Reporter Kwon Jun-su summarized what the issue of the second round of the legal battle would be.

[Reporter]
Representative Lee Jae-myung announced his appeal immediately after the first trial was sentenced.

[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader (last 15th): You will be appealing. It's a conclusion that's hard to accept even from the recognition of basic facts.

The plan is to submit an appeal before Friday after analyzing the ruling, and the second round of legal battles against the election law is also expected to be fierce soon.

The first trial found CEO Lee guilty of "fabricating golf photos" among his remarks related to former Chief Kim Moon-ki.

If you look at the context of the time, the fact that the photo was fabricated can be interpreted as meaning that he did not play golf with the former director Kim, so he announced false information.

As the Democratic Party opposes this as an "extensive interpretation," it is expected to compete as a major issue in the appeal trial.

[Seo Jung-bin / Attorney (YTN NewsWide appearance): (In the first trial) no specific defense may have been made intensively in relation to the statement that the photograph was fabricated. This interpretation of the first trial's ruling is expected to be argued in a way that is 'excessive interpretation' and an expanded interpretation..]

{Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's threatening remarks, the first trial accepted all the prosecution's claims,
There is also the possibility of applying for witnesses or submitting additional evidence to support that
felt pressured by the representative.

At the same time, it is expected to continue to argue that the prosecution of the parliamentary inspection's remarks is illegal.

The first trial court saw that representative Lee made remarks unrelated to the purpose of the parliamentary audit, and that the National Assembly Testimony Appraisal Act could not be applied because the remarks amounted to the publication of false facts for the purpose of election.
The
Democrats argue that the hearing on this has been insufficient.

[Cho Seung-rae / Senior Spokesperson of the Democratic Party of Korea (last 15th): There is a process to explain questions. It is the process of asking questions of the parliamentary audit and answering questions as witnesses, but how is it irrelevant to the parliamentary audit.... The premise is incorrect by default.

In principle, violations of the election law should be sentenced within three months in the case of an appeal, but
Some observers say that if the representative of
submits additional evidence and applies for witnesses, there is a high possibility that the deadline will be exceeded.
