[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] In the trial of the 16-month-old adopted child "Jeong-in case," the prosecution requested the court to order the attachment of an electronic location tracking device (electronic anklet) on the adoptive mother, Jang Mo.

The Criminal Division 13 of the Seoul Southern District Court (Chief Judge Lee Sang-ju) held a trial session on the 7th regarding charges against Jang Mo for murder and violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Child Abuse Crimes (child abuse resulting in death), and charges against the adoptive father, Ahn Mo, for violation of the Child Welfare Act (child abuse, etc.).

At the trial, the prosecution stated, "Jang Mo has a self-centered tendency that prioritizes satisfying her desires. When her desires are frustrated, she appears to have difficulty controlling her emotions and lacks consideration and empathy for others. There is a risk that she may commit murder again in the future, so we request an order for probation with an electronic location tracking device."

In response, Jang Mo's defense attorney said, "We believe there is no opportunity or possibility for the defendant to reoffend," and requested the court to dismiss the prosecution's request.
