If I settle with the victim, will I get a not-guilty verdict?

It seems you are considering settling for damages because you suffered assault or injury.

If you committed an offense subject to victim's intent that cannot be prosecuted against the victim's express will, and you settle with the victim and obtain the victim's non-punishment intent, prosecution cannot be initiated.

Representative offenses subject to victim's intent include assault, threats, insult, defamation, trespassing, and property damage.

However, unless there are such exceptions, even if you smoothly settle with the victim and obtain non-punishment intent, the possibility of a guilty verdict is high.

In particular, since the injury offense is not an offense subject to victim's intent, even if you settle and receive a non-punishment statement, the perpetrator will be punished depending on the degree of the act.

However, if substantial damage recovery, the perpetrator's use of the criminal deposit system, and sincere remorse are recognized, the perpetrator's punishment may be mitigated.

Through consultation with a criminal specialist attorney, you can demand strict punishment through complaint representation from the victim's position, so first consult about the matter and prepare a solution that can punish the perpetrator even after receiving settlement money.
