“UNANIMOUS RULING” EXPECTED
That process could take over a year to a workweek- previously impeached Presidents Park Geun-hye and Roh Moo-hyun had to rush 11 and 14 days, both, to understand their fates.
According to Kim Hyun-jung, a scientist at the Korea University Institute of Law, “many constitutional scientists and researchers agree that the judges of the Constitutional Court will make a unanimous decision in favor of senate.”
Experts caution that social conflict could delay the test; important conservative supporters of Yoon have demanded that more hearings be held.
The nine-member bench of the Constitutional Court, which now has just one judge, may receive more approval.
If the judge supports the prosecution, an election had been held within 60 days to choose a new president.
Yoon’s prosecution trial’s main argument was whether or not he had violated the constitution by declaring martial law, which is only applicable to times of war or national crises.
Yoon argued last week that perhaps if he had ordered the arrest of MPs to stop them from rejecting his order, it would not officially problem because it had not been carried out.
He also faces a legal trial on charges of rebellion, for which he could receive a death sentence or a prison sentence.
