Prosecutors also appealed ‘inappropriate sentencing’… “Considering the attitude of the accused on the day of sentencing”
Jeon Joo-hwan (31, arrested), a ‘stalking murderer at Shindang Station’, appealed once morest the conviction that he was sentenced to 9 years in prison in the first trial for stalking and illegally filming the victim.
According to the legal circles on the 4th, on the 30th of last month, the day following the sentencing, Jeon filed an appeal with the 12th Criminal Division of the Seoul Western District Court (Chief Judge An Dong-beom).
Jeon was charged with violating the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, the Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes, and the Information and Communications Network Act and was sentenced to nine years in prison.
In early October of last year, he was indicted without detention on charges of creating anxiety 351 times, including sending illegal filmed footage to the victim, who was a motive for joining the Seoul Transportation Corporation, and sending threats and messages.
He is also accused of stalking by sending text messages 21 times, requesting an agreement from November last year to February this year when the victim reported it to the police.
The two cases were merged during the trial.
When he was sentenced to nine years in prison on August 18 for these two incidents, Jeon had a grudge once morest the victim and killed the victim at Sindang Station on the 14th of last month, the day before the original sentencing date.
The prosecution also filed an appeal to the court on the same day, saying that the sentence was “unjustified.”
The court sentenced the sentence according to the sentenced sentence, but the prosecution said, “The appeal was made in consideration of the defendant’s attitude in court on the day of the sentencing.”
At the time of the sentencing hearing, Jeon asked the court to “delay the sentencing date as much as possible,” and he said, “I want the public’s attention and the media’s attention to ease over time.”
