Appeals Court Increases Former First Lady’s Prison Sentence from 20 Months to 4 Years

Kim Keon-hee is going to be in jail for far longer than she served as First Lady. Was pursuing politics with her husband worth this?:

 An appeals court on Tuesday increased the sentence for former first lady Kim Keon Hee from 20 months to four years in prison on corruption charges.

The Seoul High Court handed down the sentence during a hearing that was televised live, after finding her partially guilty of involvement in a stock price manipulation scheme and guilty of accepting luxury gifts from the Unification Church.

It acquitted her, however, of receiving free opinion poll results from a self-proclaimed power broker, upholding the lower court’s ruling.
