They would leave her by herself in her room and come over. So I would ask them ‘what are you going to do if Jung In gets hurt’ to which they responded that she played well by herself. They claimed that she would just fall asleep if she got tired.

  • “Let’s hope she gets the death sentence. We can’t just leave her like that.”
  • “I get a feeling that woman isn’t going to admit to her faults easily. She abused a child for five months. She gave up her rights as a human being.”
  • “Let’s hurry up and give her the death penalty. She’s a real life psychopath.”
  • “Let’s do a public execution.”
  • “If you’re going to be crazy, at least be a good crazy.”
  • “There’s evidence and she still says she didn’t do it…”
