Prosecutors appeal Lee Jae-myung's innocence in the first trial of perjury..."Misunderstanding the legal principles".

The prosecution appealed against the first trial's judgment that Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, was found not guilty of perjury.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said today that it filed an appeal to correct the first trial's ruling because it clearly misunderstood the facts or misunderstood the established laws of perjury due to violations of the rules of evidence, common sense, rules of experience, and misjudgment.

Earlier on the 25th, the Seoul Central District Court acquitted Lee of perjury teacher charges, saying, "It is true that Kim perjured at the request of Lee, but Lee did not know that Kim would perjure."

Also, Kim was fined 5 million won, saying some perjury charges were admitted.
