[Daejeon Criminal Defense Attorney Assistance Case] Successful Juvenile Trial Defense With the Assistance of a Daejeon Criminal Defense Attorney

The client who came to the Daejeon criminal defense attorney was a juvenile facing trial for a violation of the Road Traffic Act after riding a motorcycle without a license.

The client found a motorcycle with the key in it in an apartment parking lot, secretly stole it, and rode it for more than four hours.

The client did not hold a motorized bicycle driver's license either.

After being reported, the client came to face a juvenile trial for a violation of the Road Traffic Act and sought the assistance of the Daeryun Daejeon criminal defense attorney for the defense.

■ Protective Dispositions Under the Juvenile Act, as Explained by the Daejeon Criminal Defense Attorney

◎ Juvenile Act

▶ Article 1 (Purpose)

The purpose of this Act is to help juveniles grow soundly by taking necessary measures, such as protective dispositions for the adjustment of the environment and the correction of the conduct of juveniles with antisocial tendencies, and by taking special measures concerning criminal dispositions.

▶ Article 2 (Juveniles and Guardians)

In this Act, a “juvenile” means a person under 19 years of age, and a “guardian” means a person who has a legal obligation to provide protective custody and education or a person who currently provides protective custody.

▶ Article 32 (Decision on Protective Dispositions)

(1) If the judge of the juvenile division finds, as a result of the hearing, that a protective disposition is necessary, the judge shall by decision impose one of the dispositions falling under any of the following subparagraphs:

1. Entrustment of protective custody to a guardian or to a person who can protect the juvenile in place of a guardian

2. Order to attend a program

3. Order to perform community service

4. Short-term probation by a probation officer

5. Long-term probation by a probation officer

6. Entrustment of protective custody to a child welfare facility under the 「Child Welfare Act」 or to another juvenile protection facility

7. Entrustment to a hospital, a sanatorium, or a medical rehabilitation juvenile reformatory under the 「Act on the Treatment of Protected Juveniles, etc.」

8. Referral to a juvenile reformatory for up to one month

9. Short-term referral to a juvenile reformatory

10. Long-term referral to a juvenile reformatory

The Daejeon criminal defense attorney submitted, as evidence, a settlement agreement and a statement of no desire for punishment prepared directly by the victim, who had forgiven the client.

The client deeply regretted the offense and went to the victim in person, knelt down, and apologized.

The victim accepted the sincere apology of the client, a young juvenile, and expressed an intention to seek no further punishment.

Daeryun's Daejeon criminal defense attorney emphasized that the victim and the client had reached an amicable settlement and requested leniency for the client.

The Daejeon criminal defense attorney argued that the client fully admitted the offense and deeply reflected on it.

The client blamed himself, saying that he had foolishly committed the offense through a moment of poor judgment.

Daeryun's Daejeon criminal defense attorney submitted a long letter of reflection that the client had prepared in his own hand, thereby supporting the above argument.

The client who came to the Daejeon criminal defense attorney was a juvenile facing trial for riding a motorcycle without a license, and the client sought the assistance of a Daejeon criminal defense attorney for the defense.

Daeryun formed a case team of Daejeon criminal defense attorneys with extensive juvenile trial experience and assisted with the overall procedure to the best of its ability.

As a result, the court imposed on the client the Type 1, 2, and 4 protective dispositions, consisting of entrustment to protective custody by a guardian, an order to attend a probation office program, and an order for short-term probation.

The client, still a young juvenile, resolved never to commit a delinquent act and conveyed gratitude to the Daejeon criminal defense attorney through a letter he wrote himself.
