Special counsel again seeks death penalty for Yoon in appeal
On Oct. 29, the special counsel team again demanded the death penalty for former President Yoon Suk Yeol at his appeals trial on insurrection charges tied to his 2024 martial law declaration, according to Yonhap, KBS World, and the Korea Times. The request follows Yoon's conviction for leading an insurrection, which he is appealing. Separately, former Justice Minister Park Sung-jae and special counsel Cho Eun-suk have both appealed to the Supreme Court over a ruling that cut Park's sentence from 25 years to nine years in a related martial law case, the Korea Times and Yonhap report. Korean news outlets are covering the development as a major political and legal story, though the documents do not include direct blog or café reactions.
