Lee Young-ha (26) of the Doosan Bears is in court once again.
On May 30, Lee attended the first hearing of his school violence appeal at the Seoul Western District Court in Mapo-gu, Seoul.
Lee was acquitted in the first trial on May 31 of charges of school violence in high school, including special assault, coercion, and blackmail.
In 2021, there were posts on the internet community that Lee Young-ha and Kim Dae-hyun (LG) were bullied in high school. Lee Young-ha and Kim Dae-hyun were classmates at Seolin Internet High School. Later, a current affairs program highlighted the story, and the allegations of bullying spread like wildfire. It seemed to sink below the surface over time, but in 2022, the alleged victim, Cho Mo, filed a report with the Sports Ethics Center, which led to a police investigation and prosecution in May.
A fierce legal battle ensued. 카지노사이트넷 Since the first hearing on Sept. 21 last year, a total of six hearings have been held.
Cho alleged that Lee was abused by Lee Young-ha with an electric fly swatter in 2015
Also accused him of extorting ramen noodles during a training camp in Taiwan, as well as humiliating songs and dances. She also claimed that she was coerced and blackmailed by calling her juniors to her room to do household chores.
On the other hand, Lee Young-ha presented evidence that on August 19, 2019, the day of the alleged special assault, she had been selected for the youth national team and was training with the national team players. She argued that the events in the dormitory occurred after she left the dormitory and submitted her bank statements as evidence.
Witnesses were questioned, including Cho, and the prosecution asked for two years in prison. However, Judge Jeong Jeong-young of the Seoul West District Court Criminal Division 4 acquitted him, saying, “It is difficult to say that the prosecution has proven the facts beyond a reasonable doubt.” The prosecution immediately appealed.
The prosecution immediately launched an appeal. At the first appellate hearing on the 30th, the prosecution cited “mistake of fact and misunderstanding of law” as the reason for the appeal.
The prosecution requested additional witnesses and documents.
Witnesses, including the alleged victim, Cho Mo, were called, and additional documents included an order to submit Kim Dae-hyun’s credit card details. Kim Dae-hyun was also tried for school violence, but was acquitted.
Lee Young-ha’s lawyer, Kim Sun-woong, said, “I don’t know if it’s necessary to cross-examine the victim, Ms. Cho. We talked about objective facts in the first trial, and I wonder what the relationship is between the card usage of Kim Dae-hyun, who was said to be an accomplice.”
After the first hearing, Attorney Kim said, “There is nothing new. They said that the reason they submitted the card usage for Kim Dae-hyun was because Kim Dae-hyun came and showed his face for a while at the Busan convention. At that time, Kim Dae-hyun had his parents’ card, so if you track the usage history, you can see if he was in Busan, so I think he applied for it (as evidence). 온라인카지노사이트 Kim Dae-hyun could have come alone. Also, there was no Kim Dae-hyun on the hotel guest list at the time, and there was no Cho Mo-san. In light of that, it can be said that there was a distortion or manipulation of memory. Also, a junior who was not me posted on the community, and the junior was a freshman at the time, and he only went to training camp and left the baseball team in May. It is difficult to give credibility to the statement,” he emphasized.
A decision on the admissibility of the evidence will be made on May 19.
