On the 24th, the Seoul High Court's Criminal Department 5 (Chief Judge Kwon Soon-hyung Ahn Seung-hoon and Shim Seung-woo) will hold a final trial on the appeal of Yoo Ah-in and his acquaintance Choi, who were indicted on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.
At the final trial on the day, the prosecution will decide on a sentence and make a final statement of the accused to the court.
Yoo Ah-in, who is serving a prison sentence in the first trial, appeared in court wearing glasses with plain hair and a mint-colored embroidery at the second trial of the appeal trial. At that time, Yoo Ah-in's lawyer said "Yoo Ah-in failed to take care of himself properly to bring joy and emotion to the public. "Please consider that as an actor, his life has been severely damaged, and that the cost of the wrong choice due to the sleep disorder accompanied by depression is greater than the price that the general public has to pay." The defendant suffered the death of his father during the case. You have to live with the guilt that your father's condition worsened because of yourself. There is no greater punishment than this."
In addition, "Following the last trial, the lower court's sentence is too heavy and unfair", he/she admits and deeply reflects on his/her fault for taking drugs. However, he claimed that hemp smoking was out of curiosity during overseas trips, not using financial resources.
Meanwhile, Yoo Ah-in was put on trial in October last year on charges of taking drugs such as propofol 9635.7mL, midazolam 567mg, ketamine 11.5mL and remimazolam 200mg, illegally buying 1,100 Stilnox tablets and Xanax tablets prescribed in the name of another person, or buying drugs 44 times in the name of six people, including his father and sister. As a result, Yoo Ah-in was sentenced to a one-year fine of 2 million won at the first trial held in September and immediately arrested in court.
