A thief who stole expensive items worth tens of millions of won from comedian Park Na-rae's home appealed the sentence after being handed two years in prison in the first trial.
On the 15th, according to the legal community, the thief, a person surnamed Jeong (37), filed an appeal on the 9th with the first-instance court, Seoul Western District Court Criminal Division 1 presided over by Chief Judge Park Ji-won, Director General.
Jeong was referred to trial on charges of breaking into Park Na-rae's home in Yongsan District in April and stealing items worth tens of millions of won. Jeong also offered the stolen items as stolen goods.
Later, on the 3rd, Chief Judge Park Ji-won of Seoul Western District Court Criminal Division 1 sentenced a person surnamed Jeong, who was tried on charges of theft and nighttime residential burglary, to two years in prison.
Chief Judge Park said the sentencing reasons were that the defendant admitted the facts of the indictment and returned the items to the victim, but that the defendant had prior convictions for similar offenses, the stolen items were considerably expensive, and the victim had petitioned for severe punishment.
For Woo and Jang, who were jointly indicted on charges of acquiring stolen goods through negligence after receiving the items, fines of 2 million won and 3 million won were imposed, respectively.
