The Supreme Court's 3rd Division (Presiding Justice No Jeong-hee) on the same day upheld the lower court's ruling sentencing the defendant to 5 years in prison, recognizing guilt for violations of the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes (child protection zone manslaughter, reckless driving manslaughter) and the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving), but acquitting the defendant of hit-and-run manslaughter under the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes.
