Ex-President Yoon Insurrection Trial Status Update
According to Yonhap News, the court has officially postponed the hearing for the prosecution's sentencing request to January 13. Yoon was present at the Seoul Central District Court today for what was expected to be the conclusion of arguments in a case that has gripped the nation.
The trial centers on charges of insurrection related to a controversial martial law bid during his presidency. The delay in the sentencing request suggests that the judiciary is taking extra care to weigh the evidence, especially as the Defense Counterintelligence Command—which was implicated in the bid—is currently being dismantled. Yoon's legal team has reportedly maintained that his actions were a legitimate exercise of executive power.
