| Is he really dead? The Gofundme link is dead. Wow. Guess this was more serious than your average bar scuffle. |

Grow up. There's a dead person and a second person whose life is now ruined. Only the most immature of persons would think it appropriate to type in what you wrote.
Again, grow up. |

“The charge of homicide resulting from bodily injury carries a sentence ranging from three to five years, but if the crime is committed against a family member the maximum increases to seven years and if committed against a family member a second time then the maximum increases by half and can reach 10 years and six months. Factor weighing in favor of a heavy punishment are if the crime is committed more than once, if the victim is a family member or ancestor, or if the crime is particularly heinous.”

So maybe he could be released after three years since he is not a reoffender. Most likely he will be deported and banned from re-entering Korea after serving his sentence. He definitely needs a good lawyer who knows the system. |

The liver function test will now have a pass/fail limit, for the first time March 2015. 
If you're over the limit, bye, bye VISA - F visa people may get off more lightly. |

I've already seen " how does drinking affect your teaching? " on the EPIK renewal form.
Crazy how we're thought of here. This might not help. |

Forget it, Smith. It's Itaewon. |

It is not hearsay. You can read the update that was posted on the gofundme page before it was deleted. |

It's Itaewon, isitts. Not Chinatown. |

He can say it all he wants, he's going to need proof backing that up. I'm guessing he doesn't have any. Unfortunately for him, it reeks of an attempt to drum up some sympathy. I'm guessing slandering the dead will not go over well unless he's got some evidence. |

He may or may not have that 'evidence', but if the cops have any 'evidence' that he punched the guy...he is going to jail for murder.
This is a terrible turn of events.
My sympathies to both of their families. |

Whether or not he has evidence of that is probably immaterial. If the fellow really died, I imagine he's looking at something between manslaughter (if his account is 100% true) and murder (if it isn't). "I killed the guy, but I saw him grope a woman earlier," is not the kind of logic that is going to exonerate him. |

| I didn't think it would exonerate him, but at least maybe earn him a little bit of leniency in sentencing. Unless like I was saying he doesn't have any evidence of any sexual assault, then he's just slandering a dead guy and likely to get hit with all the books. |
