🌟 🌈 🎄 King Cambyses ruled the Persian Empire in the 6th century BC. The royal judge at the time was Sisamnes. Cissamnes was a royal judge responsible for the judgment during the reign of Cambyses II (530–522 BC). He often took bribes secretly and made fraudulent judgments. When this became known, rich people flocked to Sisamnes. In addition, those who committed felony by bribing and appealing seemed to have been pardoned without difficulty. Sisamnes took bribes and led a luxurious life. As a result, more rich people came to Sisamnes' house and conciliated him with money, and Sisamnes, who had absolute power as a judge, was making wealth without difficulty using the law. No one could touch Judge Sisamnes. Because he was dealing with the law. However, as the number of unfair victims increased one by one, this fact finally entered the ears of King Cambyses. Angered King Cambyses punished Sisamnes for skinning and killing him. He let everyone watch his punishment process to alarm all Persian judges. King Cambyses put him to death, stripping him of all his skin while alive. Then, he tanned the skin of Sisamnes and covered it on the chair he sat on when Sisamnes made his judgment. And King Cambyses appointed his son Otanes as a judge to replace Sisamnes and made him sit in the chair. King Cambyses tells Otanes: "When you are on trial, don't forget what chair you are sitting on, even in your dreams. “ Otanes, who became the new judge, had to sit on his father's skin and watch Songsa. There could be no injustice. It would have been brutal to sit in a chair made of father's leather and make a judgment. However, King Cambyses implemented it for fair law enforcement, and the Persian people cheered for this decisive decision. The emphasis on the importance of integrity in justice cannot be overemphasized. Looking at the current situation in Korea, I don't know how jealous Cambises' decision is. Corruption of judges causes distrust in our society. Distrust, that is, a country that has lost trust, is weakening its social structure itself. This is because they do not trust each other, do not trust the judiciary, and then do not trust the state. Cambyses' story is at the request of the Bruges City Council in Belgium, painted by Gerard David and hung in the Groningen Museum in Bruges, Belgium. It is the famous 'Judgment of King Cambises (produced in 1498).' Consisting of two panels, the work provides moral lessons on judicial corruption. By modern standards, punishment may seem overly cruel, but this reflects the ruler's will to maintain social order and strengthen social trust and values. The example of King Cambyses shows how serious the weight of responsibility according to power and the consequences of betraying public trust are. what the judgment of king cambises thus symbolizes means the fair realization of the law and strong punishment for the judicial person who has lost the fairness Law is the last bastion to maintain social order. However, the judicial system of the Republic of Korea is in crisis. The examples of Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il and Jeolla-do Judge Kim Dong-hyun prove that they are today's "Sisamnes of Korea." Currently, these corrupt judges Sisamnes seem to exist countless times along politics and ideology. However, the voices of true private corporations who blame and reflect on this are not heard. Perhaps our laws are already occupied by the Sisamnes, losing justice and fairness. The Republic of Korea must restore fairness and justice from these left-wing Sisamnes. No matter who peels off the skin, the country must survive. Martial law may be imposed for this purpose. If martial law is the only way to save the country, we can live under martial law for decades. So I ask. There is no living Cheongbaek-ri judge who follows the spirit and honor of the judicial person! 2024. 11. 28. Poet Jeong Jae-hak in Jeolla-do
