I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 104

[You can select a location to investigate.]

[Would you like to confirm your selection?]

What unfolded before my eyes was the scene of the prosecutor’s office that is the office where prosecutors and prosecutorial investigators work. The piles of documents piled up on each table looked quite convincing.

‘In the original it was a lawyer’s office.’

The field in which the main character Shin Seo-jun participated was civil affairs. Whether on the plaintiff or the defendant side all litigation representatives are lawyers.

Naturally the starting point of virtual reality had to be designated as a lawyer’s office.

Here you could follow the message and select the location where the evidence you wanted to investigate was located and then move there. It was similar to a ‘portal’ that commonly appears in games.

‘The first thing we need to find out is whether Kim Gap-dong was actually mentally and physically unconscious at the time of the crime.’

Kim Gap-dong confessed to the entire crime to the police officer who interrogated him. There was enough supporting evidence to support the credibility of the confession.

The victim’s blood and Kim Gap-dong’s fingerprints were found on a kitchen knife left at the scene. Such as the CCTV footage of Kim Gap-dong sneaking into the women’s restroom and coming out covered in blood right after the incident.

Therefore there was little room for other parts to become issues.

The core of the case ultimately boils down to the question of whether Kim Gap-dong can receive a reduced sentence due to mental or physical impairment.

In fact if he hadn’t lost his mind and body that would be the end of the story.

You can just apply murder as is and punish it without any further consideration.

‘Let’s first meet the doctor who was in charge of the mental evaluation of the arrested Kim Gap-dong.’

However things did not turn out that easily.

[You selected ‘National Legal Hospital’.]

[Move to the selected location.]

“It is presumed that he was in a state of mental and physical loss.”

An NPC wearing a doctor’s gown said. It was not equipped with any great artificial intelligence but simply approached the device and selected to listen to the statement and the pre-recorded statement was played.

‘Actually it’s not easy to hear testimony like this.’

Originally medical staff had an obligation not to reveal patient secrets they learned while performing their duties.

Therefore it was a very difficult task to hear testimony about the details of treatment from doctors or nurses. This was the same even if a criminal case was being investigated.

Article 317 (Disclosure of professional secrets) ① If a doctor oriental medicine doctor dentist pharmacist apothecary midwife lawyer patent attorney certified public accountant notary public public defender assistant in the performance of his/her duties or a person in a position of a lower level discloses another person’s secrets acquired in the course of his/her duties the period shall not exceed three years. shall be punished by imprisonment or suspension of qualifications for not more than 10 years or by a fine of not more than 7 million won.

However this case was a little different. This is because Kim Gap-dong who found the opposite sex while receiving drug treatment again after his arrest agreed to provide information.

‘As expected it is a simulation created after inspection by the court so there are details.’

However the content of the testimony was not very favorable to me.

“The defendant had positive symptoms such as auditory hallucinations and was obsessed with the strong belief that he should kill the victim. “It was completely impossible to discern between right and wrong.”

Because he was so out of his mind the investigative agency said that they even took into account the possibility of drug use when conducting tests.

But the result was the opposite.

“No drug substances were detected. So… even treatments including Clozapine and Risperidone.”

In short of course it was not that I had taken medicine that I should not have taken but rather I had not taken medicine that I should have taken.

‘The testimony is consistent with the confiscated evidence.’

Among the evidence submitted was a bag of medicine found at the goshiwon where Kim Gap-dong lived.

The prescribed date is the 1st.

30 pills were prescribed and the incident occurred on the 15th. In other words if you ate it consistently you should have 15 pills left.

‘But there were 18 pills in the bag.’

This means that at the time of the crime he had not taken medication for three days.

Considering that Kim Gap-dong was a seriously ill patient it is highly likely that the time was sufficient for his condition to worsen.

‘…Next let’s check the testimonies about Kim Gap-dong’s illness and usual condition.’

[Go to OO Hospital.]

[Explanation: This is a private hospital where Kim Gap-dong was hospitalized and received regular consultations and medication prescriptions even after discharge.]

“Are you the patient Kim Gap-dong? “I remember it.”

The nurse NPC nodded.

“So… it must have been three years ago. “I was working as a nurse in a closed ward at the time and patient Kim Gap-dong was hospitalized at that time.”

According to the nurse’s testimony Kim Gap-dong’s symptoms largely matched the records.

Severe auditory hallucinations hallucinations and paranoid delusions that people around them are trying to harm them.

That wasn’t all.

“Actually there was a time when I went on a rampage to kill another patient.”

‘her.’

While receiving hospital treatment Kim Gap-dong’s symptoms improved significantly. He also built close relationships with patients hospitalized in the same ward.

Perhaps due to being distracted by such a situation the nurse in charge accidentally forgot to give Kim Gap-dong the medicine.

The results were disastrous. Kim Gap-dong who was seriously ill tried to strangle the nurse who was kind to him and was subdued by the medical staff.

‘The outline is similar to this case.’

Normal conditions while taking prescribed medication.

