On the 24th, members of the Democratic Party referred to Professor Jeong’s decision and insisted on judicial reform. Chief Commissioner Kim Jong-min said on MBC Radio that day, “The conviction was convicted due to the circumstances of suspicion, and the judicial control over the prosecution was not properly carried out.” Insisted.
Supreme Commissioner Shin Dong-geun quoted a media interview with former judge Lee Tan-hee, who said, “I couldn’t reform the judicial process because I was concentrating on the reform of the prosecution,” he wrote, “I realize it really hard today.” Rep. Yoon Young-chan said, “Is it erased the cross on Professor Jeong on behalf of many parents who risked their lives in the spec?”, and Rep. Kim Jin-ae of the Open Democratic Party said on Facebook, “There were many concerns about the bias of Judge Lim Jeong-yeop in the court. Not only the prosecution reform, but the media and judicial reform are urgent,” he wrote.

Personal attacks against individuals in the judiciary are also exceeding the degree. On-line communities have posted derogatory articles referring to the past probation or innocence of Judge Lim Jeong-yeop, the judge. Comments such as’Plate (Judge + Garbage)’ and’The subject of investigation by the airlift’ were also posted.
“If you don’t like it, get a judge, what kind of fair do you want?”
In the legal community, it is pointed out that this is’irrational shaking of the judiciary’.
An attorney from a judge criticized that “if a politician he supports is prosecuted, the prosecution will be blamed, and if convicted, the court will blame it.” A deputy prosecutor in the metropolitan area said, “It’s a terrible cognitive dissonance,” he said. “It’s different from what we believed in reality, so let’s break the rules.”
Another prosecutor said, “I don’t know if the political power that only believes in certain supporters and is agitating the country is the leader and the ruling power of the country.” He said, “There was a phrase in the judgment saying,’The pain of those who told the truth,’ but literally, I am suffering because the judge told the truth.”
Kim Han-gyu, former chairman of the Seoul Bar Association, said, “The representative of the public, a legislative body, is talking about impeachment of judges and judicial reform because they are not happy with the decision.” I will make it to you.”
An incumbent judge said, “As a judge, you have to accept a legitimate criticism of the judgment, but it is becoming common practice to personally attack the judge and threaten the position of the judge.” “Do you really want the judge to make a fair judgment based on the law and conscience I don’t know if I just want to give a ruling in favor of the regime.”
