Jang Ja Yeon's Letter Might Be Fake

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

On March 10th, investigators from the National Institute of Scientific Investigation have revealed that they suspect the handwritten letters left behind by the late actress Jang Ja Yeon may in fact be fabricated.
After netizens demanded that Jang Ja Yeon’s case be re-opened, police obtained the rights to investigate the letters in question on March 9th and detailed their findings below.
Investigators found a total of seven areas in 23 letters and 5 envelopes that brought up suspicions of fabrication. In their investigation, police discovered a faint line between the postmarked and recipient information. It was also revealed that parts of the letters, such as the postmark information, were cut up and pasted onto other letters before being sent to court. The part of the envelopes that contained the recipient information were revealed to have been cut 4cm x 1cm on three different envelopes, while others had holes punched in them.
An individual named Jun (31) had revealed the existence of these letters, but considering the new forensic details of their handling, police are suspecting Jun of “intentionally attempting to hide where the letters were sent from.”
Police also found that out of the 2,439 letters that were exchanged from jail during the period of November 2003 to March 2010, none were sent by anyone named Jang Ja Yeon or her alias, ‘Sulhwa.’ Additionally, Jun was found to have been in possession of over 1,000 A4 papers that police suspected were used for copying.
The National Institute of Scientific Investigation claimed that they will re-investigate the case once they find confirmation that the letters were indeed handwritten by Jang Ja Yeon.

Damn it, that was a terrible first comment.

If this is true then.....well its gonna screw up any future cases. Why would you make up stuff like this? These people who are abused and taken advantage of need all the help they can get and releasing fake letters is just gonna stop people trusting any allegations made. Smh

ugh

may justice prevail

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Huh of course they would say that.

[atenais-pala.livejournal.com]

I was thinking the same.

[kms012.livejournal.com]

My train of thought too, to be honest.

[orangeinsanity.livejournal.com]

mmmhmm

MTE

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

seriouly, it was only a matter of time

I was thinking the same thing. Trying to hide the postmark info doesn't necessarily mean the content is fake.

[big-bananas.livejournal.com]

feel the same way :(

[devilstay.livejournal.com]

To be honest, this is what I was thinking...when men of power are involved, atrocities such as these, are always 'solved'and no one gets ant justice.

[cher-ex3.livejournal.com]

MTE.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

anything to try and make this go away

[chidori-73.livejournal.com]

but I thought a graphologist had already confirmed she wrote those letters...

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

exactly

[omissnyo.livejournal.com]

oic

[ayamefan13.livejournal.com]

I thought it was already confirmed real. WTH is going on?!

[fuuism.livejournal.com]

So this Jun is the same as the Jeon that was found guilty of rape in 2003 who they're saying was her 'aide/friend' in other articles, just romanized differently. I was confused for a second.

[notochrasy.livejournal.com]

This article is so...vague...

If the letter is real, it's credibility has already raised doubts amongst so many people because of the articles coming out about the "suspicions of fabrication"

idk, what to believe. There needs to be more information released before I can believe anything. Is there an actual statement by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation in written form?
Because so far this is mostly the media talking, the media in South Korea, and transparency isn't really big in Korean media. I don't want to think that there's any possibility of a HUGE COVER UP to save some corporate asses, but idk..it's always possible.
Whether it's real or not, I just hope the truth comes out.

[spazzndance.livejournal.com]

Echoing comments above. I thought that it has already been confirmed as real. I'm so confused :x All I want is to see justice prevail and those assholes who are responsible get what they deserve.

[lockerkeys.livejournal.com]

this is so screwed up :|

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

pffff seems like a cover up to me but how can we know when media just reports shit everyday. i just hope people serve justice and not those scumbags who took advantage of her. smh

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

I hope forensic linguists get to the bottom of this, and that the graphologists were right, and that nobody has been paid to lie about this. That would really suck.

[talk-play-love.livejournal.com]

How hard would it really be for the men who raped her to stir up suspicion to cover their asses?

The very first thing that happens in rape cases is that people will try to prove it's valid other than try proving that it's not. They investigate with the mindset of, "did rape really occur?" other than "what may suggest that rape didn't occur?" This makes it difficult and painful for the woman to have to plea her case and most times no justice is ever served. Especially in this case where we're dealing with powerful men, they can easily pay off/fabricate anything to get the scent off them and I wouldn't put it past them to do so.

This will just get messier from here.

How convenient.

[831panda831.livejournal.com]

I don't believe its fake more then I believe that they are trying to protect those animals.

[death-folder.livejournal.com]

it feels like this is just the beginning of a nasty wank with even more suspicions,pointing fingers,blaming games,etc ...

[veeveeboo.livejournal.com]

oh 2011 and your complicated dramas/issues.

and we're not even halfway through March.

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

oh? so NOW that some names are leaked the letters are FAKE???? how come no one thought it "investigate" this before when the story of the letters existing came up in the first place?

smh...

[kiki3291.livejournal.com]

Wasn't this confirmed by an expert already? :| Wow, Korea. Not entirely surprised, tbh, I read comments that a few of the names on the list are linked to the Korean government.

[yeocheon.livejournal.com]

This is sad and poor, Korea.

[lapetite-indigo.livejournal.com]

Didn't they confirm the letters were real with a handwriting expert?

seriously confused rn.

[donutism.livejournal.com]

Good job, Korea.

[tokidokilolita.livejournal.com]

This is disgusting.
If they are seriously doubting the legitimacy of these letters only after the names were leaked and they get away with it, I'm going to rage.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

ugh, i can see victim blamming to start in 1, 2, 3.

I need to keep calm and smell.

[katzsong.livejournal.com]

I got confuse...so they suspect it is fabricated based on the writing on envelopes? Postmark? 'Coz they're not revealing the "real" location of where it was sent from?
Not from the actual handwriting on the letters and compare it to other JJY's writing/choice of words/etc that psychological forensic stuffs?

...... Way to go to cover some crap there *roll eyes* /rolls away
