Gyeongsangnam-do Governor Kim Gyeong-soo, who was brought to trial for participating in the “evoked remarks manipulation case,” was sentenced to two years in prison in the post-first trial appeal trial. The judge accused Governor Kim of knowing that he had tolerated the illegal manipulation of comments, but Governor Kim said he would appeal, saying it was an unacceptable decision. Reporter Na Hye-in reports. Gyeongsangnam-do Governor Kim Gyeong-soo, who was sentenced to an appeal trial after one year and nine months after the first trial sentence, said calmly before entering the court. However, even at the second trial, Governor Kim’s claim that he was innocent was not accepted. The Court of Appeals also concluded that Governor Kim will surely attend the demonstration of the ‘King Crab’ comment manipulation program, which was a key topic. Digital evidence, including program access logs and consistent witness statements, shows that Governor Kim observed the comment-handling process in Drucking’s office without any reasonable doubt. Furthermore, as long as he knew of King Crab, Governor Kim was deemed to have tolerated the illegal manipulation of comments. At the same time, he rebuked that, as a politician, comment manipulation activities that undermine the formation of a just public opinion should never be tolerated. However, regarding Governor Kim’s proposal for the Consul General post in Sendai in Japan at the time, it was difficult to say that it was related to the last local elections, and it was unclear which candidate Drooking campaigned for. In the end, the court convicted some of the comment manipulation charges and found him not guilty for violating the Public Officials Election Law and sentenced him to two years in prison. Given that Governor Kim is in public office and there is no fear of fleeing or destroying evidence, he has not been detained in court. Governor Kim could not hide his embarrassment when the earlier claim that he did not know about King Crab was not accepted at the appeal hearing. The lawyer also criticized the judge for rejecting a request to judge the facts through an expert and concluding that it was true only because he could not find contradictions in the reasoning. If the verdict of the second trial is confirmed as it is, the governor will lose his position and will not be able to go to the elections until five years after the execution of the sentence.
