

The man thought for a moment at the question.

He said, “I came to the student department because of a smoking problem at school, and I was often late. He also said he couldn't sleep in class and his grades weren't good. He also hangs out with bad friends.”

“Could you be more specific?”

At Tae-hoon's question, the witness kept her mouth shut.

It is true that he is a bad student, but that doesn't mean he doesn't present any problems at school.

“Currently, prosecutors are claiming that the accused was a bad student. That's right, the youth smoked, hung out with bad friends and maybe a bad boy.”

Tae-hoon scatters the jury once.

“However, I think the prosecutors are exaggerating and accusing them of being a bad student.”

Lee Moo-jin's gaze was felt, but Tae-hoon turned away.

“Defendant has never acted in a manner that would clearly raise issues at school. He was not involved in school violence or extorted money from his classmates. is not it?"

“It is.”

The witness nodded his head.

“When the jury hears the word ‘bad student’, they will interpret it in various ways. If it were me, when I heard the mention of being a bad student, I would think something like this. They bully their classmates, extort money, and confront their teachers. Was the defendant such a student?”

“It wasn’t that far.”

“As you can see, I think it might be a bit exaggerated. Also, it is dangerous to conclude that you are a bad student simply because you smoke.”

At Taehoon's words, the jury nodded their heads. Surely, in the prosecutor's newspaper, they had fifty thousand thoughts on just the word 'bad student'.

To the extent that these days' TVs are constantly illuminating bad students, the field of thinking about them has come out radically.

Taehoon's witness came forward.

The place where Taeyeon currently lives was a house. The second floor was Taeyeon's house and the first floor was the owner's house.

“Can you tell me about the defendant whom the witness saw?”

“He’s a very sad kid. Her mom has to make money too, so she's not at home, and she comes home late at night. Still, he was a bright kid. He got caught a few times while smoking and he scolded me. Still, in such a world, shouldn't I have grown up to be that pretty?"

"i See. What the witness saw was that the defendant wasn't such a bad kid.”

“Okay, the bad thing is the kid’s dad. It's been over 10 years since Taeyeon's family came to the second floor, and before he left, how noisy it was every day. When she left, she almost thought that Taeyeon was lucky for her mother and her baby.”

"That is all."

Taehoon looked around the jury. They were only nodding their heads.

The prosecution's counter-interview continued.

“Is there any fact that you have been harmed by the witness, the accused?”

“Avoid… … Occasionally, electricity and boiler bills were delayed.”

“Witness, please tell me the damage you did directly, not that part.”

It was the judge's words.

She thought for a moment, she said.

"do not have."

It was natural to say that there was no. Anyway, she was a woman who had lived with them for 10 years.

She wouldn't feel the need to say it herself.

The public participation trial continued.

* * *

final argument.

“It is true that the accused had a rather unfortunate childhood, as the defense counsel of the accused claims. But, dear Judge, and the jury. If at that time the accused had endured only one time, his father would be alive. Also, the defendant probably wouldn't have been in court.”

He was calm and seasoned.

“Also, there are a lot of killings of survivors in Korea these days. It is a fact that a light sentence may build public distrust. It is a position that should be severely punished.”

Prosecutor Lee Moo-jin sat down.

I still didn't know what the jury's mindset was.

Taehoon got up.

“Dear Judge, and jury members. Do you remember what I told you earlier?”

“What are you talking about?”

The judge looked puzzled.

“Taeyeon was definitely a boy with many dreams, and that dream was to become a singer.”

It's a dream that most kids these days have. Taehyung looked at Taeyeon.

“I want to show the jury and the judge the dream of this dreamy boy, even if it is small.”

“I want to ask you exactly what you are talking about.”

The judge was also puzzled. Taehoon smiled and took his speaker out of his bag.

“It’s just singing.”

“Chief Judge, I think singing in court is a difficult part to admit. Also, it is an act that obscures the issue of this trial as it has nothing to do with this trial.”

“Does this obscure the issue of this trial? What is the issue of this trial that the prosecutor is talking about?”

“Forgive or not, maybe.”

"Yes. Forgive and not forgive. This is the issue of this trial, the reason for the participatory trial, and the significance of the trial. The dream that the defendant, who was a boy, had now has completely disappeared. It's not just a dream, now you will lose all your friends, no one else. Shouldn't the defendant be given a chance to sing at least once?"

Taehoon said to the jury. They nodded.

‘It’s a song once… … .'

‘What’s so difficult about that?’

Rather, the jury did not understand the prosecution's argument. Lawyers emphasize the sanctity of the courts.

It also appears occasionally in dramas.

‘What are you doing in the Sacred Court!’

They have the stereotype that the courts are sacred.

But the courts decide the truth, and it's the place to decide whether to forgive or not. This is not a place for sanctity.

Give me that dog.

The judge was somewhat embarrassed by the idea of ​​having him sing. But the jurors were nodding their heads.

“… … I admit it.”

"thank you."

Taehyung smiled softly.

He connected the wire from his speaker to the cell phone.it was not long after

The melody began to flow.

Taeyeon looked at her mother.

‘You have to do well. Only then can we win.’

The biggest number Taehoon thought.

it was a song Songs stimulate people's emotions the most. In addition. Now, in this court, the jury's judgment may be different with just one paper difference.

If it was from the lawyers, it would have been an exception.

However, the general public will most likely try to match Taeyeon's eye level.

The flowing music was a familiar melody to everyone in the courtroom.

I deliberately chose music that everyone in the court knew well.

It was a song called 'Dream'.

Taeyeon turned to her mother.

She couldn't take her eyes off him with her nervous look.

Taeyeon smiled a little.

I had a dream-

The song started. In the quiet courtroom, only Taeyeon's voice and the melody in the small speaker were spreading.

“Great.”

"Well."

Taeyeon's singing skills were top-notch. It was considerable. It was surprising that she was self-taught.

His song, his thoughts of his mother, his dreams, his youth, and everything he will live in the future spread through the song.

… … is it so. I have a dream-

The voice reminded some of the jurors of his sad days. He envisioned the future.

It will be a very dark and difficult road.

A college student in her twenties was crying with red eyes.

The song is over.

Taeyeon couldn't control that feeling in the end.

“Help, please, please… … I don't want to be away from my mom for long. please!"

“Presiding Judge, the defendant is emotionally guiding the jury!”

With tears in his eyes and a mournful voice, Lee Moo-jin got up violently.

“I admit it. Please calm down.”

But the crying did not stop easily.

Now, only Taehoon's final argument needs to be continued.

Taehoon got up.

“Do you think it’s emotionally inducing? Maybe it is. But the judge, the jury. I don't think this is normal. The accused is now only 18! He's just a little boy who doesn't know the world yet. Is it strange for a boy like that to cry?”

“The price of sin has no weight.”

"Yes. However, the accused is deeply remorseful and also!”

Taehoon looked at the jury seat with bitter eyes.
