The prosecution said, “The defendant, Jang, was infuriated for refusing to eat even though he knew that the victim (Jeong In-i) who was continuously abused could lead to death. This resulted in pancreatic amputation and extensive peritoneal bleeding,” he explained. It was a change of the complaint based on the results of the re-appraisal and the results of the investigation requested by three professional autopsy personnel.
On this day, about 150 citizens gathered in front of the court two hours before the trial, holding hand signs such as’to death penalty for murder’ and’to death sentence’ and urged severe punishment for adoptive parents. About 80 policemen also surrounded the citizens and prepared for an emergency.
Jeon Yoon-jeong (40, Bucheon), who held a one-person protest from 10 am, said, “After Jung-in encountered the incident, rice did not pass. As an adult, I am sorry for everything,” he said. “Even if you have been prosecuted, the judgment is the most important. (The prosecution) insisted that the adoptive parents should be sentenced to death.” Citizens who visited the court were also interested in whether or not to apply the’crime’.
Many citizens visited the courts to see the trial, but only a few who had the right to listen were allowed to listen. Citizens who had not obtained the right to listen waited for news of the trial in the corridors and outside the courtroom.

Mr. Lee Amugae (37, Paju), who was in the courtroom, said, “(Mr. Ahn) Ahn was crying, and (Mr. Yang) Jang was opening his head and bowing. Did not admit the facts. “How can a human be like that to that little baby?” Another citizen, Mr. A, reported that a citizen grabbed Ahn’s head as he left the court and shouted to come out.
As Ahn and Jang left the courtroom, the citizens rushed to their adoptive parents, shouting “death penalty”. Reporters and citizens held cameras under the walls of the building to capture Mr. Jang aboard the Ministry of Justice convoy, and some citizens expressed anger by throwing snowballs into convoy vehicles along with swear words.
As countless citizens rushed toward the convoy vehicle, the site once became a mess. The police protected their adoptive parents, and the citizens said, “Are the victims only protectors? How can this be?” he cried. A citizen who was demonstrating with the phrase “Jang OO death penalty” expressed anger by stepping on the sign he was holding when he left the courthouse while riding the appeal vehicle.
Ho-jeong Jeon (in her 40s) said, “I think it makes no sense. Those who gave up on being human,” he criticized. “The crime of murder is a natural thing. He also said that he is convicted of murder for Jung In-i, and said, “The death penalty is appropriate” for the appropriate sentence.

Attorney Jeong Hee-won, a lawyer on the adoptive parents’ side, told reporters, “I know it is a case of national anger. We also want to reveal the truth.” “As a result of talking with the defendant, I admitted to the fracture of the rib, but not the fracture of the part irrelevant to the part I hit. I don’t admit that Jungin stepped on the abdomen.” Regarding the change in the right to prosecute, “How do you admit murder, even if you deny child abuse and lethality? I deny it.”
The Korea Child Abuse Prevention Association held a photo exhibition of children who died of child abuse in front of the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office and commemorated them. In the photo, the children’s names and words of sorry were written. The next trial is scheduled to take place on the 17th of next month.
