South Korea: At 11:00 am KST/JST the Supreme Court will deliver impeachment verdict

It's been 3 months and 11 days, but the Court is ready to hand down it's verdict on Park Geun-hye's Presidency. The Court has announced that Friday at 11:00 am local time, they will deliver the verdict
It takes 6 sitting justices to decide the Assembly's Impeachment was valid. Normally there are nine sitting justices. But, in January one retired. So, the margin becomes thinner. The need to get the decision out quickly is made greater with the pending retirement of another justice which would mean they'd need 6 of the 7, instead of 6 of 8 to render their decision.

This whole situation has captivated much of the public as the weekly Pro-Impeachment populace have turned out in numbers over half-a-million or more (no matter the weather) in Gwanghwamun, Seoul holding rallies, the sheer number of the wealthiest Korean families that have been caught up in the bribery allegations, the splitting of her party into two factions, the seeming end of former UN Secretary Ban Ki-moon's political career under a dark cloud and the center of this universe of corruption, greed and political malfeasance, a close confidant of President Park who it appears used her influence with the President to extort millions of dollars and intimidate others into giving her what she wanted

I hope she goes
