The Governor of Gyeonggi Gyeonggi Province, Lee Jae-myeong, who was sentenced to innocence in the Supreme Court, was sentenced to innocence in the revocation trial after being sentenced to invalidate the elections accused of publishing false facts in an appeal trial related to forced hospitalization.
The 2nd Criminal Division of Suwon High Court (which presides over the judge’s deliberation) held a judgment hearing for the Governor, who was prosecuted by public officials for false acts under the Public Office Election Act, at 11 am at Suwon Court Complex # 704 and made such a decision.
The judge said: “If you look at the content of the defendant’s statements at the time of the debate, it is only an answer to the question of the other candidate that raises suspicions, and it cannot be seen as an act of publicity that is actively and unilaterally advertised.
He added: “Since no new evidence has been presented after the Supreme Court ruling, the ruling is issued in accordance with the binding force (binding force that cannot arbitrarily withdraw or change the Supreme Court ruling). Lee added : “I will humbly await the sentencing before trial.” There is a lot of work waiting for the government audit on Corona 19, but it is truly unfortunate and regrettable that it has been consistently time consuming due to this trial. I hope to resign now. ”Then to the question On the reason why the election was invalidated in the last second trial, he replied: “I think it would be better to first report the results of the sentence” and then went to court.
Governor Lee was charged with instructing the director of a health center and a psychiatrist to enter a psychiatric hospital in June 2012 when he was serving as mayor of Seongnam (interruption of the exercise of the right to abuse rights) and in a televised debate held before the 2018 local elections. He was accused of making false comments to the effect that “I never tried to force my brother to be hospitalized” (Election Law for Public Officials).
In addition, he was charged with promulgating false facts under the Public Officials Election Law related to ‘impersonation of the prosecution’ and promulgating false facts under the Public Officials Elections Law related to ‘Djang-dong, Bundang -gu, Seongnam ‘.
The first trial judged them all as innocent, but the second trial found them guilty of the charge of publicity of false facts under the Public Officials Elections Act for “ forced admission of brother-in-law, ” and sentenced the governor to a fine of 3 million won, equivalent to invalidating the election.
However, in July, the Supreme Court declared not guilty of the second trial ruling, “revocation of the destruction.” The judge said: “Governor Lee’s statements about the forced hospitalization of his brother in the debate cannot be assessed as having actively disclosed the facts of the opposition. The judgment of the court of first instance misinterpreted article 250, paragraph 1 of the Law on Elections of Public Officials, and there was an error that affected the judgment ”.
