◇ Anchor> Alleged violation of the Public Official Election Act, we are going to the appeals process now, and it is said that a public defender has been appointed, how should we understand this process?

◆ Lee Go-eun> In fact, many people are criticizing Yoon Suk Yeol Yoon Seok-yeol because he is not being served well with documents, but in the case of representative Lee Jae-myung, he was sentenced to probation in the first trial. As for the case of violation of the Public Official Election Act. However, if you submit an appeal about a month ago for this case, and the lawsuit record arrives at the second trial court, the notice of receipt of the lawsuit documents will be served on the party.

Then, you must submit a reason for appeal within 20 days from the date of delivery. Therefore, there were criticisms that if the party did not receive the notice of receipt of the litigation record properly, the deadline for submitting the reason for appeal would continue to be postponed, so it was not intended to receive documents well in that part. Eventually, it was served. I delivered it by person, and I was served.

In such a situation, the appeals court also designated Lee Jae-myung's representative politician but a public defender for now, fearing that the process would be delayed due to the selection of a lawyer. This means that the deadline for submitting the reason for appeal is set as a constant deadline. In it, the court nailed that even a public defender must submit a reason for appeal or appoint a private lawyer and submit a reason for appeal by that deadline, as we can see again.

◇Anchor> As you said, a public defender has been appointed unusually to a politician, and if representative Lee Jae-myung appoints a private lawyer again, won't the process be delayed further?

◆> Not really. Since a public defender has been selected, even if a private defender is appointed later, the constant deadline has already been set because he has been served with the litigation documents. You must submit a reason for appeal within the set deadline through a private lawyer.

◇ Anchor> It's unlikely that you'll continue as a public defender, right?

◆I think I'll be very low. I don't know. It remains to be seen whether to re-appoint a lawyer who continued to do so in the first trial or set up a new defense team.

◇Anchor> Anyway, it's a pretty unusual situation, and we'll wait for this part to see how CEO Lee Jae-myung will take this trial strategy.
