[단독]Jung-in opens his mouth to her adoptive wife, “What can I say…sorry”

“What can I say. I have nothing to say except to say sorry.”
While the criticism of Jung In-i’s adoptive parents who died from child abuse was fierce, Jung In-i’s adoptive father, Mr. A, repeated the words “sorry” in a trembling voice. A said in a phone call with a reporter who had a difficult connection on the night of the 5th, “It is not a situation where we can have an interview at all, and every word is careful.” “The child did that, but what can I say? I have nothing to say except to say sorry.”

Mr. A’s coworkers knew him as a “person with good personality.” Even in the profile picture posted on his social media account, Mr. A’s couple was plain and friendly.

It is said that the acquaintances of Mr. A who learned of the’Jeong-in-i case’ were in shock. A colleague of Mr. A said, “I was a calm and homely person,” he said. “Everyone knows as a person who likes children and takes care of a sensitive wife, but after the incident, everyone was very surprised. But I wonder if we could have really not known what happened in the house.”

In October of last year, when the child died, the company excluded Mr. A from his job and placed him on standby. It is reported that Mr. A first submitted a resignation letter before the company dismissed his dismissal on the 5th. A couple is also suspected of adopting Jeong In-i because of a loan to purchase a home. Regarding this, Mr. A’s acquaintance said that Mr. A seemed to have had a strong sense of adoption from the past. “It seemed to be learned after adoption that the amount of loan varies depending on the number of families.”

Mr. A said to the reporter, “I am only sorry for the company. Many people have suffered because of me.” Regarding the question of whether there is anything different from the facts among the suspicions about Mr. A, he hung up the phone, saying, “There is no current situation, so neither the broadcast nor the articles are properly viewed. I am sorry.”

In December of last year, the Women and Children’s Crime Investigation Department (Prosecutor Lee Jeong-woo), the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office, handed over Mr. A to trial in a state of disregard for abandonment and neglect. When the trial begins, there is a possibility that Mr. A’s parents will be sentenced to imprisonment after protective measures against their parents and arrested.

“I was prosecuted as a helper because my father didn’t know, but the crime was bad,” said Do Jin-ki, a former chief judge. “Because it is not to be ordered, it is expected that after the parent-child is entrusted, the sentence will be arrested.” She also pointed out, “If you are prosecuted with child abuse lethality, you will be unconditionally guilty, but whether it is a punishment that corresponds to a crime is another matter. It seems that the prosecution of such a case as a child abuse lethal, not a murder, seems to be the convenience of the investigative agency. .
