”Is it really so hard to right a wrong?” - South Korean man sentenced to life for murdering father acquitted after 24 years

Kim Shin-hye, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in South Korea for murdering her father and was later found not guilty in a retrial after serving 24 years in prison, said at a press conference after her release on the 6th, "It took me dozens of years to right a wrong."
"I was forced to think about many things, wondering if it would take years," Kim said. After being released from Jangheung Prison in South Jeolla Province that afternoon, Kim told reporters, "When there was something wrong,
"They should have corrected it immediately, but as I was inside I wondered why it's so difficult in our judicial and political systems," he said.
She was charged with murdering her then 52-year-old father in March 2000 by giving him alcohol laced with sleeping pills.
After being sentenced to life imprisonment in the first instance, the case was upheld by the Supreme Court, but a retrial was decided in 2015 and he was now acquitted.
Regarding her late father, she said, "He had a lot of hardships before he passed away, but I wasn't able to protect him until the end.
"I'm sorry. I want to end it properly, without shame, so that the years I lived as a person and a daughter are not wasted."
"I think there are people who don't know themselves well. They can gain strength and get back to where they belong," she said.
"I think that helping them like this is a way for me to repay them," he said.
His eyes welled up with tears as he received bouquets from N'ik and Yoon Seong-yeo, who was falsely accused of being the perpetrator of the Hwaseong serial murders.
They shouted "Hurrah!" three times to celebrate Kim's innocence.
Kim gave her the bouquet of flowers she had planned and comforted her. She smiled when she met Park Junyeong, the lawyer who handled her retrial and led to her acquittal.
