The prosecution also demanded a prison sentence for Oh Jae-won (40), a former professional baseball player who was additionally charged with receiving drugs following dozens of charges of taking methamphetamine.스포츠토토

According to News 1, Newsis reports, the prosecution asked Oh Jae-won to be sentenced to four months in prison, the same amount as the first trial's sentence, at a hearing of the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Appeals Department 9-3 (Chief Judge Jeong Hye-won, Choi Bo-won, Ryu Chang-seong).

In November 2023, Oh Jae-won was sentenced to four months in prison and two years of probation in the first trial for receiving about 0.2 grams of methamphetamine from his acquaintance A, a worker at an entertainment establishment.

The man, who was also indicted, is suspected of conspiring with B and C to sell sleeping anesthetics. The first trial sentenced A to one and a half years in prison, B and C to one year and 10 months in prison, and 10 months in prison with two years of probation.

Oh Jae-won's lawyer said, "Oh suffered from panic disorder amid mental pressure that was hard to bear as a professional baseball player. I should have received proper treatment, but it is difficult to receive treatment, so I have become dependent on psychotropic drugs and have to deal with them," and asked the court to reconsider the appropriateness of the first trial sentence.

"I am truly sorry that this was created because of me," Oh said in his final statement. "I will not be able to protect my family because of my wrongdoings and will never make the wrong choice again. I will reflect on myself every day."
