CONCLUSION

Giving a special treatment for the Suspect Interrogation Record prepared by a prosecutor is a relic of the inquisitorial system where judges and prosecutors work as one unit in the criminal justice system.¹⁰⁰ Also in the era of experi­menting with a jury system, the practice of showing reluctance to give up the Record is not compatible with what people demand.

The change regarding the admissibility of the Suspect Interrogation Record prepared by a prosecutor was the first step toward having a true adversarial system where the right of the accused can be guaranteed in a more meaning­ful way.¹⁰¹ People’s desire to have a fairer criminal justice system will be fulfilled when both the prosecution and the defense share a level playing field.¹⁰²
