Supreme Court Upholds Prison Sentence for Former President Park Geun-hye

Its official President Park will not get out of prison until 2039, though I doubt she will stay imprisoned that long. I bet she will receive a pardon well before then:

The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a 20-year sentence for former President Park Geun-hye in a high-profile corruption case, closing the yearslong saga that gripped the country and ultimately removed her from office in 2017.

In the sentencing hearing over an appeal filed by prosecutors against a ruling in July that reduced Park’s prison term, the country’s highest court maintained the ruling, including a fine of 18 billion won (US$15 million) and the decision to clear Park of extortion and part of abuse of power charges.

Park will have to serve 22 years in prison, which includes a two-year prison term for her 2018 conviction for illegal meddling in a nomination process of the then-ruling Saenuri Party. Given the time that she already served, she will get released in 2039.

They really hate her… Seems like the left can’t do the celebration of diversity they demanded of everyone else…

Really pathetic.

In other news, the TV News rating war has crept down to tepid; and here’s a headline that describes the biggest change:

“Fox News’ Latest Ratings Are Like If Garbage and Human Filth Had a Baby and That Baby Was Abandoned In the Woods and Then Was Raised by AIDS””

Communist party wants her to die in jail. The pardon is just a red herring to get votes in the next presidential election.
