[앵커 한마디] "나는 당신들처럼 안 살았다" / JTBC 뉴스룸

The "Prosecutor's Oath," which every prosecutor in the Republic of Korea is said to hold close to their heart. On the day of the final hearing, the former Minister of Justice, seated in the defendant's chair, shouted while reciting the "Prosecutor's Oath." He was directed at the special counsel prosecutors who had indicted him. "I have not lived like you. Do not live like that. I always carry the Prosecutor's Oath with me. You must take the Prosecutor's Oath again." The Prosecutor's Oath he spoke of contains beautiful phrases such as "justice," "truth," and a promise not to be swayed by any external pressure. However, today, the judiciary sentenced him to 25 years in prison for the man who claimed to have harbored that noble resolve his entire life. It has been proven that on that night when the constitutional order was crumbling, what he held in his heart was not the Prosecutor's Oath, which embodies a contract with the people, but the hilt of an illegal power. The rebuke he hurled under the guise of the 'Prosecutor's Oath' should have been directed at himself—the one who destroyed professional ethics and judicial justice—rather than at his juniors. That was a comment from the anchor.
