i kinda wish more unfair ruling were shown because that’s rlly common in the US,, like 30 years for weed but then 4 years for raping someone

Should've showed the video of the dad of one of the victims attacking Larry Nassar in court

I’m just saying Korea gave a man who yes robbed a place (he had no weapon) but another of his partners did and shot someone they gave him life in prison for being an assailant. But then they gave someone who brutally raped a young child almost to death 12 years and he’s already released while the other dude is still sitting in prison. Honestly heartbreaking for victims in Korea

they’re all law students?? omg you’re all beautiful, smart and funny, life isn’t fair haha

What's sad is someone with drugs would get a longer sentence than someone who rapes a person.

3:54 if you see the full court video, you can see him smiling all the time except when he was sentenced to life in prison. It's not funny no more, huh?

that’s what i love about the us. you can get multiple life sentences depending on how gruesome your crime is. the assailant won’t live to complete all those years, but it has a certain flamboyancy that i just adore

these girls ARE BEAUTY WITH BRAIN!!♡♡

Some states in the U.S still have the death penalty. There are also cases where criminals get off easy for some reason that's often the fault of the system or inadequate prosecutors or judges. Also, if people don't know why some people have ridiculously long sentences, if they're sentence gets reduced for "good behavior" they're still not seeing the light of day. If you read enough cases and true crimes from the U.S, any trust you had in the justice system may be swayed lol. Not only of criminals getting off easy, but also innocent people having their lives taken away because the justice system failed them. There was a case I listened to yesterday that was about these 3 teen girls that tortured and killed a 12-year-old girl . The prosecutor was so dumb, he made a better offer than the defendants could ever. If they plead guilty, they would get charged for a max of 60 years or something but there is a law in that state where your sentence is knocked down a year for every good behavior day. Each of them only got served 30 - 60 years and ended up serving only half their sentence. Yes, they were technically still kids, but the level they went to kill this girl was nuts. There are also other cases of children becoming murderers. There's an infamous one of a 10-year-old serial killer in the UK and the Broken Arrow killings which were about these two brothers (16, 18) that killed most of their family members because they worshipped the Columbine High School shooters

My mindset is simple, if someone hurt's my wife or daughters, i am willing to go to jail, after ruining life of people who hurt them .

Wow talk about beauty with brains. No wonder they were good at empathising with the people in videos shown till now ❤️

They're law students! I like them even more. Fun and smart.

I am starting to feel that they’re more educated on the U.S. than I am

The "punish the sin not the sinner" refers to the individuals' need to see past the crime so that you can forgive the person, not to absolve them of their crime but for your own mental health. The State's job is to protect the innocent and punish the guilty

They went from being happy at the intro to being sad and serious. It happens guys don’t worry.

I wanted them to also show unfair rulings. Maybe a ruling were the defendant was innocent but still sent to prison. Just more examples of how bad the justice system can get in the America.

You guys should react to Judge Judy. They'll be addicted to that show lol.

OMG!!!!!! These girls have been making me laugh and fall in love with them for so long, now they are law students as well!?!?!? I love them even more 😍😍😍 ChaCha is still my favorite!!!!!

Really should do a part 2 I’d love to see their reaction to the one where the Muslim father forgave the guy who killed his son who was delivering pizza he even hugged the killer

The reason why the sentences are so high is because the us has rules that differ between states about how much of the sentence they must serve before being eligible for parole. So let's say you come from a state that says you must serve at least 2/3 of his sentence before being eligible for parole, that doctor would have to serve 117 years first, so he's never getting out. While a few states in America still have the death penalty, that is never used for sex crimes no matter how many people they've violated. That's reserved for murderers.

