SOURCE: '강도 상해' 나나 모녀 억울 등판, 재판은 계속 "상해 진단서 관계자 증인 신문"
The trial regarding singer and actress Nana's home invasion and robbery case continues.
According to legal sources on the 12th, the 1st Criminal Division of the Euijeongbu District Court's Namyangju Branch will hold the fourth hearing for Mr. A, who is charged with robbery and causing injury to Nana and her mother, and proceed with witness examinations. The court had previously announced that officials who issued the medical injury reports for Nana and her mother would testify that day.
During the previous hearing, Nana and her mother attended in person as witnesses. Although Nana's side had expressed their wish not to attend because she did not want to face Mr. A directly, she ultimately had no choice but to comply. After coming face-to-face with Mr. A in court, Nana reportedly could not contain her anger and yelled, "Is this fun for you? Look at me straight in the eyes."
She also reportedly raised her voice in court, saying, "In my own way, I believe I gave Mr. A every possible chance given the situation and made the right choices. I don't understand why this trial is being dragged out for so long and why I have to endure this humiliation. It feels like I'm being victimized endlessly." At the same time, she also expressed pity toward Mr. A, saying, "I entered the courtroom feeling angry, but as we went through the details of the incident one by one, I started to feel sorry for him. I hope his sentence doesn't get any heavier. I hope it ends here and that he truly reflects on his actions."
According to prosecutors, Mr. A is accused of breaking into Nana's home in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, around 6 PM (KST) on November 15 last year while carrying a weapon, threatening Nana and her mother, and attempting to steal money. Nana and her mother were injured while subduing him and reporting the incident to the police.
Mr. A has denied most of the charges. During the first hearing on January 20, he claimed through his legal representative that the weapon found at the scene did not belong to him, but was something the victim (Nana) had brought out from inside the house. He added, "I only entered because I thought it was an empty house and inteded to steal something," and even went as far as claiming that he was 'beaten one-sidedly.'
Mr. A also sued Nana for attempted murder and aggravated assault, claiming that he was injured while Nana and her mother were subduing him. The police concluded that Nana's actions were self-defense and decided not to forward the case due to lack of charges. Subsequently, Nana sued A for false accusation.
The sentencing hearing is reportedly scheduled to take place on June 4.
