Prosecutors Demand Two and a Half Years in Prison for Ladies’ Code Manager

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Prosecutors have demanded a sentence of two years and six months in prison in the recent court trial held for Ladies’ Code manager Park (27), who was driving at the time of the tragic incident that took the lives of Ladies’ Code members EunB and RiSe. The accident had six casualties in total.

At the trial that was held earlier today, Park acknowledged the charges against him through the questioning, but claimed that he had “done everything [he] could after the accident, calling the ambulance, and giving his all with rescue efforts.”

He also claimed that the “vehicle of the accident was unfamiliar, as it was given to [him] the day before the accident,” and that “[he] tried to take the members home as quickly as possible since the members seemed tired after their remote schedule, which ultimately had terrible consequences.”

He pleaded for mercy as he said, “I am gravely regretting that one horribly wrong decision and I am reflecting on it. I sincerely apologize to the families of the members, the fans, and everyone else for causing such sadness. Please give me a chance to live life diligently.”

The final trial will take place next year, on January 15.

I read somewhere else that there are investigations issued in regards to the vehicle, which is a good thing.

And he deserves all that and more considering how fast (the manager must have had serious death wish!) he was speeding in the rain.

He was definitely at fault but this feels like scapegoating.There's a lot more factors that need to be addressed here

I hope they haven't droped everything about the vehicule.
It seems that human mistakes were involved, clearly (if the last article talking about speed under rain was right...), and he should obviously reflect, but it's always one part of the problem, and there were concerns about the car... Do we have any update on that part ?

The manager claimed that he crashed 'cause tire got loose, but investigation came to conclusion that he lied to escape culpability and it got loose only after the car crashed.

No matter how long the sentence is, he has to live with the fact 2 girls died, 3 others are physically and mentally traumatized and that alone will forever haunt him.

EunB and Rise were just on my mind the other day. I hope the other girls are recovering well.

That length of time feels right for vehicular manslaughter, but I can't help but feel there's an element of scapegoating happening too. What about Hyundai?
