On the 7th, the lawyers for President Yoon announced that "the withdrawal of the charge of treason is a major change in the grounds for prosecution, so
The lawyers emphasized that "a significant portion of the indictment resolution is omitted for the crime of treason."
He continued, "The withdrawal of the insurrection charge simply means that one of the two charges is withdrawn.
This does not mean that the charges will be withdrawn, but rather that 80 percent of the charges will be withdrawn," he said. "The charges that were filed up until now have been changed to charges that no longer recognize the identity of the accused."
He also pointed out that "if the charge of treason had been excluded, the impeachment bill would not have passed."
The attorneys said, "The lawmakers voted after considering the grounds for prosecution and suspended the non-prosecutor (President Yoon) from exercising his powers."
"The fact that some of the reasons can be withdrawn at the discretion of the prosecution committee violates the voting rights of the participating lawmakers," he said.
He continued, "Impeachment proceedings will be filed against the president for insurrection and for non-violence.
"This is an entirely different assessment from impeaching because the act of declaring martial law was inappropriate."
