Lee Seong-ho, who served as a judge for 27 years, reveals his convictions regarding death penalty sentences.
Last week the actor Yoon Yu-seon and her husband, former Director General judge Lee Seong-ho, who appeared on KBS2's "Rooftop Room troublemakers" and recorded a peak viewership rating of 6%, the highest for Thursday entertainment, are once again going after ratings.
On the broadcast that day, Lee Seong-ho looked back on his 27 years as a judge and revealed his convictions about rulings. Lee, who drew attention by presiding over the first trial of the molar father case and sentencing the defendant to death, said, "There was a time I was so moved that I couldn't deliver the sentence because I was thinking of the victim," and said he is always careful with rulings. He added, "Personally, I think death sentences have meaning. A death sentence functions to declare that the criminal act is socially unacceptable," revealing his own philosophy on death sentences. The judges' ruling standards shared by Lee, which the rooftop MCs also agreed with, can be checked on the full broadcast.
Lee Seong-ho will also reveal episodes that happened in court. Recalling a time when he handled a criminal case, he said he once received a threatening letter from a defendant dissatisfied with his ruling. He said he even warned Yoon Yu-seon not to be out late at night. He also revealed a court episode in which a defendant who entered the courtroom shouted for the escort rope to be released quickly and hurled obscene insults that were hard to put into words. What was the one remark Lee threw at the defendant who was shouting at him?
Meanwhile, former judge Lee Seong-ho attracted attention by revealing an episode in which he was almost defrauded. Lee said, "When I was briefly hospitalized, I was almost scammed, but I snapped out of it and didn't get taken," and recounted the harrowing experience. The person who almost deceived him was none other than his wife, Yoon Yu-seon. The story of Yoon grabbing her husband Lee Seong-ho's hand and promising, "I will listen to you from now on," and Lee shouting at her, "Don't lie," can be seen on KBS2's "Rooftop Room troublemakers," which airs today (19th) at 8:30 p.m.
