Prosecutors appeal against the life sentence given to Jung Yoo-jeong for murdering a woman of the same age... ``The crime was cruel and a death sentence is necessary'' = South Korea

South Korean prosecutors have filed an appeal against the first instance judgment of Jung Yoo-jung, who was charged with murder, mutilation, and abandonment of a woman in her 20s.
The Busan District Public Prosecutors Office announced on the 28th that it has filed an appeal against Jeong, who was sentenced to life in prison in the first trial after being charged with murder and damaging and abandoning a body.
Jeong was put on trial on charges of killing Mr. A with a deadly weapon at around 5:40 pm on May 26th at Mr. A's house in Geumjeong-gu, Busan, and then abandoning her body.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment on the 24th. Prosecutors had sought the death penalty at the trial. A prosecutor said, ``The defendant killed the victim in a premeditated and cruel manner and has shown no sincere remorse.
Considering the reasons for sentencing, including the high risk of recidivism and the fact that his family has petitioned for harsher punishment, it is necessary to sentence him to the death penalty.''
The period for appealing defendant Jeong's first instance sentence ends on December 1st, but defendant Jeong has not yet filed an appeal.
I haven't filed a lawsuit.
