Digest more
South Korea's beleaguered ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol has been found guilty of abuse of power, falsifying documents and obstructing justice when he tried and failed to impose martial law in the country in 2024. He has also been sentenced to five years in jail.
KUHN: A verdict in Yoon's insurrection trial is expected next month. South Korea hasn't executed anyone for nearly three decades, so even if Yoon gets the death penalty, it'll probably be commuted to life in prison.
