Furthermore, in a case where the defendant consistently led to confession from an investigative agency to the date of trial, and reversed the Gap self confession from a certain trial date, in addition to examining the credibility of the confession statement, the court below’s adoption of the facts charged by the defendant in consultation with the investigative agency, including the motive, reason, and circumstance leading up to the reversal of confession, and whether there is evidence supporting the confession (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2016Do1781, Jun. 17, 2019).
