SEOUL (Reuters) - The lawyer for Samsung Group heir Jay Y. Lee said on Monday his client plans to appeal to the Supreme Court after he was found guilty of some charges by an appeals court, even though his sentence was suspended and he was able to walk free.

The appeals court on Monday suspended the jail term after a year's detention amid a corruption scandal that brought down the former president.
