Südkoreanischer Richter, der die Gefängnisstrafe für die ehemalige First Lady erhöht hatte, wurde nur acht Tage nach der Verurteilung tot aufgefunden

> Shin Jong-o was „found unconscious around 1:00 a.m. … at the Seoul High Court building,“ an investigator at Seocho district police station said.

> Shin was taken to hospital and pronounced dead, he said, adding: „There is no sign of foul play in the death.“ 

Obviously in different ways, but both South Korea and Russia feel like examples of how American society will evolve if we don’t course correct. 

must have been depression. /s

Why does south korea even have other branches of government at this point.

How old was the judge? The age of the defendant is listed, but not that of the judge.

Hard to see it being worth killing a judge for increasing a sentence by 28 months.

>Shin Jong-oh, who was found with severe injuries on the ground near the Seoul High Court, had a suicide note in his pocket, police say

>Shin Jong-oh, who had overturned a lower court’s not guilty verdict and imposed a harsher sentence on Kim, was discovered with severe injuries in a flower bed near the Seoul High Court building in Seocho district, southern Seoul.

>“It is true that an apparent suicide note was found in his pocket,” an officer at Seocho Police Station told This Week in Asia. The note reportedly included phrases such as “I am sorry” and “I am leaving of my own accord”.

Some more details…

Increase her sentence

Does the increased sentence still stand?

It’s like that new season of beef

Wow some crazy shit going on in Korea.

Korean House of Cards

She looks like Erika Kirk.

Shin Jong-oh beat himself to death, dumped his body into a flower bed outside the courthouse, and then wrote a suicide note saying he was leaving this world voluntarily… seems legit

So, could they throw out the ruling, saying the guy was super depressed and not in the right state of mind? I feel like that’s the next step.

Amateurs. The Russians would have done it in 7 days if a judge crossed Putin.

Before she was pushed out the window by persons unknown, she took a moment to leave a note…….

Uh-huh. Right.

Corruption of the highest order.

Gee, that’s not suspicious at all huh? Sounds like the ex first lady’s sentence was more than justified.

Nothing to look at here folks. Just keep moving along. Just like that. Good job.

I don’t know that much I’ll admit but why is all the news I see from South Korea about some corruption scandal 😭
