Jeong, a man in his 30s who was put on trial for breaking into comedian Park Na-rae's home and stealing tens of millions of won worth of money, was also sentenced to prison in the appeal trial. Although he appealed for leniency, saying the first trial ruling was heavy, the court rejected the appeal, pointing out the repeated crimes.
On the 5th, the 2-1 Criminal Department (appeal) (b) of the Seoul Western District Court held an appeal hearing for Jeong, who was indicted on charges of theft and overnight residential invasion. Originally, the sentencing date was scheduled to be held on the 12th, but it was moved forward a week.
On this day, the court sentenced him to two years in prison, the same as the first trial. Regarding the reason for the sentencing, the court said, "The defendant was sentenced to two years in prison in the first trial and appealed that the sentence was heavy. The accused's criminal record of theft is not many in recent years, but he committed the crime during probation," he said.
He added, "Based on the first trial's ruling, there is no change in circumstances, and it is difficult to say that the first trial's ruling is outside the reasonable range."
Earlier in April last year, Jeong was accused of breaking into Park Na-rae's home in Yongsan-gu, Seoul alone, stealing tens of millions of won worth of money and goods and running away. Jeong reportedly claimed that he had sold stolen goods as stolen goods and broke in without knowing that it was Park Na-rae's house at the time of the crime. In addition, Jeong was arrested for stealing from another house in Yongsan-gu at the end of March last year.
In response, the first trial court sentenced Jeong to two years in prison, but Jeong appealed against it. At the appeal hearing held last month, Jeong's side said, "The defendant is repenting for his mistake. He regrets committing a crime to pay for his living expenses and blames himself. "I beg you to give leniency to other victims other than Park (Park Na-rae) considering that most of the actual damage has been recovered," he asked.
In his closing argument, Jung said, "I admit all the crimes I committed. I also apologize for how heavy my crimes were and how much pain I caused the victims. Park has expressed his intention to reject the intention to deposit and settle through a lawyer. We will do our best to help (Park Na-rae) return the damaged goods, he said. "I sincerely ask you to give me a chance to return to my family and girlfriend's arms earlier and live a new life."
Meanwhile, Park Na-rae and former managers have been fighting over various suspicions such as power abuse and embezzlement since the end of last year. During their tenure, former managers A and B filed a lawsuit against Park Na-rae for damages worth 100 million won, claiming damages such as workplace harassment, special injuries, proxy prescriptions, and non-payment of progress fees.
In response, Park Na-rae responded to the charges of attempted blackmail and embezzlement on the basis of false claims, saying the former managers demanded a large amount of money. It is also at the center of controversy over allegations of illegal medical practices through 'auntie injections'.
