  Is this true Sung Kim?

  “Under the current SOFA, prosecutors must indict U.S. military suspects within 24 hours even after they are handed over to us,” the official said. “This restricts investigating agencies from seeking their custody” because they know they do not have enough time to conduct a proper investigation.

  “The prevailing view is that it’s irrational to indict suspects in violent crimes within 24 hours after they are taken into custody,” he added. “It took as many as 12 days for prosecutors to indict the U.S. military rape suspect” in a recent case, he added. “We need to readjust the indictment period, and the USFK agrees to some extent.”

  So, Korean prosecutors don’t investigate anything/anyone until they have someone in custody?

  It’s all a pretense, completely ignoring the facts. The military does not allow the suspect to meander around at will. While awaiting the Korean civilian court indictment (which, by the way, Korean military are not subject to, regardless of if their crime was committed on duty or on base or not), the US military actually has the suspect in custody.

  But, then, what would Korean news reporting be if it were to rely on facts?

  #4, they’re roughly the same as the US news reporting… So why should we expect objectivity?
