k-aquaculture of bluefin tuna surviving "interference" by japan

Yeosu geumohdo the young bluefin tuna caught about 3kg in body weight of 118 set net (定 置 網) is installed in the water by fishermen. News immediately reported to the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute. Fishermen and signed up MOU and juvenile bluefin tuna is caught higil was being awaited. Researchers were dispatched urgently. Bluefin tuna are caught in the net were transferred to one that can be treasured by rats moving cage. Nets have been used. Nestle was also special material wound no sound well. The scales on the skin easily hurt because I was to maximize the protection of bluefin tuna. Bluefin tuna transferred to cages were moved back to the farm cages Geomundo. Move it took only 37 hours. In order not to irritate the sensitive, yet had the fish of the wild nature. So the delayed maximum speed. Five years ago, it is one of 2011.
.......
Korea's first in the world was a moment to collect fertilized bluefin tuna in second after Japan.
........
The market Agencies raised to hold back a little tuna juvenile in nature is called "imperfect form. Europe has so should the form. By kiwoseo fry the eggs after getting raised by parents incubate the fertilized egg tuna is the largest tuna is to raise the so-called "full form". Japan has fully succeeded in this form through the near half-century studied. South Korea began to form R tuna Japan has blocked all information. Export of fertilized eggs or fry were also strictly prohibited. Million flight hours in the wind close to Japan so that a lousy thing to go up to over 20 hours in Europe had to import embryos.

Japanese "interference" is refusing to export eggs/fry to Korea? Is it really a another Korean "first" (second?) if they have import the starting point from another country?

"First after Japan." So that's second in most people's language.

And what's the reason behind Japan's refusal to export eggs and fry? If it's commercial advantage then I'd say fair enough - the country needs every advantage it can cling on to.

But Koreans invented everything...so they're obviously the best, superior by default. (and those dirty Japanese imperialist dogs surely don't count)

Leave it to Koreans to spin that as "interference."

US man extradited to South Korea over high-profile 1997 murder

An American man suspected of killing a South Korean college student in 1997 protested his innocence as he arrived in Seoul under guard on Wednesday after being extradited from the United States.

Arthur Patterson, 35, is expected to face trial on charges that he killed Jo Jung-Pil, who was stabbed multiple times with a knife in a fast-food restaurant toilet in the nightlife district of Itaewon, close to the US military base in Seoul ...

20 years ago...

The guy was 16 ?

You Merkunz can get extradicted for juvenile crimes ?

What a nice country...

[Salty]

Seems he was 17, and was convicted of destruction of evidence (threw away the knife), and spent a year in jail. He now will be tried for the murder itself.

A lot on the extradition decision here:

Well since we try juveniles as adults on a regular basis it's not particularly surprising.

[Coligny]

Will he have to pay US taxes during the time spend in korean jailz ?

No but he may have to file a tax return every year.

[Salty]

He was under SOFA at the time of the killing, and I believe that means he would have been represented at trial by base lawyers. Now no longer under SOFA, I suspect that he needs to defend himself. But given that it was a diplomatic decision to extradite him, he probably wouldn`t want their help anyway. Done the deed in fact, or not – I suspect that he will be found guilty and that the trial doesn`t matter.

[matsuki]

I suspect that he will be found guilty and that the trial doesn`t matter.

From what we've seen of Korean courts, I have to agree. I wonder if avoiding another US military related incident was what motivated the original prosecutors to prosecute the other Korean dude involved? Why was the conviction overturned and he acquitted the next time around?

Politics and bias aside, if you didn't do it, why are you the one disposing of the murder weapon?

Idiots help their friends cover up crimes all the time. It's called being an accessory.

I know nothing about the ROK justice system but considering he was a juvenile at the time I wonder how much time he could actually get if he is convicted.

Microaggressor! Just because he has the surname Lee doesn't mean he can't be an American!! Ignoring all the Robert E. examples even if in Korea.

Edward Lee, US Citizen, was originally sentenced to life, reduced to 20 years on appeal, before the Supreme Court ordered a new trial and he was acquitted for lack of evidence. That gives you an idea of the wide choice of sentencing outcomes.

The girl was stabbed seven times, but new evidence based upon technology not available at the time indicates she was stabbed nine times... or some such garbled evidence or reporting. Yup, he will get the full penalty... whatever that is.

[wagyl]

Was that before or after the victim had some quick gender realignment surgery? He was certainly born a male, and was using the male toilet at Burger King. I knew that graphic was there for a reason!

I don`t know about the loos in Korea, but not so many years ago most in Japan were uni-sex, and some still are. I haven`t seen anything on motive....

[wagyl]

You can see the trailer for the Hanryu drama style movie which rekindled interest in this case and built up enough pressure that Korea renewed extradition efforts, in spite of questions about whether the statute of limitations had run on the crime or not, here.