I hate the whole oh it’s a child they should get a lesser sentence kids and teenagers are smarter then you think. Some kids do the crime but don’t care because they know they are going to get a shorter sentence. I think the US should stop doing that shit it’s annoying because I go see oh a kid killed 9 people but he is plead not guilty because he’s a child a teenager. Being younger doesn’t change anything. It’s scary because small children are smarter than we take them for

아니… 영상 꾸준히 봐왔는데 오늘 처음알았어요 모두가 법학과라는것을!!!!! ㅜㅠㅠㅜ볼때마다 그 여러분들의 똘끼와 유머 리액션 사이사이에 똑똑함이 묻어나온게 이유가 있었군용 다들 멋져유

I loved this one too!!! Ya'll are so doooope. Much love from Atlanta, GA, USA💙

Cha Cha's comment at 2:52 is very insightful as she has identified what Anglosphere criminal justice is about. The primary purpose of our criminal justice system is to make moral statements, although this has been forgotten as of late. Sometime in the 1970's, the "experts" decided that people lacked moral agency, but rather were somehow slaves to their passions, and that they could be "rehabilitated" by "addressing the root causes" of crime. Despite the fact that this has been such a failure that we can now only talk about a low crime rate only in relation to the terribly high crime rate in the early '80's (the level of social harmony we had in the '50's is so unimaginable that no crime rate comparisons with that era are ever made), we are doubling down on stupid and continuing this "rehabilitation" practice. As an aside, rehabilitation through the criminal justice system does not work in general because (1) it is impossible to force somebody to change - the person must *want* to change and (2) getting better inevitably includes making mistakes, but since all the criminal justice system has is the stick of harsher re-sentencing, the defendant is perversely incentivized to conceal mistakes rather than acknowledge them and get help. All this practice has done is create a whole industry of court-ordered treatment providers. Getting back to the topic at hand, we know that the criminal justice system is designed to make moral statements because we have things like a "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard of proof for the prosecution and the 8th Amendment prohibiting "cruel and unusual" sentences. This is why speeding is punished with a fine, burglary with prison (one hopes) and murder with up to death, depending on the jurisdiction. East Asian criminal justice systems, on the other hand, have historically been about deterrence. This is why there is the collective guilt punishment of executing up to 9 generations of the convict's family. In the Anglosphere, this is abhorrent because these family members did nothing wrong, and so their punishment does not make a coherent moral statement. However, the Chinese (and Chinese-influenced) system is not interested in that. Rather, sentencing a criminal's family to death serves two purposes: (1) It makes the punishment unreasonably harsh such that the cost-benefit analysis of committing the crime will always mean that it isn't worth the risk, and (2) It makes a person's family take care to police their own, for self-preservation if for nothing else. With regard to the American juvenile justice system, it works differently from the criminal justice system. Technically, minors cannot commit crimes; rather they commit "delinquent acts," which would be crimes if committed by an adult. The underlying assumption is that minors lack the mental capability and/or life experience to make good decisions, and the juvenile justice system is designed to intervene and "fix" the kid before his anti-social ways become habitual. Thus, in the juvenile justice system, the level of offense is unrelated to sentencing. Before this system was in place, children under 10 years of age were completely immune from prosecution (it is actually still like this in most places), but persons 10 year old or older were subject to the full force of the criminal justice system. The juvenile justice system created a status between 10 and 21 where the minor was subject to some sort of official state intervention, but not the criminal justice system. Originally, the idea was that the delinquent would be sat down with his parents, the judge, the prosecutor, the police and possibly the victims in a manner designed to make the minor admit to and acknowledge wrongdoing, then everyone would come up with a way to address the situation that would be in the "best interest of the child." However, around the time that we were embarking on the rehabilitative model of criminal justice for adults, the courts decided that a minors in the juvenile system should be afforded the same rights as criminal defendants even though the system had been set up to be different. Thus, we now have a situation where the minor is incentivized to deny wrongdoing and fight the system but yet the system still acts as if the child has admitted fault and must act in the child's best interest. Additionally, the juvenile justice system is a bit over inclusive and does not make the distinction between a 12-year-old shoplifting and a 17-year-old robbing somebody at gunpoint. The delinquent in the second video smirked not only because he had no remorse for his actions, but also because he had likely been in the juvenile justice system before, and while there learned that there were no real consequences for committing delinquent acts. Because of this sort of thing, many jurisdictions have created ways to try these junior criminals "as adults," but the criminal justice "reformers" have been trying to di away with these sort of laws. Finally, actual prison sentences can seem very long, but they often are not because we have no truth in sentencing. A good rule of thumb is to take the time sentenced, divide it by half, then subtract 18 months to figure out how long the convict will actually be incarcerated. This is because many jurisdictions have "mandatory parole" in which the convict is entitled to be released early simply for not violating prison rules. Moreover, convicts are usually given the opportunity to do some sort of work in prison (stereotypically, making license plates), for which they are credited time (which usually is vested and cannot be removed for bad behavior). Prior to actual parole, prisoners are sent to a halfway house to help re-integrate them into society (this is where the 18 months comes from). Thus, combined with credit for pre-trial incarceration, a person sentenced to 4 years in prison might not actually see the prison at all, but rather be immediately sent to the halfway house. A very long prison sentence, therefore, could be a judge's way to get around this, especially in a jurisdiction where "life without the possibility of parole" doesn't exist. In such places a 200-year sentence may result in more actual incarceration than a "life" sentence.

