"Perjury, perjury teacher." Mixed guilt and innocence...Why?

[Anchor]
The court fined Kim Jin-sung, who admitted to perjury charges, and acquitted Lee Jae-myung, who is accused of perjury.

In order for the perjury teacher crime to be established, both teacher behavior and intention must be recognized, but CEO Lee's perjury teacher "act" was done, but there was no intention.

Reporter Lim Sung-ho reports.

The court recognized four of Kim Jin-sung's six testimonies as perjury.

It is a statement that they are discussing the withdrawal of charges against the PD in the so-called "prosecutor impersonation" case or that related stories have been exchanged with a high-ranking broadcaster official.

The court said that Kim falsely testified as if he knew what he didn't know in court, but

He explained that he was fined considering the fact that he admitted his mistake and reflected on it.

Regarding CEO Lee Jae-myung, he admitted that there was an "act" of teaching Kim about some perjury.

However, he was aware that Kim's testimony was false.Or, they were all found not guilty because there was no 'intention' to make the perjury so determined.

There is no direct evidence that this representative may have intervened,
It is difficult to recognize the perjury teacher's intention, as
did not decide whether to testify or what to say when the representative spoke directly with Kim.

However, the court did not explain separately about the fact that Kim had no real benefit from perjury or that he admitted to perjury at the request of CEO Lee.

Controversy and criticism over the prosecution's investigation are expected to intensify as representative Lee, who criticized the "weaving investigation" in the perjury teacher's trial, was all acquitted in the first trial.
