아래로President Yoon's impeachment trial ends Tuesday.. 2 weeks to verdict?
President Yoon will deliver his closing statement at the final hearing of his impeachment trial today. The Constitutional Court will hold the 11th and last session to wrap up the top-level trial and we have our Oh Soo-young standing by.
------------------
Q1. Sooyoung. I believe the Court will be hearing the final arguments today including from President Yoon. Let's go through what the hearing will look like. Sure, Dami. President Yoon's 11th and final impeachment hearing begins at 2 PM some 73 days after the National Assembly passed a vote to remove him from power, after his December third martial law order. Justices will review the evidence they haven't examined yet, before giving both the National Assembly and President Yoon’s legal teams two hours to present their closing arguments.
------------------
Then Assembly's impeachment panel chair Jung Chung-rae and President Yoon will deliver their final statements with no time restrictions. The National Assembly has argued that Yoon’s declaration of martial law was illegal and his orders on December third unconstitutional. It has accused him of trying to blockade the National Assembly and remove lawmakers from the building in an attempt to stop them from voting to lift martial law.
-------------------
Meanwhile, Yoon has reportedly prepared a 40-minute-long handwritten speech. He's expected to reiterate arguments previously presented by his legal team,. that martial law is an executive right of the President, and was declared as a "warning" against the dominant opposition party’s tyranny in parliament that paralyzed government functions, and concerns over election fraud. In 2017, during Park Geun-hye’s impeachment trial, the National Assembly’s team spoke for 1 hour and 14 minutes, while Park’s defense stretched their argument to 5 hours and 10 minutes, with 15 different speakers.

Q2. Once the hearings conclude, the deliberation period begins. Walk us through the steps. Sure. Presiding Justice Jeong Hyung-sik will present his review before all eight justices vote for or against impeachment. The ruling will be drafted based on the majority opinion. If the presiding justice holds a minority view, another justice from the majority will be assigned to draft the decision. The Court will then decide the date to announce the verdict, which is expected within two weeks after the last hearing, likely around mid-March.

If six or more of the eight justices vote in favor of impeachment, President Yoon will be removed from office, triggering a snap presidential election within 60 days. However, if at least three justices oppose impeachment, the motion will be dismissed, and Yoon will immediately resume his duties.

Q3. Protests for and against impeachment continue in the meantime. Yes. With today marking the last hearing, large crowd gatherings are expected so the area around the Constitutional Court is being closed off for public order and safety, with barriers installed to block both crowds and traffic flowing in. Over the weekend 40-thousand people participated in protests in central Seoul’s Jongno district, university campuses, and in different parts of the country.

Seoul police aim to issue a ‘Level 1 Emergency' on the day the Court announces its ruling on Yoon's impeachment. A 'Level 1 Emergency' is the highest form of security alert that mobilizes all police officers and requires approval from the National Police Agency. Seoul police also plan to strengthen security measures for Constitutional Court justices who are currently receiving protection, and an increase in patrols in their neighborhoods. Back to you Dami. A day of tension lies ahead. Thanks for your report.
