Prosecutors say Joonho Lee — the founder of Soldiers of Christ — wanted 12 disciples and tried to recruit a Korean American student at Georgia State University after Cho’s death. Lee’s attorney, Scott Drake, said outside the hearing that he was still gathering information and could not immediately comment. Gawon Lee’s attorney, John Kim, did not respond to calls and emails. Ashley McMahan, Hyunji Lee’s attorney, said her client was treated like an “indentured servant” by the other defendants. She was also in South Korea for some of the time that prosecutors say Cho was held and did not know what was happening, McMahan added.