"They don't limit the sentence to life" The total years is a SUM of all the charges. with 126 people bringing up charges, only a certain % of those could be proven beyond reasonable doubt. The punishment for EACH of those remaining charges is summed up to the "longer than life" sentence... but the next step for him and his lawyer is to lower the length of time by appealing (fighting back) to each charge.

If you guys do a part 2, I'd be curious to see their reaction to Ethan Couch and his "affluenza" defence

much better to enjoy watching the video all the way through with them not so loud any more, thank you for fixing that problem...I love them now

OMG more videos like this please!

This was really interesting to watch, I hope we get more law related videos!

They are soo gorgeous I love the videos so much too 💕

So, in Korea they have lawyers as models? Wow, what a country.

Law students??? Damn!!!! They are smart girlssss

MJ looking very professional! Love it!

Oooo I want more content like this!

It would be cool to see another one of these

Imagine someone at 20 go to jail for 100 years, survived that, and be released at 120. Take some breaths in freedom and than die. Would be hilarious^^

0:02 Minji disproving her previous statement that she doesn’t ‘shake’. LOL

I love this channel so much

I loved this video I want to see more like this

I noticed the girl in the white t-shirt with short hair (Cha Cha) reminds me of one of the two young korean karaoke girls who was popular in the early 2000's.

I’m curious to know their reaction to a video of a woman sentenced in Michigan. She was convicted of the murder of her boyfriend, yet smiled at the families of the victim as they cried telling to court of their pain. She also plead she acted in self defense, yet evidence showed the opposite. Once the judge sentenced her, he went off on her and told her “I hope you die in prison.” In that trial I think justice was served for the victim and the family, and the judge expressed all the pain and anger they were feeling.

That's awesome everyone is a law student. I would love to see more reactions on different aspects of the law (in Korea and the U.S.).

I like what the one girl said about the long (beyond life) sentence. "You are at fault this much."

Watching this months later I didn’t realize that the case they reviewed of the nursery happened in my city, and I know people who knew the victim, I was in highschool when it occurred and that year had several students die of various causes, and to see that callous disregard of the damage he caused in court I am absolutely disgusted, and I am one rhat typically advocates for lower sentences as I don’t think necessarily all can be fixed with a longer sentence, but I hope he got life.

Getting to learn about laws in different countries is so important 👌

It was really cool that they are all law students watching the rulings. I really appreciated their insight and commentary. I liked what they said about punishment AND reformation. I think there needs to be more reformation in the US system because too many times once prisoners are released they reoffend and end up back in court and jail. It's a vicious cycle that's hard to break.

“I’d condemn the sinner as well”. Exactly!

Cha Cha is a cutie:)

this video surprised me a lot! I would've thought the exact opposite, that korea punishes suspects very heavily and over tiny things.

We stan four lovely queens who can school us about law.

compared to korea, the u.s law system is much harsher (as it should be for criminals). while it is unfair for certain instances, when it comes to sentencing murderers and rapists, they do get longer sentences then they would in korea most of the time.

just sharing I've never been this early on there videos lolol

Minji cute😘😘😍😍😍😍😍😍

They should react to their own laws Koreans are very lenient in low sentencing

I've been watching them for so long.. I didn't know they're law students lol

The one with the Jordan Klee case, pretty sure it's not what I've heard about it but I hope you showed them what the judge said after because it didn't end there... he let the family decide what to do and they decided to finish this as soon as possible so they could start moving on and healing so he got 25 years or something I think

Also, the victims of Larry Nassar weren’t young little kids. They were mostly teenage girls. Olympians even.

