Connect the YTN relay car to the field. Reporter Na Hye-in! Governor Kim Gyeong-soo’s second prayer is at 2 pm, but is the audience already gathering? Yes, Governor Kim’s appeal hearing will be held at 311 Court, Seoul High Court West Building, starting at 2 pm today. There is still enough time left, but the entrance to the court is packed with citizens who want to receive hearing rights from the morning. Tickets for the public are distributed in order of arrival from 1:20 pm and there are already 20 people in line. Governor Kim is said to arrive about 20 minutes before the trial and reveal his feelings about the sentencing before going to court. Since November 2016, Governor Kim has been on trial on charges of illegal manipulation of public opinion using the ‘King Crab’ comment manipulation program to win the elections of ‘Draking’ Kim Dong-won and President Moon Jae. -in. Furthermore, after conspiring to continue to manipulate comments until the 2018 local elections, he is also tasked with proposing the position of consul general in Sendai, Japan to Drucking in return. The first trial admitted Governor Kim’s charges as guilty, sentenced him to two years in prison for manipulating comments and incarcerated the court, and sentenced him to 10 months in prison and two years probation for violating the Public Officials Elections Act. . Governor Kim has since been released on bail at the second trial and tried on a disabled basis. Elected public officials will be invalidated if they are sentenced to more than 1 million won in fines for violating the Public Officials Elections Act, or imprisonment or more in a general criminal case. In particular, if a fine of more than 1 million won is confirmed for violating the electoral law, you will be deprived of the right to be elected for the next five years, and for ten years if you receive a prison sentence. Regardless of the outcome of the second trial, if an appeal is filed, the governor may remain in the governorship position until the final decision of the Supreme Court is made. It can be said that the political luck of Governor Kim is at stake. What is the subject of the appeals? Governor Kim, who has always insisted on innocence, continues to argue about the ‘King Crab’ demo, a comment manipulation program in the first place. The first trial court ruled that Governor Kim approved or at least agreed to develop the program after watching Drooking’s ‘King Crab’ demo based on site access logs. Earlier this year, the second trial court also tentatively concluded that Governor Kim had seen the king crab demonstration. In particular, the so-called ‘Dak Galbi Workshop’ emerged as an important topic in the subsequent testing process. Governor Kim argued that it was impossible to see ‘King Crab’ and said he dined with Drooking members and chicken ribs at a time when it was recognized that there was a demonstration in the first trial. At the same time, the owner of the Dakgalbi restaurant was called as a witness and received a statement that Governor Kim appeared to have packed the food and produced a receipt. However, Ik-beom Heo’s special inspection team borrowed from the statements of other members and refuted that Governor Kim was late and ate chicken ribs only among the members. Also, at the second trial, a battle over so-called “reverse remarks” took place while discussing whether Druking and Governor Kim were in collusion. The “reverse work” was when Drucking’s party and candidate Moon Jae-in pressed “sympathy” for negative comments toward the Democratic Party. Governor Kim has no reason to join the comment work that hurts the Democratic Party. However, special prosecutors faced only 1% of “reverse work” cases, and some of them were simply mistakes made by members of Drooking. At the same time, he said that the sentence for the first trial was too low and asked the court to sentence him to six years in prison for manipulating comments and violations of electoral law. On the other hand, Governor Kim has affirmed his innocence during the course of the trial, saying that Drooking annulled all responsibility for him.
