Prosecutors “Adopted mother, stepping on the abdomen with feet” Additional application of murder (total)

[서울=뉴시스] Reporter Ryu In-seon and Lee Gi-sang = In the first trial of an adoptive parent who was accused of abusing’Jung In’, who was only 16 months old at the time of death, leading to death, the prosecution applied for a change of the complaint, saying that it would apply additional charges of murder to the adopted mother. The judiciary approved this.

On the morning of the morning of the 13th, the 13th Division of the Criminal Agreement of the Seoul Southern District Law (President Judge Shin Hyeok-jae) held the first trial date for allegations of violations of the Special Act on the punishment of child abuse crimes by the adopted mother’s mother-in-law (child abuse mortality). A trial was also carried out on charges such as violations of the Child Welfare Act (child abuse, etc.) of Mr. A.

After the trial began on that day, the prosecution applied for a change of the charges against Jang to the court, saying, “The prosecution is requesting to change the facts of the accused (adopted mother) today before stating the prosecution point.” The intention is to apply the charges of murder to Mr. Jang, not the charges of child abuse.

The prosecution said that it would apply the charges of murder as a peripheral prosecution (the main crime), and a child abuse mortality as a preliminary prosecution, and the court approved the change of the prosecution.

In a statement stating the purpose of the change of the complaint, the prosecution said, “Mr. Jang was aware that if the victim was continuously abused and exerted strong force on the abdomen in a state of extreme physical condition, it could lead to death. I fell down and stepped on the victim’s abdomen with my feet.”

He said, “This act resulted in amputation of the pancreas, resulting in 600ml of bleeding in the abdominal cavity, and death was caused by abdominal damage,” he said.

The same statement was made for the child abuse deathly stated as a preliminary prosecution.

Jang’s lawyer said that he could not admit the charges.

On this day, prosecutors, including prosecutors Kim Mo and Park Mo, belonging to the investigation team (women and children’s criminal investigation department) who investigated the case, also attended.

After the incident was known, some organizations related to child abuse prevention and some doctors’ groups were voiced that the crime of murder should be applied to Jang. It is an opinion that if the child wields violence to the extent that the pancreas is amputated, the unwritten intentions that the child had foreseen the possibility of death were sufficient.

Jang is accused of habitual assaulting Jeong In for about 8 months from March to October last year. It was investigated that Jung In-i suffered injuries such as fractures and rupture of the mesentery due to the violence of Mr.

In particular, it is reported that he died of abdominal injuries such as pancreatic amputation due to the assault on October 13, last year, the day he died.

After applying the charges of child abuse and lethality to Jang and handing it over to the trial, the prosecution requested three professional autopsies to re-appraise the case, and received advice from the Korean Pediatrics and Adolescents Medical Association. Most of them are known to have conveyed the opinion that the application of’unwritten and intentional murder’ is possible.

The statutory sentence for murder is’the death penalty, weapon or imprisonment for more than 5 years’, and the death penalty for child abuse is’imprisonment for life or imprisonment for more than 5 years’. In the case of Korea, where the death penalty is not enforced, in fact, the two charges and sentenced sentences are not very different.

However, according to the sentencing criteria set by the Supreme Court’s sentencing committee, the basic sentence for murder is a basic sentence of 10 to 16 years in prison if there is no motive to take into account. On the other hand, the basic sentencing criteria for child abuse lethality is 4 to 7 years. Therefore, there is a high possibility of receiving a higher sentence when punished for murder.
