Constitutional Court to appoint presiding judge for President Yoon Seok-yeol trial on 16th... ”Swift and fair trial”

The impeachment motion against President Yoon Seok-yeol for the “December 3 state of emergency” was passed by the National Assembly on the 14th, and the Constitutional Court will begin an impeachment hearing swiftly.
The National Assembly held a plenary session on the afternoon of the 14th and put the impeachment motion against President Yoon Seok-yeol to a vote, with 204 of the 300 lawmakers in attendance voting in favor, 85 against, and 3 abstentions.
The bill passed with eight votes in favor and eight invalidated. To pass an impeachment bill, more than 200 people, or two-thirds of the senators, must vote in favor.
The procedure for impeachment is as follows: the National Assembly submits the original of the indictment resolution to the Constitutional Court.
The National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jeong Jeong-rae accepted the "presidential impeachment" case at 6:15 pm on the same day.
Moon Hyun-bae (58, 18th term of the Judicial Research and Training Institute) acting president of the Constitutional Court said on the same day, "We will hold a judges' meeting at 10 a.m. next Monday.
The Constitutional Court is expected to unveil the chief judge on the 16th and begin full-scale hearings.
The selection of the presiding judge will be made by random lottery using a computerized electronic allocation system. In principle, the selection of the presiding judge is kept secret, but it is expected that it will be made public depending on the importance of the case.
Prior to this, the presiding judge for the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye in 2016 was also made public after the case was accepted.
The presiding judge in the impeachment trial will be Acting Justice Moon Hyun-bae. The presiding judge will decide whether or not to make the arguments public and the terms of the arguments.
The court has the power to decide the location and appoint the judges who will be in charge of investigating evidence. Also, unlike ordinary constitutional petitions, impeachment cases are immediately sent to the full court without prior review.
