On the 18th, the Seoul High Court sentenced a toddler accused of violating the Narcotics Control Act to one year in prison, two years of probation, and a fine of 2 million won. In addition, he ordered 80 hours of community service and medication completion lectures.
The second trial court found Yoo Ah-in guilty of taking habitual medical drugs and buying habitual sleeping pills in other people's names, and concluded the same as the first trial. However, the charges of smoking hemp and destroying evidence were considered innocent, saying there was a lack of evidence.
The court said `Sleep disorders and depression have been experiencing for a long time, and fentamine seems to have been used for sleep treatment purposes. In addition, the sentence sentenced in the first trial is certified unfair, considering that the defendant does not show dependence on the drug and does not repeat, has more than five months of detention and reflection, and that he was not punished for the same crime"The reason for the sentencing was revealed.
Earlier, Yoo Ah-in was put on trial in October last year on charges of illegally buying 1,100 Stilnox tablets and Xanax tablets prescribed in the name of another person, or buying drugs 44 times under the name of his father and sister.
The infant's side argued that "the infant did not violate maliciously using loopholes in laws or regulations, but that he became dependent on sleeping anesthetics in situations where he was already physically and mentally struggling.""
Also "The infant visited the psychiatry department even before the investigation of the case began, and was trying to solve the sleep disorder in a healthy way."It was also a situation in which we were free from dependence on sleep anesthetics and enjoyed a significant therapeutic effect" he added.
Meanwhile, 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.
