The appeals court for the election law violations of the Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung has asked the prosecution to ”identify false statements made by Lee” (South Korea)

The appeals court in the case against Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung on the Public Offices Election Act has asked the prosecution to "identify statements made by Lee that are related to false facts."
On the 12th, the 6th-2nd Criminal Division of the Seoul High Court held the third trial hearing for Lee's suspected violation of the Public Offices Election Act.
The court recently ruled that the late Kim Moon-gi, former head of planning at the Seongnam Urban Development Corporation,
The court also asked for clarification to clarify whether the charges included only the specific statements made in the case.
The prosecution said that Lee's statements on four TV stations that he did not know about Kim were false.
The indictment did not identify any false statements, but instead presented fragments of the entire conversation that were false.
The court said, "We can put everything into writing to see the context of the entire statement, but among those, there are false statements that we are prosecuting.
"Is it correct to limit the charges to specific statements, and is it okay if the charges are not changed?" he asked the prosecutors. When the prosecutors responded that there was no need to change the charges, the court said,
In order to clarify which parts need to be judged, please indicate which statements are false, even if the overall context is included."
On that day, the court accepted Jeong Jun-hee, a professor at Hanyang University's Department of Information and Social Media, as a sentencing witness, as requested by Lee's side.
A witness is someone the court will use as a reference when deciding on the sentence. The court will question witnesses again on the 19th, question sentencing witnesses in the morning of the 26th, and hold a closing hearing in the afternoon.
The concluding hearing, which concludes the proceedings, is the final stage of the trial, with the defense's closing arguments, the defendant's closing statements, and the prosecution's sentencing proposal.
The second trial verdict against Lee is expected to be handed down as early as the end of March.
