Appeals Court Holds First Hearing in Former President Yoon's Insurrection Trial

Seoul High Court held the first preliminary hearing Monday for former President Yoon Suk Yeol's insurrection appeal after a lower court sentenced him to life imprisonment in February. Yoon's short-lived martial law declaration on Dec. 3, 2024, was voted down by the National Assembly, leading to his impeachment and removal from office. Special counsel Cho Eun-suk's team had demanded the death penalty at the lower court. The former president, currently in custody, was absent from the session. Co-defendant former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun's lawyers requested the court seek the Constitutional Court's judgment on the trial bench's constitutionality.
