[Reporter Lim Chan-jong: Yes.

Until now, former Minister Cho Kook and Prof. Kyung-Shim Chung have denied virtually all of the prosecution's charges.

In particular, for the most controversial allegations of forgery of the Tong Yang University citation, former Minister Cho Kook contributed at a personnel hearing last year by saying that if the counterfeiting is true, Professor Kyung-Shim Chung should be held legally responsible.

However, the judge today said that there is so much objective evidence that even if some of the evidence is excluded from the ability to prove, the rest of the evidence alone is enough to prove guilty.

It was also revealed that former Minister Cho Kook participated in the false writing of the confirmation of the Seoul National University Public Interest Law Center intern or hotel intern.

If today's judgment is preserved in the trial of former Minister Cho Kook, the situation could result in criminal punishment as well as moral criticism for making a false claim.

In response, former Minister Cho Kook said that the ruling on the first trial against Professor Chung Gyeong-sim was too shocking, and he would immediately appeal and fight.]

[Reporter Lim Chan-jong: Yes, the prosecution requested a sentence of 7 years in prison, and according to the Supreme Court's sentencing criteria, imprisonment can be up to two years and six months.

However, the court sentenced him to four years in prison today.

The judiciary clarified the reason for the medium sentence by explaining why these are bad crimes, explaining why these are bad crimes, and inflicting mental pain on those who told the truth. .

Professor Chung's assertion that the Witnesses who spoke against him made false statements for political and personal purposes, which provided an opportunity for people who did not know the details to criticize the Witnesses and inflicted mental pain on those who told the truth.

He also said that it is difficult to accept the attitude of continuing irrational arguments contrary to objective evidence.

In the end, the judge made it clear that those who did their job at their job and who did their duty to tell the truth should not be unfairly attacked or criticized.]

[Reporter Lim Chan-jong: Yes, today's ruling came after more than 30 trials by a court consisting of three chief judges.

As such, the Appeals Tribunal is expected to carefully review.

However, there is a point of controversy regarding the prosecution's method of collecting evidence. While judging the process after the prosecution secured the files on a computer found in the rest room of Dongyang University, the court reviewed the list of files from the computer. Pointing out what he gave to the person he had, he pointed out that this was a procedural flaw.

The judiciary said that it is not possible to rule out the ability to prove evidence only with this level of procedural issues, but Professor Kyung-Shim

Chung is

expected to raise issues intensively in the appeal trial.]
