In connection with the 16-month-old Jung In-i case, who died after 271 days of adoption due to abuse of adoptive parents, it is reported that the prosecution is listening to the opinions of forensic experts as to whether there are circumstances in which the prosecution can apply the murder charge.
According to prosecutors on the 4th, the Women and Children’s Criminal Investigation Department at the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office requested a re-evaluation of the cause of the death of Jung In Yang, who died last month by three professional autopsies.
Earlier, the prosecution indicted the mother-in-law, mother-in-law last month, and wrote only charges such as child abuse, lethality, child abandonment and neglect, not murder. In order to apply the crime of murder, it is necessary to prove that the perpetrator had a clear intention to kill the victim, and that it exerted the power to cause death, because the prosecution judged that the vocation was insufficient.
It was investigated that Jung In-yang died of abdominal damage caused by a strong shock applied to the back so that the pancreas broke. However, it is not clear how exactly this impact was applied to the wool.
The prosecution plans to determine the exact details of the death of Jung In-yang through a reappraisal. However, although it is difficult to clarify the truth of the cause of the’back shock’, the prosecution’s judgment is that if the degree of the shock applied is determined to be due to intentional or unwritten intentions, the crime of murder can be established.
Therefore, there is also an open possibility that the prosecution will apply the crime of murder to Mr. Jang by requesting the court to change the complaint according to the result of the reappraisal.
It is analyzed that it is possible to apply the crime of murder in the legal profession. Lee Soo-yeon, public affairs director of the Korean Women’s Bar Association, told Yonhap News, “When you look at the degree of damage to a child who has died, it seems that it is possible to predict an objective,’If this is the case, the child may die’.” Even if it does, it is possible to fully admit unwritten and intentional murder.
If a murder charge is applied to Mr. Jang, the basic sentence is 10 to 16 years according to the Supreme Court sentencing criteria. On the other hand, in the case of child abuse fatalities, the standard of sentencing is relatively low, with a basic 4-7 years and a weighted 6-10 years.
