Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea, who was acquitted in the first trial on charges of perjury, submitted a lawyer to the second trial.
Representative Lee's lawyers Lee Seung-yeop and Jung Joo-hee submitted a lawyer today (30th) to the Seoul High Court Criminal Department 3, the appellate court of the perjury teacher case.
It has been two weeks since the appeals case was filed in the Seoul High Court on the 16th, and lawyer Lee and lawyer Chung also defended Lee in the first trial.
However, representative Lee has not yet submitted a lawyer's appointment for the violation of the Public Official Election Act, which was sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation in the first trial, which is equivalent to the loss of parliamentary seats.
While the Seoul High Court selected and notified Lee's public defender in the election law case on the 23rd, the selection of a public defender will be canceled if Lee appoints a private lawyer later.
