Former President Chun Doo-Hwan's defense lawyers strongly protested that the May 18th Memorial Foundation announced that it would sue the military officials who denied martial arts helicopter fire in court.
The lawyer Jeong Joo-kyo, a lawyer for the former Mr. Lee, met with reporters before attending Mr. Lee's defamation trial on the 20th. "If you would sue a witness for perjury, who would come to court and tell the truth?" I think."
He continued, "If there is a part that you think is not true, always stand in the courtroom and testify." You should not say that it is a perjury because the story you are trying to hear does not come out.
In addition, he said, "In some ways, a trial in Seoul in Gwangju is like competing with one arm tied. I think it's very unfair to sue a witness with one leg tied and competing."
In contrast, the victim's side, Father Young-dae Cho, said, "The former court is seeking witnesses because of the delayed trial."
Prior to the May 18th Memorial Foundation, Jin-Tae Cho, executive director of the May 18th, said before the trial of Mr. Song last month, he said, "Anyone who perjured that there was still no helicopter shooting without any reflection should also be guilty." He said he would sue the Air Brigade Commander for perjury.
Jeon was prosecuted for accusing him of writing an expression of'unscrupulous liar' in his memoir over the remarks of Father Giovio that he witnessed a helicopter shooting at the time of May 18.
