Young S. Koo

Phantom Justice Young S. Koo

This is a story of how and why phantom justice was created. In the trial of Dr. Young Koo, the prosecutors Jon DeGuilio and Phillip Benson convicted Koo through an undercurrent of foul play in the court proceedings. So Koo appealed for the reversal of his wrongful conviction, but the appellate court, anxious to defend the State's errors, denied Koo's claims. Koo, therefore, felt deprived of a way to see justice but, instead, lost his civil and constitutional rights. This book also portrays the life he experienced as an alien in an Indiana prison and offers evidence of how the Department of Corrections was running a dope business. Surprisingly, after DeGuilio convicted Koo, he became a U. S. district court judge in the South Bend Division.
