Son Junseong's second trial sentence was postponed again...Dec. 6 Sentencing

The second trial sentence of Chief Prosecutor Son Joon-sung, who was sentenced to prison in the first trial for so-called accusation owner suspicion, was postponed again a day before the deadline.

The Seoul High Court has postponed the second trial's sentence for prosecutor Sohn's alleged leakage of official secrets and violation of the election law, which was scheduled for tomorrow (1st), to December 6, citing the need for additional legal review.

Earlier, on the 5th of last month, the court resumed its argument a day before the sentencing date for Chief Prosecutor Sohn.

It is unusual that the sentence of the case was postponed twice just before the pleading was concluded, and it seems to be to examine the legal principles and facts more thoroughly as Prosecutor Sohn and the High-ranking Officials Crime Investigation Agency are sharply confronting each other over how the data was delivered.Prosecutor Sohn

was accused of exchanging images of accusations and real-name judgments with former lawmaker Kim Woong on Telegram while serving as an investigative information policy officer for the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in 2020, just before the 21st general election.

Earlier, the first trial sentenced Sohn to one year in prison in recognition of the results of the investigation by the Senior Prosecutor's Office that the complaint and the ruling were delivered to Cho Sung-eun through former lawmaker Kim.
