Scope and content : June 4, 1969. Moerman had lunch with Penthip, who was a judge, discussing various interesting issues. First, it was necessary to apply the prescribed penalties of criminal cases (Yi Tok) in conviction because young judges had insufficient experience to settle the cases. Second, the police should assist with the work of the court by screening cases and by investigating suspects with fairness. They should not use force and impose charges on the accused. Third, a problem with graft in the fraud cases, which deviated decisions, was raised in the conversation. Fourth, personal conflict between judges may cause problems with the conviction. Fifth, police and prosecutors often chose to file the lawsuits to sue defendants, even if there was no evidence, because they wanted to show accomplishment.
