Military specialist attorney, my son is involved in an assault on a sentinel case.

I've already been caught twice for drunk driving. Even though I knew I shouldn't, I drove drunk again. I didn't get caught this time, but I saw somewhere that a third DUI offense has a high chance of detention and could lead to actual prison time — is that really the case? If I do get detained, are there any disadvantages?

Hello. This is the military specialist attorney of Daeryun Law Firm (LLC).

I can imagine how surprised and worried you must be that your son is involved in an assault on a sentinel case.

Assault on a sentinel refers to assault or intimidation against a soldier on guard duty in the military, that is, a sentinel.

Sentinels who are responsible for the security and order of the military have very important roles, so they are punished much more severely than general assault.

According to the Military Criminal Act, assault on a sentinel is divided into wartime conditions (in front of the enemy) and peacetime conditions, with different levels of punishment.

In the case of in front of the enemy, imprisonment of up to 7 years; in the case of peacetime, imprisonment of up to 5 years may be imposed.

In particular, in the case of assault on a sentinel, unlike general criminal law assault, you cannot avoid punishment even if you settle with the victim.

Therefore, it is most important to consult with a military specialist attorney to carefully examine the exact circumstances of the case and the legal application.

Since military criminal procedures have peculiarities unlike general criminal cases, it is best to receive assistance from a military specialist attorney.
