According to ChainCatcher, Yoon Suk Yeol's proxy lawyer Yoon Ga-geun stated that Yoon Suk Yeol's side "denies all prosecution facts" and requested that Yoon Suk Yeol speak personally to refute the charges.
Yoon Suk Yeol pointed out that the prosecution "almost wrote the entire few hours of events into the indictment" and "this is an indictment that lists the events that occurred from 10:30 PM on December 3rd to 2-3 AM in a chronological manner." He said, "I believe this does not conform to legal principles." After Yoon Suk Yeol's statement, the judge announced a temporary recess at local time 12:00 and will continue the trial at local time 2:15 PM, which is 1:15 PM Beijing time.
