– “It is clear that my child did volunteer work”
Law, motherland hearings and media clarifications, mostly false judgments
Resignation before the state administration audit applied for perjury, no legal punishment
– A scene at the personnel hearing meeting of former Justice Minister Cho Kook in September last year. When Park Ju-min, a member of the Democratic Party, asked about Cho Min’s volunteer work at Tong Yang University in 2012, former Minister Cho replied.
At the hearing, former Minister Cho said that it was clear that Mr. Cho’s internship at the Seoul National University Public Interest Human Rights Law Center was also “clear,” and that he “did not participate” in the internship. In addition, the opposition lawmaker’s inquiry refuted that Mr. Cho was also an intern at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) for about two weeks.

– The word “false” is repeated dozens of times in the 570-page ruling of Professor Jeong’s first trial. The sentence “conspiring with the motherland” also appears several times. Professor Chung’s lawyers immediately appealed to the judgment of the first trial, saying that it was a “wrong decision.”
Clarification of the motherland and judgment of the judge
– Professor Chung’s first trial judged that Cho Min’s ▶Experience activities at Dankook University (1 author’s thesis) ▶Experience activities at Gongju University ▶Intern at Seoul National University Public Interest Human Rights Law Center ▶Aqua Palace Hotel Intern ▶KIST Intern ▶Tongyang University Research Activities ▶Tongyang University Citations were all false. This is the content Professor Chung’s side claimed to be true in court.
Former Minister Cho also explained at the personnel hearing that Mr. Cho actually did most of the activities related to this specification. The following is a comparison between Cho’s response to the allegations of false specs by Mr. Cho at the time of the personnel hearing and the judgment of Professor Jeong’s judge.

Conspiracy to destroy evidence denied by the motherland is also recognized
– Prof. Chung’s judiciary admitted some of Cho’s involvement in the public offering for replacement of the home PC hard disk, which former Minister Cho stubbornly denied, and involvement in revision of the private equity management report.
Former Minister Cho denied participation in destroying evidence, saying, “Only a ritual greeting” to Kim Kyung-rok PB when he replaced the PC hard disk at his home. During the prosecution investigation, Mr. Kim said that he had heard words to the effect of “Thank you for helping his wife” to former Minister Cho, but former Minister Cho said at the plenary session of the National Assembly, “I do not remember saying that purpose.”
Prof. Chung’s judicial team also differed from Cho’s position on the alleged destruction of evidence. The judge said, “We can admit that Cho and Professor Jeong conspired to conceal a home PC hard disk and a professor’s lab PC at Tong Yang University,” and regarded Cho as an accomplice in destroying evidence. However, Professor Jung said that he and Kim could not be punished under the current law by destroying his criminal evidence.

“Do not submit unfavorable content to the hearing group”
– After receiving a private equity fund management report that did not contain a’blind clause’ at home, Cho has been charged with forgery without submitting it to the hearing.
In this regard, the court admitted that the former Minister Cho received the management report at home from the officials of Korink PE, and that Professor Chung and former Minister Cho did not submit to the Hearing Preparatory Team because the data received at the time were deemed unfavorable to them . However, the fact that Professor Jeong ordered the forgery of the report was acquitted, saying, “It has not been proved without reasonable doubt.”
Professor Jeong and former Minister Cho’s defense team refute that they cannot understand all the judgments of the judges. At the appeal hearing, he said he would reconsider the facts from the beginning. However, a lawyer who was a former chief judge said, “Prof. Jeong’s conclusion of the first trial was judged by the Supreme Court, consisting of three chief judges, for eight months.”
