There are demands to apply murder charges to Jung In-yang’s adoptive parents, who died short of 271 days after being adopted. Last year, the Supreme Court convicted of murder to a man in his 40s who killed a teacher with the same symptoms as Jung In-yang.

According to the prosecution on the 4th, the cause of Jung In-yang’s death was’abdominal damage caused by external force’. It was investigated that he died from damage to organs such as the small intestine, large intestine, and pancreas, as well as abdominal damage such as intraperitoneal bleeding. In particular, experts paid attention to cutting the pancreas. Professor Jeong Kyung-won of Ajou University’s Trauma Surgery Department told SBS’I want to know that’, saying, “The pancreas is in the back of our stomach organs.” “In order to penetrate the front organs and transmit the power to the pancreas, a momentary external force must reach the spine. “

In an experiment conducted by the broadcast crew to speculate the degree of assault that would have been done to Jung In-yang, it was found that a woman with a physique similar to the mother-in-law of wool had to put a cushion on the floor and jump off the sofa in order to obtain a physical force level enough to rupture the pancreas. .

However, Jang was handed over to trial on charges of child abuse and fatality. Child abuse lethality is applied when a child is accidentally killed, although there is no intention of murder. In order to be convicted of homicide, it must be proved that the mother had the intention of killing Jung In-yang, or at least had the idea that “if you hit it like this, you could die,” but that she violated her.

Child abuse lethality and murder show a big difference in sentencing. The Supreme Court’s sentencing committee recommends a basic sentence of 4 to 7 years in case of child abuse death. On the other hand, for the murder of minors, the default is 20 years or more in prison, and life imprisonment may be imposed. If the weighting factor is recognized, it is possible to sentence the death penalty to more than weapons.

In this regard, the first part of the Supreme Court (Presidential Judge Park Jeong-hwa) confirmed the court case sentenced to 30 years in prison for Kim Mo (48), who was handed over to trial for assaulting and killing A (27), an elementary school female teacher last year. Mr. Kim claimed to be “a person who listens to the voice of God” from his high school alumni and those he met at church, and it turned out that he received money in the name of donation and covered his living expenses. In particular, Mr. A was intensively beaten for not following his instructions, and died from rupture of the pancreas and bleeding in the abdominal cavity.

Mr. Kim insisted in the court that “the assault and murder were accidental,” but the judge admitted to the unwritten intentions of the murder, saying, “They made a severe assault to the point that Mr. A could not bear to escape from him.”

In the legal world, the argument that the crime of murder should be applied to the adoptive parents who killed Jung In-yang is empowering. The Korean Women’s Lawyers Association announced on the 4th that “Jeong In-yi’s damage, and only looking at the evidence displayed, it is judged that it is not unreasonable to convict of murder.” Dr. Seung Jae-Hyun of the Korea Criminal Policy Institute said, “Applying the crime of child abuse is like giving an indulgence to a cruel crime. How can this lead to death by negligence?”

The Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office, who investigated the case, requested a reappraisal of Jeong In-yang’s autopsy. The prosecution is considering whether to change it to a prosecution that applied the crime of murder on the first trial date held on the 13th based on the conclusion of the reappraisal of forensic scientists.
