PUBLICATION OF SUSPECTED CRIME

MADE BY AUTHORITIES BEFORE…

FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW

"Once the media begins to report on one's charges,

it will plant presupposition and bias on the judges.

This damages the defendant's right to a fair trial."

"The defendant may be innocent, but the damage cannot be restored."

We should assert…

What's wrong? You don't like that?

JIN HYEONG-U

Why? It's well-written.

This seems good enough to be up against Prof. Kang Ju-man.

I get that you'd rather have Prof. Yang write this,

but he said he can't do that.

So why can't he do it?

TESTIFIER STATEMENT

How can you be Prosecutor Jin's testifier?

My opinion is that it's unconstitutional.

Then why were you so keen on having Jin indicted?

I needed to get him in court.

You did what I couldn't do.

You weren't helping me.

You used me to get what you wanted.

"Used"?

You knew if Jin gets indicted, he'd request a constitutional review,

and used me, right?

-If you shared your intention-- -My intention?

What's my intention?

My father passed away

due to his publication of my dad's suspected crime, but you--

It's yours to prove on the trial.

It must be found constitutional for the trial--

Then you shouldn't be here now.

Prosecutor Jin and I won't be an easy fight.

THIS ARTICLE CONTRADICTS THE PRINCIPLE OF PROPORTIONALITY

AND MUST BE ABOLISHED

Is that enough to convince the judges?

If publication of suspected crime is allowed,

they say it contradicts the presumption of innocence.

It's not to break the presumption of innocence.

The people commissioned us as investigative authorities,

so it's only natural for us to disclose

the suspected crime after an investigation.

Especially when…

a key presidential candidate such as Ko Hyeong-su

or other high officials

are investigated for crimes and corruption…

the people should absolutely have the right to know.

Now that's a good argument.

Is this why you made me

the first prosecutor in Korea

to be indicted for violating Article 126 of the Criminal Code?

A constitutional review can be requested only with a trial.

How did you know I'd request a constitutional review?

I would've done the same.

OFFICER CHO YE-BUM

OFFICER CHO YE-BUM

If you have questions, ask me.

His internship is over.

Don't contact my student in secret and make him rat on them.

POWER OFF

What was that? Did he hang up?

He needs to know that we know.

Squeak, squeak.

Not everyone can be a spy,

and you aren't cut out for that.

What do you mean?

I bet everyone thinks it's you.

You wrote Seung-jae's complaint, too.

It was a part of my internship.

I had to do as he asked.

I get that you want to be a prosecutor

and made a mistake trying to be on his good side.

But still, Prosecutor Jin?

Sol.

I don't know why I did that.

I'll take care of this, so--

You can leave the study group.

Then he'll have no reason to use you.

Joon-hwi.

How can you say that to me?

You of all people can't say that to me.

Why do you think I did that?

During the internship,

the guy who passed the second round got all the attention.

I was practically invisible next to you.

I'm not the type who doesn't get noticed,

but next to you, I was just…

I get how you feel.

I've also suffered enough with smarties at home and at school.

Only you get me.

Stop talking, and take care of this.

You said only I get you, right?

Then do me a favor.

Okay, shoot away.

It's about that absurd vlog you film.

My vlog?

Yes.

What would've happened had the facts about Lee Man-ho's sexual assault case

been published through the proper channels?

He would not have been ruled "feeble-minded" so easily,

and we could've prevented the verdict which the public at large deemed unjust.

He oddly has a point.

Politicians who applaud publication of allegations involving their opponents

and lash out when it happens to them

should no longer be allowed to take advantage of the provision.

When did Ji-ho find out Prof. Yang is his testifier?

He didn't say anything to us?

Article 126 of the Criminal Code could not keep your father safe.

Who do you think benefits the most from this law?

No other countries

have such a general and broad provision against publication of suspected crime.

Regarding similar cases in other countries,

Ms. Erica Shin, a lawyer and comparative law expert at Harvard

who was also selected as a witness, will virtually join us.

Are we ready for this video call?

He betrayed us to help Prosecutor Jin. And what's all this fuss about?

They won't win anyway.

CONSTITUTION

Hello, I'm Erica Shin.

I'd like to thank Prof. Yang Jong-hoon and the Constitutional Court

for this chance to share my opinion.

CONSTITUTIONAL COURT

Look at the view count.

She totally made me do this.

Hey, doesn't this mean it's a huge hit?

I'm frightened.

CONSTITUTIONAL COURT

Why didn't you tell me?

She asked me not to.

She said she'd call you in time and asked me to stay quiet.

"In time"?

When is that time?

I believe it's now.

Hello?

It's me.

"It's me"?

Have you been well?

Have I been well?

How's Mom?

Is Byeol also--

Criminal Code Article 126 on publication of suspected crime

only exists in the Republic of Korea.

Before we take a look at other precedents in other countries,

we must first consider the biggest beneficiaries

of this clause in the law.

Erica Shin?

I was about to call you right now.

Do you have any money?

Money?

What makes you think I have any money?

I'm living off a line of credit.

Can you take out some cash from that account then?

My landlord wants to raise the rent. What can I do?

Otherwise, we'll have to move out.

Who knew Sol had a twin sister?

They look the same.

Hey.

They only look the same.

She went to Harvard Law.

She's not in her league with that career.

Anyway, why is she named Erica Shin?

Sol looked surprised, too.

Did you know?

Don't get curious. You'll get hurt.

Hold your horses.

I'm starting to get scared.

If you're that scared, take it down.

No, he's about to get the silver medal.

You're at 100,000 subscribers?

He had a good reason when he uploaded that video

as if he was forced.

What I'm really curious about is Ko's response.

The video blew up like this, but why is he as quiet as a mouse?

He was in the media, so he probably put an embargo on this.

And he won't take a legal measure.

He can't sue him for spreading falsehood, but I thought he'd threaten him.

Did you see the bulletin?

Someone raised an issue on how Yeong-chang came to the dorm.

What? No way.

They're saying we should kick her out and have her punished.

They're furious.

Hey, don't look.

They want all of you,

from Ye-seul, who gave him a key, to Sol and Joon-hwi, who let him go

although you knew.

But why did this suddenly resurface…

He wasn't staying quiet.

MOM

MOM

I sent you some tonic.

You'll compete in the Justice Mock Trial, right?

This was delivered.

HERBAL TONIC

I'm throwing it out.

Why? It must be expensive.
