” RILING PUBLIC OPINION”
Yoon made his initial court appearance on Saturday at a reading on whether to extend his confinement. When it was extended, lots of pro-Yoon demonstrators attacked the jury tower and scuffled with police officers.
The charged government’s decision to start showing up at the Constitutional Court reading is more about inflaming his die-hard followers than helping the judicial procedure along, authorities said.
” Whether it’s the constitutional representative talking or Yoon himself speaking it’s virtually the same, it’s more about riling open opinon,” attorney Kim Nam-ju told AFP.
But any Yoon’s intentions, “from the view of the Constitutional Court courts, hearing directly from the accused is far more important”, he said.
” The court does instantly question and get answers from them, allowing the judges to verify the facts first. “
But even if Yoon starts showing up at the Constitutional Court, the fact that he is refusing to engage with the judicial investigation into his military law does not work in his behalf for his impeachment trial, said Kim.
” Refusing to comply with the subpoena murder and declining to speak will eventually be considered as elements unpleasant to his situation in the senate trial,” said Kim.
” It shows they are not adhering to the legal model. “
Yoon has claimed the criminal probe is unlawful and resisted arrest for week, vowing to “fight to the end”.
Although Yoon won the presidential election in 2022, the criticism Democratic Party has a majority in parliament after winning parliamentary elections last month.
The Democratic Party has celebrated the government’s imprisonment, with a major national calling it” the first step” to restoring democratic and constitutional order.
