Eunhae Lee revealed that she would surrender through her father before being arrested by the police.

However, during her subsequent investigation, she continues to deny the crime.



If she originally embroidered, she would receive mercy during the investigation or trial process, but reporter Shin Jeong-eun pointed out whether that would apply to this case as well.

Eun-hae and Jo Hyeon-soo, who disappeared at the end of last year, moved to various places across the country to avoid being pursued.

I went around the country to investigate the people around me.]



After four months of hiding, Mr. Lee was arrested after revealing his intention to surrender through his father, but has since denied the allegations.

Experts believe that the embroidery was chosen strategically.



[Lee Chang-hyeon/Professor, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Law School: Don't you think that it is possible to dispel the public opinion of social condemnation?]



[Shin Byeong-jae/ Attorney: I need to pursue a little more while the siege is narrowed, but I am afraid of myself, so I did it. Can this be considered true surrender?]



The current law stipulates that the sentence can be reduced or exempted if surrendered to an investigative agency, but in case law, 'true surrender' is only considered as 'true surrender' when accompanied by an attitude of acknowledging and reflecting on the crime. I'm watching.



[Lee Chang-hyeon/Professor, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Law School: I have to admit the crime, but I can't turn myself in because I don't admit it.

The reason for reducing the sentence of suicide is that we cooperated with the investigation, so let's consider it...

What if, after the trial began, he changed his attitude and acknowledged the crime and reflected on it?



Even in this case, it is the opinion of the legal community that it is difficult to be recognized as self-inflicted under the Criminal Act.



[Ja-ryong Koo / Lawyer: There are cases where the investigation agency denies everything, but then comes to the court and admits it.

It's not a confession, it's a confession, so the court uses it as a sentencing element and a normal relationship element...
