A woman who assaulted Line 9 shouted "I have a police force", why postponed the first trial?

The sentencing of the first trial against a woman in her 20s who hit a man in his 60s with the edge of a cell phone several times on a train on Seoul Subway Line 9 has been postponed.

According to the court today (8th), the Seoul Southern District Court's 8th Criminal Court (Judge Jeon Beom-shik) postponed the date of the special injury and insult of A woman in her 20s, which was scheduled for 2 pm on the same day, and the third trial on the 22nd. It was decided to open the date and resume the pleadings.

Resumption of pleading refers to the procedure that takes place when there is a need to plead again on a new argument or evidence after the pleading is closed.

It may decide ex officio at the request of the prosecution or the defendant or when the court deems it necessary.

At the decision trial held on the 25th of last month, the prosecution requested the court to sentence A to two years in prison.

In the final argument, Mr. A's lawyer said, "The defendant acknowledged all the charges and is reflecting on the facts of the charges," he said, "Please consider in sentencing the fact that an agreement was not reached, but that Mr. A was in a state in need of treatment such as depression. " he requested.

In response to Mr. A's argument, experts judged that it was not a factor that would greatly affect the sentencing.
