The fourth trial was held for the adoptive parents who abused’Jung In-yi’ for 16 months and killed them. Two witnesses, an autopsy doctor and a forensic scientist, testified, “I was in the worst condition among the victims of child abuse I have ever seen.”

‘There was no need to tell if it was abuse or not.’ The autopsy in charge of the case by Jung In came to the court as a witness.
Since 2002, the National Institute for Scientific Investigation has performed about 3,800 autopsies, and it is said that the damage was the most severe among child abuse victims ever seen.
In court, the first appearance was revealed when it was transferred to the Noodle Tree for autopsy, but the whole body was covered with fractures and bruises, so there was no place.
In the case of’pancreatic amputation’, which is regarded as a direct cause of the mesenteric rupture, testimony has been said that it was already severely damaged a few days before death, and that an additional strong external force was applied on the day of death.
Another witness, a forensic scientist who attended, speculated that it was possible that the back of the pancreas was to be amputated by stepping on it with the back fixed to one side.
Witnesses largely disagreed with the adoptive parents’ claim.
On the day of death, dropping a child into a chair or performing CPR is medically unlikely to lead to an amputation of the pancreas.
The forensic scholar also conveyed the opinion to the court that the adoptive mother, Jang, would have known the possibility of the child’s death, in that it was impossible to know if there was a fatal injury to the child, but the abuse has been repeated several times since then.
The next trial is scheduled for the 7th of next month, and a university professor who has undergone a reappraisal of the autopsy will be present as a witness.