LOL, fair enough....so he's apparently a Korean-American. I still don't see any reasoning why they originally prosecuted/convicted him though?

....or why there is a big deal about failing to put a travel ban on the freshly extradited dude AFTER he served time for a lesser charge. It's not exactly reasonable (legal?) to force a foreign national to stay in your country indefinitely WELL AFTER you prosecuted/jailed him on a lesser charge related to a crime you think he may have committed. Visa status: potential suspect? You either go after him with what you got at the time or you let em go if you don't have any evidence to go after him on. (and pray for extradition if you find some legit new evidence) This whole "new evidence" sounds really sketch as well but if he really did kill the dude, let em rot in South Korean jail.

[Salty]

This lad could be on trial for several years, since the prosecution can also appeal a non-guilty ruling of a lower court. (Not that I think he is likely to be found not-guilty.)

Infamous Murder Case Shines Light on Korean Justice

http://thediplomat.com/2015/09/infamous ... n-justice/

[wagyl]

As is typical of such reports, for many of those examples of South Korea's "unique" justice system (in other words, where it differs from the system in the US), it is in fact the US system which is different from many other systems, rather than the other way around. Plea bargaining is the most notable example.

Salty, you get a gold star for correcting the "finding of innocence" in the article to "not guilty ruling." A court does not find you innocent, it only fails to find you guilty.

[Wage Slave]

Salty, you get a gold star for correcting the "finding of innocence" in the article to "not guilty ruling." A court does not find you innocent, it only fails to find you guilty.

It's a long time since I studied these things and it was only ever as far as English law is concerned, but a finding of not guilty carries more weight than a acknowledgement of a failure to find guilt. This is what underpinned strict double jeopardy rules - You couldn't be tried again after being found not guilty if the original trial was procedurally sound and none of the officers or witnesses had been got at. And that was even if new evidence emerged that may have changed the verdict. Even a confession or boast wasn't enough to cause a retrial.

However the law has changed and double jeopardy is more permissible, so yes a verdict of "not guilty" it is moving more in the direction of "not proven".

Scotland, always more sensible in terms of criminal law than England and Wales, always had a third verdict of "not proven" which left the path open for a retrial if more evidence emerged. They have also gone further in dismantling the double jeopardy principle.

[matsuki]

Trial by jury of peers......in Korea.....with a Korean dead....and an American accused....

As far as double jeopardy goes, regardless of legal system, it's pretty fucked to go after anyone again unless you have some substantial new evidence.

If whatever is new here turns out to be more hype than convincing new evidence, this case will probably ruin any extradition attempts between the US/SK in the future....assuming there is any transparency with the proceedings??

Elderly prostitutes reveal dark side of South Korea's rapid ascent, many cut off from children

As about a dozen elderly men loiter in a small plaza near a cinema, mostly chatting or watching people pass by, several deeply wrinkled women stroll among them, trolling for customers willing to pay for sex in nearby motels.

"Hey, do you want to go with me? I can treat you really well," a 76-year-old woman with a limp says as a reporter approaches her on a recent sunny afternoon.

Despite a police crackdown this spring that resulted in 33 arrests, including an 84-year-old woman, the so-called "Bacchus ladies" can still be seen near the Piccadilly theater in Seoul's Jongno neighborhood. The nickname comes from the popular energy drink that many of the prostitutes have traditionally sold.

The middle-aged and elderly women and their customers — both pitied and scorned in this conservative country — provide a look at the dark side of South Korea's rapid economic rise and erosion of traditional parent-child roles. As a growing, ultra-competitive middle class has become preoccupied with getting ahead, many elderly and poor people have been left to fend for themselves.

[...]

According to Confucian ideals, parents are to be cherished by their children. For centuries, elder sons took their parents into their homes and cared for them until they died. But as the country modernized, younger generations moved to cities for jobs and school, leaving many parents behind in the countryside. Others simply stopped looking out for their parents.

South Korea has one of the world's fastest aging populations, but pension and welfare systems for the elderly lag behind other developed countries. Nearly half of South Koreans aged 65 and older live on less than half the national median income, and the elderly suicide rate has nearly quadrupled over the past 25 years.

[...]

Lee, the professor, said that most of the women she has interviewed had dabbled in prostitution when they worked at karaoke bars and teahouses in their early years. Just a few — five or six — were ordinary housewives before turning into prostitution in their old age.

So it's mostly old hookers who ... surprise, surprise ... didn't go anywhere after selling their pussies when they were younger and hotter. I do feel bad for them on a certain level but that fact would seem to contradict the thesis of the article.

[Coligny]

Sounds legit...

prostitution is most traditional tradition in korea.
before empire japan annexed it, there were no industries other than prostitution in korean peninsula.
that country has been full of whores all over the place since a very long time ago.
its the last thing korean want to face

[Salty]

... Nearly half of South Koreans aged 65 and older live on less than half the national median income,...

This would be true for most countries.... and almost, by definition.