Damn I didn’t know Jordan video would make it in here. We went to same middle school and high school.

We need more law-based content!! That would soo interesting

Still liked the video because this channel is great

Wow, they keep mixing up the pairings. I don't believe I've ever seen Chacha and Heejin work together. I didn't realize that all four were still going to university. Getting a law degree is a lengthy process, so that would explain it.

Great video

For something more heartwarming, they should watch some of the municipal court proceedings from the channel "Caught in Providence". It's mostly traffic and parking violations, and Judge Caprio is known for his compassion towards the people that come before him in court.

Four goddesses with wonderful reactions. 💕💕💕💕💕💕

In the US sentences are addressed based on the court the trial was held in. Local crimes (say a murder or theft) are handled by a state court and the judge often has authority to alter the recommended sentence. Federal (aka national) crimes are those involving more than one state (say smuggling ring from one state to another) or against the country (like bombing a government building) have fairly strict sentencing rules. Even with "good behavior" the guilty must spend 85% of original sentence in prison.

They should react to beyond scared straight

These girls are going to be BRUTAL lawyers. 🤣🤣🤣

Minji and MJ😋😋😋🥰🥰🥰

I think the Korean government should allow the criminals' faces to be shown on screen to the public. They reveal the faces of the victims and regular citizens who reported the crime but blur out the criminals. Why do they protect the criminals identities and not the victims?? How many times did a victim or someone who reported the crime/called the police become victims of yet another crime because their privacy was not protected and the criminals were able to get to them for "revenge"? I just cannot comprehend why they do it this way and it is beyond frustrating every time I watch the Korean news.

I have never seen how a trial goes in my country 😔 I don't even know if it is possible to watch it somewhere. I don't know how things are with heavy crimes but here there is a thing called "acumulation". Someone could have stolen one phone or 101 but he will be charged only for the one that cost the most if all the crimes are done before he/she got caught. It is so messed up 😤😤😤

US will have absurdly long sentences because different things (like the time before parole can be offered, or appeals to some, but not all convictions, etc) can be applied separately to each conviction as needed. Example being someone hit with 9 counts of something, and getting 15 years from each. 135 years. But that 135 is being affected by 9 sentences, each with their own, isolated effects. So if theres a minimum amount of time you have to serve to qualify for parole, that minimum applies separately for each. So 9 times as long. Or if, say, 5 of those convictions get appealed and dumped, but the other 4 stay, youll still end up with 60 years, without needing to resentence. So its just a way to have everything accounted for from the beginning, and allow for easier calculation and procedure later.

Beautiful Korean girls. ♥️

Sentencing length rarely deters criminals if they want to do the crime.

다들 법학과였다니 미모 브레인 미쳤다

Here a life sentence is 10 years with no parole. I was sexually assaulted from age 6~11 by a family member and he got 5 years, but got out on parole after 4 with no surveillance or monitoring after his sentence ends, he was almost granted parole twice before then too. My father was brutally murdered, the killer deemed to have deliberately and violently murder him, found guilty on all parts, got a life sentence- 10 years. He's been in there 14 as of this year, because he's an aggressive psycho, but they're looking to release him 2022. Our justice system is a joke.

I hope this can become a series. It's so interesting to listen to their perspectives on cases like these.

It is my understanding that the rulings in most cases come up for parole after approx. 1/3 of the sentence has been served, so a life sentence, considered to be 100 years, usually only lasts about 33 1/3 years before the first eligibility for parole. This is mitigated if the defendant is sentence to a term with out the possibility of parole, that is my understanding, but then I never went to any law school or have a piece of paper saying I am more smarterer enough to know these things.

They should've reacted to Brock Turner's case....and Tucker Hipp's case (the hazers probably bribed law officials). Both times, justice wasn't served.

