A 70-year-old man accused of insulting a subway sheriff for wearing a mask was acquitted at trial.

According to the legal community on the 29th, Judge Lee Hwan-ki of the 4th Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court acquitted actor A in his 70s who was accused of insult.

The judge judged that it was true that Mr. A had spoken abusively at the time, but that the subject he referred to as the ‘pup’ could not be identified as the sheriff only with evidence such as witness statements or filmed videos.

Mr. A was summarily indicted for swearing at a security officer who asked him to wear a mask while talking on the phone while taking off his mask while on the way to Yongsan Station on the Seoul Subway Line 1 at around 1:00 pm on June 18 of last year. At the time, wearing a mask was compulsory on public transport.

Prosecutors said until A was forced to get off at Seoul Station and was kicked out of the ticket gate, “It looks like ○,” “Si ○! ○ The same baby, “child, poet ○” I sweared several times and judged that he had insulted the sheriff in front of several people.

Mr. A requested a formal trial, saying that the prosecution’s summary prosecution could not be accepted.

He claimed that the person on the phone who was trying to book a train ticket for him took off his mask in the subway because he could not read his credit card number properly.

Coincidentally, at this time, a fight broke out over the issue of wearing a mask, and Mr. A was forced to get off at Seoul Station, so he could not go to the scheduled commercial shoot.

The judge said, “It seems that the defendant was angry that the commercial shooting was canceled, and used abusive language to express it.” ” he judged.

The prosecution appealed against the acquittal verdict.
