The trial surrounding Yoon Seok-youl, noted as the leader of an insurrection, concluded with a surprisingly lenient verdict delivered by Judge Ji Gui-yeon, which many observers regard as indicative of a bias towards the defendants. The special prosecutor had sought the death penalty for Yoon, while Judge Ji opted for life imprisonment, a stark contrast that raises questions about the integrity of the judicial process. Notably, key points raised by Judge Ji during the proceedings, such as the interpretation of the 'Noh Sang-won notebook', suggest a fluctuating stance that could imply an initial intent to rule in favor of the defendants but later shifted due to external pressures.
