Jung Yoo-jeong, the defendant who murdered a woman of the same age, has already written her 13th remorse... Court: ``It's so confusing whether it's remorse'' = South Korea

Jung Yoo-jeong (23), who was on trial on charges of killing a woman of the same age he met through a tutoring app, damaging her body, and abandoning her (murder, etc.), has already filed a lawsuit in court.
It turned out that he had submitted a written reflection three times. Prior to this, Jeong, who had submitted a statement of remorse for the first time because he doubted whether the judge would read the statement of remorse he had written, began to show signs of change. However, the judgment
The court questioned whether the statement of remorse submitted by Chung was genuine. On the morning of the 10th, Chief Judge Kim Tae-op, the presiding judge of the Criminal Division 6 of the Busan District Court, held a trial hearing for another case.
Referring to Defendant A's frequent submissions of remorse and Jeong's incident, he said, ``Defendant Chung also continues to write remorse letters, but it is so confusing whether they are remorseful or not.''
Chief Judge Kim said, ``It's fine as long as the person expresses what he or she thinks,'' but added, ``A remorseful letter is a written statement of remorse that allows the person to reflect on the situation he was in, figure out what he did wrong, and calmly sort out his feelings.''
"It must also include information about how we will live our lives in the future." He further emphasized, ``I'm not doing this to show it to the court, but for the person himself.''
Defendant Jeong submitted a statement of remorse on the 13th in the three months from July 7, just before the first trial preparation date, until recently.
When I first wrote my reflection, I wondered, ``Will the judge read it properly?''
I even had doubts. However, on July 14, the first trial preparation date, the court said, ``Even though I wrote each page of the reflection letter doubting whether the judge would read it, I did not submit the reflection letter.''
Then the judge reads the written reflection in full detail. If he has something to write about, I hope he will write about it.'' After hearing this, Jung steadily submitted a statement of remorse.
Regarding this, Professor Lee Suzyung of the Department of Criminal Psychology at Gyeonggi University said, ``From an early age, Defendant Jung had a desire to be ignored and acknowledged by adults such as his father.''
He had a very strong desire to do so, but the judge understood his desire through his remorse." Professor Lee said, ``There is a possibility that defendant Chung is actually remorseful for his crime, but...
It is also important to note that he is not only showing signs of remorse, as his tendencies toward 'vigilant personality disorder' are also visible.''
Meanwhile, on the 18th of last month, the defendant Chung's side stated this in the first trial held at the Criminal Division 6 of the Busan District Court.
He reversed his previous claims and admitted all the facts of the prosecution's case. The prosecution investigated Chung's movement line, the method of searching for the target of the crime, and the process of preparation and execution of the crime.
It was concluded that this was a premeditated murder. Chung is scheduled for his second trial on the 16th.
