Yu-jeong Yoo, who was accused of damaging the body after murdering her ex-husband, was sentenced to life in prison.
On the other hand, the charges of murder of the stepson were declared innocent by the Supreme Court after the first and second trials.
For whatever reason, we will connect with reporters to find out more details. Reporter Kang Hee-kyung!
Yes, it is an event that has had a great social impact since it was known.
Let’s first briefly summarize what the Yujeong event is all about.
[기자]In June of last year, Yu-jeong Yoo was arrested on charges of murdering her ex-husband.
To summarize the facts that were confirmed in the sentence after going through all the trials, the crime site was a pension in Jeju, where an interview with my son was conducted at the request of my ex-husband.
Yu Jeong, who had already been planning a crime, put sleeping pills in the curry to confuse her ex-husband’s conscience, and after leaving her son in a different room, murdered her ex with a gun.
At that time, Yu Jeong was already married to another man and making a living.
My son had been taught my husband remarried like his father, but it was investigated that he decided to commit the crime because he thought that if his ex-husband kept asking for negotiations for the interview, the plan could be destroyed.

Before the crime, it was revealed that it was a detailed planned crime, such as buying bleach, rubber gloves, and cleaning supplies such as sinks at a mall in Jeju.
[앵커]It was also confirmed that the stepson died during the investigation.
Yoo Goo Jung was also put on trial for the murder of his stepson, right?
[기자]Yes, it was confirmed that a four-year-old stepson died about two months before her ex-husband died in the Yu Jeong investigation process.
After Yoo Goo Jeong was sent to the prosecution for the murder of her ex-husband, Mr. A, the stepson’s father and husband at the time, filed a complaint with prosecutors alleging that Yu Jeong killed his son.
In the end, Yu-jeong Yoo was prosecuted first for the murder of her ex-husband, and the prosecution later assumed that Yu-jeong had also killed her stepson and handed him over to trial.
In the investigation process, the face and name were also released because the criminal method was cruel and the result of the crime was serious.
Hiding behind her hair and covering her face aroused resentment.
[고유정 (지난해 6월) : (남겨진 아이와 남편에게 하고 싶은 말 없습니까?) …. (왜 죽이셨습니까?) …. (유가족에게 하고 싶은 말 없으십니까?) ….] [앵커]In the first and second trials, Yu-jeong Yoo was sentenced to life in prison.
The sentence was also confirmed in the Supreme Court, but the charges for the murder of the ex-husband were also found guilty by the Supreme Court, right?
[기자]Yes, the Supreme Court upheld the court ruling that sentenced Yu-jung to life imprisonment.
The Supreme Court said it admitted that the occult act itself was acknowledged by Yu-jeong Yoo that killed her ex-husband and damaged the body.
However, Yu-jeong Yoo always claimed that his ex-husband tried to sexually assault him on the day of the incident, and that he accidentally committed the crime, but the Supreme Court concluded that the statement was unreliable.
Furthermore, it was considered sufficiently recognized that Yoo Goo Jeong carefully planned the crime, such as searching for tools and methods of crime, and buying zolpidem in advance.
Meanwhile, he emphasized that when reviewing various circumstances, unlike Goo Jeong’s allegations, life imprisonment cannot be considered an unfair sentence.
[앵커]On the other hand, the charges of murder of the stepson were declared innocent by the Supreme Court after the first and second trials.
Which was the reason?
[기자]Yes, as the Court of Appeals previously stated, there are actually several suspicious circumstances that deserve to be considered the true offender.
Yu Jeong-eun said that she had a fight with her husband A in the time before the incident, and suddenly A has a habit of smashing or hitting the next person while they are sleeping.
The prosecution believes that after Mr. Ko murdered his stepson, he left traces of conversation to blame Mr. A’s sleeping habit.
A week before the death of the stepson, a transcript of a fight with her husband and saying: “Should I kill the child?” .
There was also evidence that Yoo Goo Jeong knew the time of his stepson’s death.
This is the content of the phone call I had with my mother on the day of the incident. When asked when my mother died, Yu Jeong said, “I died during the night” and “Several hours have passed.”
However, the fact that there is no direct evidence got me.
Since the investigation was carried out only three months after the stepson’s death, no evidence was found.
In the end, after the first and second trials, the Supreme Court also found that the stepson’s murder charges were not guilty.
The Supreme Court declared that the possibility that the stepson was not killed by Goo Goo Jeong’s act of oppression cannot be ruled out, but was pressured and killed by the father he slept with.
Therefore, it was judged that it was difficult to see that the cause of the stepson’s death was proven without reasonable doubt.
[앵커]What position did the survivors say about the Supreme Court ruling?
[기자]First, the relatives of the deceased ex-husband said that they respected the Supreme Court ruling but were not satisfied with the punishment.
Since life imprisonment is light, it is intended to be worth the death penalty.
Let’s listen to the legal representative.
[강문혁 / 고유정 전남편 유족 법률대리인 : 끝까지 피해자에게 책임을 전가하는 모습 이런 모든 점을 종합했을 때 무기징역형은 죄질에 전혀 합당하지 않다….]The grieving side of the deceased stepson also expressed resentment that the result was not convincing.
The reason behind the court’s ruling was that Yu Jeong made a statement about her husband’s sleeping habits, and he criticized the police insolvency investigation, saying that it led to this result by believing Yu Jeong’s false statement. .
He also appealed for revealing the unjust death of his son, but the expectation collapsed, saying that it was terrible, that there was no murderer, only the murdered one, and that for me it was deplorable.
Currently, Yu Jeong has lost custody of her own son and has also lost a divorce claim from her husband.
Yoo Goo Goo’s side did not take a position on the life sentence decision.
