Prosecution Head Wants Plea Bargaining System

Prosecutor General Lim Chae-jin says the prosecution will work to introduce a plea-bargaining system.

In a ceremony to mark the 60th birthday of the prosecution, Lim said it’s time to introduce a plea-bargaining system to effectively punish criminals.

He added that his agency will study all plea-bargaining systems adopted in advanced countries to introduce one that respects human rights before making a final decision.

A future planning taskforce at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office has reviewed a draft measure on a limited plea-bargaining system that reduces punishment when the defendant pleads guilty to charges with court approval.
