Journal Entry #10

Who Decides Whether A Person is Innocent or Guilty?






In Korea, just judges decide whether a person is innocent or guilty. Lawyers defend defendants, and prosecutors attack defendants with evidences. Judges watch their combat, then judges decide. At that time, judges have to tell a defendant reasons. If a defendant disagrees about judge's decision, they can appeal to the high court. In Korea, jurors can't do anything. They don't have competence.
