Chive Mozzarella Caprese, and a Prosecutor's Duty of Objectivity

(Ideally you'd use red onion, which has less bite, and let it marinate for about an hour, but there wasn't time for that.) Slice chive and mozzarella cheese neatly and layer them in order on top of the marinated onion. A little more dressing and olive oil finishes off this #chivemozzarellacaprese. *This recipe is from Yoon Eun-hye's (yes, formerly of Baby V.O.X.) 'Do Eat Again.' A prosecutor must investigate and submit to the court not only evidence proving the defendant's guilt, but also evidence in the defendant's favor. That's because a prosecutor, while standing as the opposing party to the defendant in criminal proceedings, is at the same time a representative of the public interest with a duty to uncover the substantive truth. This principle — that a prosecutor must carry out their duties from the standpoint of an objective third party — is called the 'duty of objectivity.' (Park Yong-hyun, A Prosecutor's Duty of Objectivity) To be objective means to see and judge things from a third party's perspective. In daily life and at work, I often find myself recalling this duty of objectivity, even though I'm under no obligation to. It's always a hard thing to do.
