[앵커]
We covered what happened to Open Microphone, Jeong In-i. The stepmother’s side has never been punished by corporal punishment, but it is said that she did not hit her to death or abuse her habitually. However, the people around me, the doctors, and the pictures of Jeong In-i tell a slightly different story.

#One. You haven’t been abused regularly?
This is Jung In-yi on July 3 of last year.
It is the day after Jang, her adoptive mother, inquired about the child’s disaster support fund, and Jung In sent a photo to Holt.
Several bruises are visible on the forehead, and the shoulders are also blue.
It’s about ten days later.
This time my mouth is dark.
If you look at the photos we have obtained, you can see a new bruise in a few days.
Those who have watched this family for a long time say that there was a strange feeling from the time they had been adopted.
This also happened in a restaurant about a month after my adoption.
[정인이 양부모 지인 : 조용히 하라고, 그 가제 수건을 얼굴에 던진 거예요. 깜깜해지니까 애가 울음을 그치거든요. 오죽하면 그 식당 주인분이 ‘아기 울어도 괜찮아요.’]
One acquaintance confessed that there was a time when Jung In-i even secretly watched her diaper changing with suspicion of abuse when she even put on a clavicle.
[정인이 양부모 지인 : 아이들한테 가는 척하면서 이렇게 살짝 봤거든요. 머리를 이렇게 받치고 눕히잖아요, 보통. 어깨를 이렇게 탁 미는 거예요. 애가 ‘쾅’ 하면서 딱 떨어진 거죠. 그러니까 아이가 와아앙 울었어요. 그랬더니 장씨가 ‘야 너는 기저귀 갈아주는데도 우냐?’ 쇄골 깁스를 했는데 이렇게 미니까 여기가 얼마나 아팠겠어요.]
Jang, her adoptive mother, said she would sue the person who reported suspicion of abuse.
[정인이 양부모 지인 : 신고한 사람들 다 내가 무혐의로 나왔으니까 무고죄로 넣을 거라고 강력하게 그렇게 얘기를…]
#2. Didn’t you hit enough to die?
When Jung In-yi’s pancreas is amputated, doctors point out that’the crime of murder’ should be applied.
[임현택/대한소아청소년과의사회 회장 : 황소 머리에 부딪혔으면 엄청난 충격이잖아요. 그 정도의 큰 충격이 가해져야 췌장이 손상되게 돼 있습니다. 이건 뭐, 가해자가 아이가 죽어도 된다는 생각을 갖고 공격했다고 생각해야 되기 때문에 분명히 살인의 의도가 있었다고…]
To the prosecution requesting a medical review, a written opinion was sent to the prosecution.
#3. You have had physical punishment because it was difficult to control your emotions, but you also beat your own daughter?
[정인이 양부모 지인 : 감정 조절이 안 됐으면 첫애한테도 계속 감정 조절이 안 됐어야죠. (첫째는) 멍, 상처 이런 것 한 번도 본 적 없고…]
Rather, it is said that he punished the first like this.
[정인이 양부모 지인 : 너 율하(정인이) 혼나는 것 봤어, 안 봤어? 너 혼나는 거 봤지. 너 그렇게 한번 혼나 보고 싶어!? (첫째는) 겁에 질려가지고 ‘네네…’ 애(정인이)를 어떻게 혼냈길래 그럴까…]
The first trial is coming Wednesday.
Jang’s side plans to reveal detailed positions on the charges, respectively, and the prosecution is considering changing the charges from child abuse and homicide to murder.
