Some 59 people were convicted after breaking into the Seoul Western District Court in Mapo in January last year in a protest against Yoon's arrest over his botched martial law debacle a month earlier. They received prison terms, suspended sentences, or fines in the first trial.
Of these, 35 appealed and received similar or slightly reduced penalties, and 18 cases were taken to the top court.
The court also found filmmaker Jung Yoon-suk guilty, upholding his 2 million won fine. He had claimed he stormed the courthouse with a camera to document the incident.
