The incident took place in South Korea and tells the true experience of former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun. In the early 1980s, when the Korean dictatorship was in power, the protagonist Song Youshuo, who graduated from high school, worked hard to obtain judicial qualifications in order to make a living. He became a judge first. When he felt that his income was not enough, he became a lawyer. In order to make more money, he found a new way to focus on real estate registration and taxation, which others did not pay much attention to, and made a fortune in silence. He changed to a house where he could see the sea and lived a nourishing life. In his view, earning money from work and taking good care of his wife and children is his whole life. He doesn't care about politics and thinks that thing is far from him. Until one day, Park Zhenyu, the child of the aunt's family who opened a snack bar and gave him a meal, was secretly arrested by the police for endangering national security. The aunt begged Song Youshuo, he hesitated, he was not good at handling criminal cases, and he did not want to be involved in national security cases. After hesitating, he still took over the case resolutely. He investigated the fact that the police had extorted confessions by torture, and determined that it was an unjustified case. In the courtroom, he changed his usual gentleness and honesty, with strict justice and aggressiveness, like a roaring lion. He glared angrily and pressed witnesses who were police officers. In order to protest the injustice of the court, he even rushed to the bench to grab the gavel. As a result, he became a democrat, a dissident, and started street protests. He was taken to the dock. At the trial scene, 99 of all 142 local lawyers volunteered as his defense.
The deepest impression that "The Defender" left on me was the righteousness and decisiveness of the protagonist Song Youshuo when confronted by the opponent's defender. At the beginning of the trial, he requested that the defendant's handcuffs and ropes be removed, and took a seat in the main hall of the court, emphasizing that the core and focus of this trial was the improper use of public power. In the following trial, he read all the literature related to the case in advance and wrote to the British embassy. During the questioning of Cha Dong Young, he emphasized that the sovereignty of the Republic of Korea belongs to the people, and all power is generated by the people. So far, his inner justice and sense of responsibility are fully displayed. The best defense is not a game limited by legal provisions. The best lawyers must have profound constitutional, political and social experience, and must have deep feelings for the people and justice. What is the country? This is a question that the witness asked back when Song asked the witness in court. Song replied: The Constitution of the Republic of Korea stipulates that all the powers of the state belong to the people, and the state is the people. The evil police are the maggots that make a good country sick! We hope that the legal workers around us will not forget their beliefs and not only regard cases as a livelihood. It is not necessarily the person standing in the dock who is being tried. Everyone has to be judged by history, especially those who decide the fate of others, and those species that frame good people.