Not all DUI offenders get that much time. I have a friend her daughter was killed by a drunk driver. And he isn't in jail.

i really wish you guys touched on the unfair rulings especially in relation to race and sexual assault

you should react to their full testimony Simon Biles, Mckyalya Maroney, Maggie Nichols and Aly Raisman

Somehow now that I know they are all law students they became weirdly that much more precious to me. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Like these lovely girls with such wonderful personalities are currently slogging through a law degree? They are so bright and cheerful and full of optimism when I would think even the average person would be negative and jaded much less somebody who has to constantly study the failings of humanity😔 (As an aside I finished watching law school on netflix recently and I can't help but feel like I know a tiny bit about what you guys go through.....even though I'm aware realisticly the show was probably super inaccurate and the life of the average law student has zero in common with what was depicted 😅)

Should’ve shown the court videos about The Slenderman case.

I wanted to take a second to answer one of the ladies' questions: "Does the age of the perpetrator change the nature of the crime" In America, yes, that's exactly what that means for us. If you are tried as a juvenile, it's understood that your crime (even when serious) is in some way related to the fact that you are young. And that by BEING young, not only could you have been influenced easily by those around you to commit the crime, but you have time yet to change your actions in the future and BECOME a useful member of society. However, just because you are a minor does not guarantee you are tried as a juvenile. In serious cases, such as with murder (especially with intent, or premeditation), a judge will often move to try you as an adult due to the severity of the crime, or if you've displayed a clear and unwavering personality in the matter (Such as with this young man, he likely would have been tried as an adult had he smirked like that in the earlier court visits, which goes to show just how clear-headed he was about the murder) Basically, as a whole, we've shifted to this "stay in jail forever" or "You have a chance to change and it shouldn't hurt your future as an adult just in case you do change". Many of us disagree with how this is done, myself personally due to the fact that it's quite literally a "free pass" to do one or two bad things as a child before it goes on your permanent record.

the third one was in the same county that i live in

Please watch judge Judy next

For some circumstances you are able to serve multiple sentences at the same time which could allow you to go through 40 years of sentence in only 20. There's also the fact that when you get convicted of multiple charges, like you might see someone with multiple life sentences - this is to make sure they aren't released even if they were to beat one of the charges, which could happen for procedural reasons

Most offenders in America don't serve the full sentence -- they are often given parole. The longer sentence will affect opportunity for parole.

Minjiiiii make an Instagram alreadyyyyyy

It would be interesting for them to see cases where someone was found guilty after their trial but advances in science such as DNA proved that they were an innocent person wrongly convicted. There are a lot of flaws within the American justice system but the harsh reality is the more money you have the better your chances of getting a reduced sentence because of a good lawyer. Then compare that to someone who needs to rely on an oftentimes overworked public (free) attorney because they can't pay.

Where can I find Korean court videos I can't find none at all

I never knew they were law students!!

I wonder if dis is what Billie was singing about in that one song power

So many beautiful and passionate young women becoming lawyers I love it

My uncle got permanent brain damage as well as physical damage that no amount of therapy and surgery could fix. He was hit by a drunk driver at the age of 7. The driver got life and had to pay for all medical bills as well as a cash settlement for essentially ruining my uncle's life. He was 65 when he passed. I can never forgive someone who drinks and drives.

She was right when she said if it's a child the crime should be seen differently. I'm American and I gotta say in the back of my mind this has always bothered me to. Like that teenager that killed all them people in that black church. We sentenced him to death. This has always bothered me.

I'm proud I know something about court! They give all available sentences, even if they go past life, just incase one of the charges fall through in appellate court. So lets say I was charged with 1st degree murder and 1st degree felony. Both would get me life sentences without chance of parole. If the government or court system retracts one charge, one life sentence is taken off, but the other one is put in its place. This makes it easier rather than having to go to court again in order to get a brand new sentence. (I think this is how it works...I'm still learning from my business law class as a HS junior....)

Can yous do a video where yous show unfair rulings? Like people getting an unfair sentence or people basically being ‘let off’

I thought the judge said 15 (not 50) years. Also, in the US it will be well under 15yrs in most cases. Early release in Korea?

👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
