"The trial of Korean Air (KAL) heiress Cho Hyun Ah, charged with aviation safety violations following a now notorious "nut rage" incident that triggered a national uproar, opened on Monday.
Cho, also called Heather, who has been in custody since her formal arrest three weeks ago, was whisked into the western district court complex in Seoul by bus through a heavy media presence. Wearing a green prison uniform, Cho stood with her head lowered in the packed courtroom, answering preliminary questions in a near-whisper.
The daughter of Korean Air chief executive Cho Yang Ho could face a maximum 10-year sentence if convicted of the aviation safety violations and a possible five years on additional charges of coercion and interference in the execution of duty."
Kudos to Korea, justice has been done. Now, if only every aviation safety (ahem) incident was treated this seriously...
