The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. Article 312(2) of the Criminal Procedure Act provides that an interrogation of a suspect conducted by an investigative agency other than a public prosecutor shall be deemed imminent guarantee of credit, and thus, even if authenticity and voluntariness are recognized in the interrogation of a suspect, it was legislated to the effect that the admissibility of evidence is denied unless the defendant who is the original person, or his/her defense counsel admits the contents in a public trial or its preparation procedure (see Supreme Court Decision 94Do2287, Mar. 24, 1995). In light of the legislative intent and the text of the law, it is not applicable only to an interrogation protocol prepared by an investigative agency other than the public prosecutor of the defendant who was the suspect, and it shall be deemed that the statement made by the former public prosecutor itself is subject to the application of the investigation agency other than the public prosecutor. Thus, in a case where the statement made by the professional person is denied the contents of the statement made by the defendant before the investigative agency other than the public prosecutor, it shall be deemed inadmissible regardless of whether the contents of the statement are written in the interrogation protocol or whether the professional is a third person, not a victim (see.
According to the records, even if the defendant made a statement of confession of his crime to the victim, such statement by the investigative police officer was made on March 26, 1999 after the defendant arrested the defendant, and the second examination of the suspect's interrogation of the defendant against the defendant on March 26, 1999 after the date of the second examination of the suspect's interrogation of the defendant against the victim. Thus, since the defendant's statement by a professional witness who made a confession from the defendant is denied the contents of the statement in court, the admissibility of evidence cannot be acknowledged in light of the provisions of Article 312 (2) of the Criminal Procedure Act and its purport.
The judgment of the court below to the same purport is just, and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as to Article 316 (1) of the Criminal Procedure Act, as alleged in the
2. In light of the records, the decision of the court of first instance that affirmed the judgment of the court of first instance that acquitted the defendant on the grounds that the court below rejected the credibility of the victim's statement and there is no evidence to prove the defendant's criminal facts, is just and there is no error of misconception of facts due to
3. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
