"It is law and fact that the death penalty is higher than that of life imprisonment," he said. "In Korea, executions are no longer carried out. It is a de facto abolitionist country."
He added, "Even if the death penalty is sentenced and sentenced in the first trial, former President Yoon is likely to be sentenced to life in prison in the end if he goes through an appeals court. There is also a precedent that former President Chun Doo-hwan ended up serving life in prison."
"The death penalty has the effect of confirming that he is a human being who is not worth living in this world, but it also has side effects," he said. "As the death penalty has paid the price for the crime, it reduces the effect of criticism and has a great impression effect, so it has the effect of covering up bad things in life."
Professor Han said, "There is no reason for former President Yoon to be afraid or afraid when the death penalty is sentenced or sentenced. It is obvious that he will not be executed anyway," adding, "On the contrary, the death penalty can be widely promoted as a medal and used to rally supporters."
He added, "I think I'll collect a lot more detention funds or Super Chat."
"What should be imposed on the head of the rebellion is an enforceable extreme sentence," he said. "The extreme sentence is not the death penalty under our legal system, but life imprisonment. "I don't think the death penalty, which will not be executed in practice, needs to be put on him by a martyr's aura."
At the same time, he added, "Life imprisonment is not so. Sentencing to life imprisonment also has the effect of confirming that he is the worst criminal and belongs to a miscellaneous criminal group, not a political character."
Professor Han finally wrote, emphasizing, "Our people should use the appearance of his court behavior as a counter-teacher, and drive a wedge into the possibility of these people being elected as national leaders again."
Earlier on the 9th, the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Agreement Department 25 (Chief Judge Ji Gwi-yeon) held a final hearing on former President Yoon, who was indicted on charges of leading a rebellion. Initially, the court tried to end the final hearing, including the prosecution's request.
However, former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who was indicted on charges of engaging in important missions of civil war, conducted a written report for more than eight hours, failing to seek the special prosecution team's request as well as the former President Yoon's written investigation.
At the time, the court said, "Even if we finish it later today, we promise that only the defense of the defendant of Yoon Suk Yeol will be made on the next day and that we will end it unconditionally on the next day."
The court plans to hold a final hearing on former President Yoon's alleged rebellion leader from around 9:30 a.m. on the 13th, and to make a final statement on former President Yoon and request the special prosecutor's team.
