arrested in March for allegedly threatening to “shoot up” a private school in Pennsylvania, may have a tough time avoiding jail time as his court hearing looms, according to a legal expert, reported EBC.
As Sun’s court hearing is set for tomorrow (April 25), forensic scientist Henry Lee (李昌鈺), who is an idol of Sun, said that he may be able to have the charges related to the verbal threats dropped. However, he said the amount of ammunition, 1,600 rounds of various types, was too large, and if it becomes a special case, it could be a problem.
Lee said that it is possible that the judge could be convinced that when Sun told a classmate that he was going to “shoot up” their school, he was only joking, as his celebrity mother Di Ying (狄鶯) had claimed when he was first charged in March. Lee said this could help him beat the charge of terrorist threats and could help with the rest of the case. [FULL STORY]
