The head of the Supreme Court, Kim Myung-soo, overwhelmed by the controversy over false explanations, has established a policy of “no resignation” despite the successive accusations of civic groups and of blaming opposition parties and some circles. legal. Within the Supreme Court, there are three cases, including the Supreme Court report on the work of the Legislative and Judicial Commission of the National Assembly on the 17th, the first trial of ‘Justice Nongdan’ by the former head of the Planning Office. and Coordination of the Court Administration Department on the 18th, and the Lim Seong-geun Prosecution Court of the Constitutional Court, head of the Busan High Court. It is anticipated that we will first have to overcome the hump.
According to the Kookmin Daily report of the 14th, it is reported that the interior of the Supreme Court is fighting with countermeasures when members of the People’s Power of the Judicial Committee of the National Assembly demanded the presence of Chief Justice Kim in the business report of the Court Supreme over the 17th. Chief Justice Kim is unlikely to appear in person. Instead, it is highly likely that Cho Jae-yeon, the Chief Justice of the Court Administration, will come out and answer the questions. A court official said: “The response style as it is based on factual relationships” to Director Cho. If the head of the Supreme Court, Kim, ultimately does not attend, there is a possibility that the judiciary will limp.
Another variable is the sentence of the first trial of ‘Judicial Nongdan’ by the 32nd Division of the Seoul Central District Court (Chief Judge Yoon Jong-seop), held on the 18th. The defendants in this case, the former executive director Lee Gyu-jin and the former member of the executive committee of the Supreme Court are being evaluated as “the mainstream” of the Nongdan Judicial accusations. They were brought to trial on the conspiracy charges with former Supreme Court Chief Yang Seung-tae and former Chief Justice of the Court Administration Department Lim Jong-heon, unlike previous and current judges in the related court trial. with Nongdan who were previously acquitted.
The reason this case is particularly notable is that Judge Yun, the presiding judge, has been challenged by former Deputy Chief Lim, who is being tried separately by the 36th Criminal Division, saying, “We will judge with a prediction.” For this reason, it is predicted that in the legal world, Judge Yun may pass a different judgment than other judges who have been acquitted. As head of the Supreme Court, Kim, if convicted on the 18th, looks like he will be out of breath to some degree. Chief Justice Kim has been accused of “ handing over judges to prosecutors ” since announcing his position to cooperate with the prosecution in June 2018, and was on the defensive with subsequent acquittals.
Above all, what the Supreme Court pays close attention to is the outcome of Chief Justice Lim’s impeachment. If the Constitution makes an impeachment decision or dismisses it with low probability, mentioning that ‘the act of committing an unconstitutional act is recognized’ could lead to an advantageous stage for Supreme Court Justice Kim. This is because it is cause for conviction and accusation of Judicial Nongdan. In the legal profession, it is anticipated that even if the vice-presiding judge retires on the 28th, the constitution is unlikely to simply dismiss him, save for a comment on whether it is unconstitutional.
Within the judiciary, public opinion is that the possibility of resignation from the Supreme Court is small. A vice-president judge, who works in the province, said: “As expected, the disappointment was great,” he said. “I don’t think it’s a question of resignation.” The strength of the people It is known that even if Chief Justice Kim resigns, there are concerns that the current government-appointed Chief Justice will inevitably begin a new six-year term.
However, there is still a lot of voice that the head of the Supreme Court, Kim, should show responsibility regardless of whether he resigns or not. A Chief Justice of the Financial District Law said: “The judges are the ones who have been harmed the most by this incident,” and said: “The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court must express a sincere position towards the internal members.”