However if you do not take the medicine your symptoms will quickly worsen and you will attack those who were friendly to you.

In fact it is just a prejudice to say that people with schizophrenia are aggressive or prone to committing serious crimes. On the contrary there were many patients who showed symptoms of being emotionless and lethargic.

If I had to be specific I remember reading somewhere that they were a group with a lower crime rate than the general public.

Therefore it is a matter that must be carefully judged as to whether the defendant’s illness was the cause of the crime. It is necessary to secure a lot of evidence and review it while referring to the opinions of experts.

‘I was thinking of verifying that part….’

In this case I was becoming more and more convinced that the cause was correct.

The fact that the defendant showed serious abnormalities at the time of the crime. I haven’t been able to find a way to deny that it was enough to result in the death of a person enough to admit mental and physical loss.

“It was a patient with a very good prognosis.”

The doctor who prescribed medication to Kim Gap-dong also testified to the same effect.

“I had virtually no symptoms while taking the medication. “Except for a bit of depression and lethargy he was close to normal in all aspects.”

The last day the doctor examined Kim Gap-dong was on the 14th. That is it was the day before the incident.

It is said that until then Kim Gap-dong was normal enough for a psychiatrist to declare.

I couldn’t help but think that this was an incident caused by the madness of the disease.

‘Is this really all there is?’

Kim Gap-dong murdered Ms. A.

In a state of insanity due to illness.

In the end this is the only problem left. Because it was so simple there was absolutely no room for argument.

‘A possible argument… is that it should be viewed as mental and physical weakness rather than mental and physical loss.’

If you completely lose judgment and cognition you are mentally and physically weak. If those abilities are reduced to a weak level you are mentally and physically weak.

The law stipulates that the former must be exempted from punishment but the latter can be reduced.

They said that if you drag him to a prison camp because of his mental and physical weakness he could be sentenced to prison anyway. However since all the evidence indicates that Kim Gap-dong’s illness was extremely serious it was not easy to claim that it was mental and physical weakness rather than mental and physical loss.

Do I really have to accept this?

In fact even at this moment my intuition was telling me otherwise.

If it was going to end like this there was no reason to change the process by including a virtual reality experience.

Something is hidden.

Something I haven’t realized yet.

Let’s review the information we found out in order.

Immediately after the incident Kim Gap-dong’s condition past medical history and the doctor’s testimony that Kim Gap-dong was examined periodically and was completely normal….

At that moment something passed through my head like a thunderbolt.

‘…normal?’

There are 18 pills left.

If we calculate backwards it means that Kim Gap-dong stopped taking medicine on the 13th.

However at the time of consulting with the doctor that is until the 14th Kim Gap-dong was completely close to normal.

‘I stopped taking medication on my own while I was normal.’

It’s not that my mental illness relapsed first and that’s why I couldn’t take medication. I stopped taking medication on my own while feeling fine.

I had no choice but to judge it that way.

‘Aha this is it.’

Only then did I realize what this problem was intended to be.

* * *

“…It’s taking a long time.”

“Sure.”

The two people left behind Hanseol and Lee Haru were putting together the basic outline of the writing as promised.

It wasn’t a difficult task.

Most of the facts about Kim Gap-dong’s crimes recorded in the lawsuit records left no room for doubt. If it’s murder it’s murder. If it is a special injury it is a special injury. This includes special residential trespassing and illegal use of automobile lights.

These were all simple matters that could be affirmed within the scope of provisions and basic legal principles.

Therefore there is only one problem.

The only question was whether or not all these crimes were committed while mentally and physically impaired.

The reason Park Yoo-seung is currently running around in virtual reality was to check that exact point.

“50 minutes have passed. “There are only 10 minutes left until I promise.”

Lee Haru pointed to the clock on the table.

“I guess it’s such a difficult problem.”

In fact in Hanseol’s opinion they were facing considerable difficulties.

I reviewed the evidence several times while organizing the document but no matter how I thought about it it seemed clear that the defendant Kim Gap-dong was mentally and physically impaired.

Even after looking at these records I would choose the prosecution rather than the defense to prove the defendant’s guilt. If someone else had said it I wouldn’t have even heard it.

‘But because it’s Park Yoo-seung.’

You can trust him. Han Seol could not imagine Park Yu-seung failing at least in matters related to law.

How many times have he already overcome crises by relying on his excellent intuition?

In Hanseol’s opinion Park Yoo-seung was a true genius.

A person born to study law. A man suited to the profession of law better than anyone else in the world.

So I don’t doubt it. It was the team leader himself who decided to follow Park Yu-seung’s judgment in the first place.

Rather than hesitating now it would have been better to wait and faithfully carry out the task asked.

Therefore Hanseol continued his work without wavering.

After comforting Lee Ha-ru I received a summary of the document from her reviewed it and filled in the written information step by step for each crime.

This was one of the areas that Hanseol was best at.

And as if repaying that trust.

“I found it!”

Park Yoo-seung jumped out of the VR device and shouted.

“I can break mental and physical loss!”
