According to the court ruling that sentenced Dongyang University professor Chung Gyeong-shim to four years in prison, the wife of former Justice Minister Cho Kook, 6 out of 10 citizens thought it was a reasonable decision. On the other hand, a public impeachment petition against the judges in Professor Jeong’s first trial court was rapidly increasing the number of consents and dividing public opinion.
The Korea Social Opinion Institute (KSOI) surveyed 1,006 adults across the country on the 26th, and the results of the public opinion poll released on the 28th recognized that Professor Chung’s business obstruction, falsification of private documents, irregularities in the entrance examination, etc., he was imprisoned for 4 years and a fine 5 60.5% of the respondents said it is “appropriate” for the sentence of the first court of first instance sentenced to KRW 100 million. 35.8% of those surveyed said it was very reasonable and 24.7% said it was reasonable.
Only 32.2% answered that it was unfair. 18.4% said it was very unfair and 13.8% said it was somewhat unfair. Among the supporters of popular force, 90.5% of the opinions that the sentence is valid were found. In the conservative class, it was estimated at 77.2%. Even in the middle class, it was found that 63.9% of the respondents expressed their opinion that it is reasonable.
However, on the 23rd, the day of the court’s sentencing against Professor Jeong, a national petition entitled “ I request the removal of the court from the first court of Jeong Gyeong-shim ”, which received more than 400,000 consents. At 12:30 pm, 4,05556 people agreed. On the 24th, the day after registration, this petition already obtained more than 200,000 consents based on the response from the Blue House.
The petitioner appointed the first judges of the Penal Agreement 25-2 of the Seoul Central District Court, Jung-yeop Lim, Seongsu Kwon and Seon-hee Kim, who were the first judges of Professor Jeong, and said: “I urge the National Assembly that represents the people to initiate a political trial “. It is because the three judges seriously violate article 103 of the Constitution, which requires judgment of conscience. The petitioner said: “If a sentence is passed only with the investigation documents presented by the prosecution, it is an act that leaves the conscience of the judge and is contrary to the constitution.”
The KSOI survey has a confidence level of 95% and a sampling error of ± 3.1%. For more information, see the website of the KSOI and the Central Election Survey Deliberation Committee.
