Kim Sung Min sentenced for meth smuggling and use

Posted by VITALSIGN42 pts Monday, January 24, 2011

Actor Kim Sung Min (38), who was previously arrested on suspicions of illegal meth use and smuggling, was sentenced to serve two years and six months in jail. Kim was arrested under suspicions of purchasing meth from the Philippines. He was not only accused of injecting the drug five times, but for smoking marijuana as well. On January 24th, the 513th Seoul Central District Court sentenced the star to a two year, six-month prison term, in addition to paying a fee of $905 USD. Kim admitted to his crimes at his second trial (held on the 17th), and prosecutors argued for a four year prison sentence and a $905 USD fee. However, it appears that the court ruled in favor of a lesser sentence, as they considered how he's submitted over three apologetic letters throughout his three trials, pleading for a lighter judgement. A representative of the court revealed, "The accused normally do not submit letters of apologies with such consistency, which shows that he has recognized his crime himself."
