2. Determination

A. 1) In light of the spirit of the substantial direct and psychological principle adopted by the Korean Criminal Procedure Act, the appellate court shall respect the first instance court’s decision as to the credibility of a witness’s statement, unless there are exceptional circumstances to deem that the first instance court clearly erred with regard to the credibility of a witness’s statement (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2006Do4994, Nov. 24, 2006). Since there is no legal rule that a witness’s statement in an investigative agency and testimony in the court are different, the latter should be believed if the testimony in the same investigation agency and the testimony in the court are different, even if a criminal facts are acknowledged with belief in another investigative agency’s testimony in the court and the statement in another investigative agency, it belongs to free trial (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2001Do665, Jan. 25, 2002). Meanwhile, considering the fact that the statement in the criminal procedure should be more serious than the statement in the criminal investigation agency’s basic principle of direct and criminal trial.
