Regarding the Constitutional Court's decision to hold hearings for President Moon ∀'s impeachment trial at once from the 14th to the 5th day of the 4th of next month,
President Yoon's side criticized it as limiting the right to defend and undermining careful psychology.Representatives for President Yoon
claimed yesterday (3rd) that the Constitutional Court unilaterally notified the court by designating four more hearings following the first after the deadline for preparation of arguments ended.
The criminal procedure rules then require the hearing of prosecutors, defendants, or lawyers if the deadline is designated collectively, but they protested that the procedure was ignored.
In the case of the presidential impeachment case, the Constitutional Court emphasizes a quick hearing on the grounds that it prevents national confusion, but
The important thing is to find substantive truths and ensure equal defense rights, he said, stressing that excessive emphasis on expedited proceedings risks a rough-and-ready trial.
