1. The client who came to the Gangneung attorney
The client who came to the Gangneung attorney said they had been arrested for using narcotics and requested a defense against a prison sentence.
2. The facts of the offense of the Gangneung attorney's client
The facts of the offense of the client who requested the Gangneung attorney's assistance were as follows.
The client agreed to purchase methamphetamine from a narcotics dealer whom they had come to know through social media, and purchased the methamphetamine by depositing a certain amount through an ATM and then retrieving the methamphetamine that the dealer had hidden.
The client then used the methamphetamine several times by injecting it directly with a disposable syringe.
As a result, the Gangneung attorney's client was charged with the purchase and use of narcotics.
In addition, although the indictment in this case was served to the client's address, the client did not receive it because of a closed and absent residence, and although the matter subsequently proceeded by service by public notice, the client was unaware of this and a warrant was issued and the client was detained.

Narcotics Control Act, Article 60 (Penalty Provisions)
① A person who falls under any of the following subparagraphs shall be punished by imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to 100 million won.
1. A person who, in violation of Article 3, subparagraph 1, uses a narcotic or a psychotropic drug falling under Article 2, subparagraph 3, item (a), or who, in violation of Article 3, subparagraph 11, provides to another person a place, facility, equipment, funds, or means of transport for engaging in a prohibited act related to a narcotic or a psychotropic drug falling under Article 2, subparagraph 3, item (a)
2. A person who, in violation of Article 4, paragraph 1, sells, arranges the sale of, receives, possesses, owns, uses, manages, dispenses, administers, or provides a psychotropic drug falling under Article 2, subparagraph 3, items (b) and (c), or a psychotropic drug containing such substance, or who issues a prescription listing a psychotropic drug
Because the Gangneung attorney's client purchased and 🔗used narcotics, the client could be punished under the Narcotics Control Act by imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to 100 million won.
4. The Gangneung attorney's defense of the client
The Gangneung attorney undertook the following defense to prevent the client's prison sentence.
Gangneung attorney emphasizes that the client admits all of the charged facts
The Gangneung attorney's client admits all of the charged facts in this case. The client subsequently came to reflect on how great an impact their wrongdoing could have on society and is showing much remorse.
Gangneung attorney emphasizes that the client had no intention of evading trial
After the public prosecution was instituted in this case, the Gangneung attorney's client did not receive the indictment and was therefore unaware of the charged facts themselves.
The client had been receiving psychiatric treatment when their condition became serious and they were admitted on an emergency basis.
This shows that the client had simply failed to receive the indictment and had no intention whatsoever of evading trial or fleeing.
Gangneung attorney emphasizes that the client's parents passed away when the client was young
The Gangneung attorney's client is an orphan whose parents passed away when the client was young and who has no siblings at all.
Because of this, the client worked part-time jobs while studying from their school days and strove to live diligently even in such an environment.
The Gangneung attorney's client currently has a fiancé to whom they have promised a future. The client lives together with the fiancé in a relatively stable life, and the fiancé has likewise resolved that, if the client receives leniency, they will help with treatment together and help the client live as a diligent member of society.
5. The Gangneung attorney's successful defense of the client against a prison sentence
Having heard the Gangneung attorney's defense, the court imposed a suspended sentence on the client.
Because the client had not only purchased narcotics but also used them several times, a severe punishment had been expected, but with the Gangneung attorney's assistance the client was able to successfully defend against a prison sentence.
Because narcotics can have a great adverse effect on society, even mere possession is punished severely.
