2. The Mokpo Law Office's Assistance for the Client Charged with Attempted Murder
The Mokpo Law Office undertook the defense of the client, who faced the grave charge of 🔗attempted murder, in order to defend against punishment.
The Mokpo Law Office acknowledged all of the alleged facts but devised a defense strategy along the line that the client had no genuine intent to kill.
The Mokpo Law Office Argues the Absence of a Motive to Kill
The client who requested the help of the Mokpo Law Office and the victim were friends.
On the day of the incident, they drank together at the client's home, and the two, heavily intoxicated, got into an argument over a trivial matter.
The heavily intoxicated client, unable to control his anger, picked up a kitchen knife and attacked the victim.
The victim and the client were close friends, and the client harbored no grudge whatsoever against the victim.
It originated merely from a simple quarrel that led him to attack the victim, and there was no motive at all to kill.
The Mokpo Law Office's Argument on the Use of the Weapon
In order to prove that the client had no genuine intent to kill, the Mokpo Law Office made arguments concerning how the weapon was used in the incident.
The client, who is right-handed, harmed the victim with his left hand at the time of the offense.
if they had intended to kill the victim, he would have swung with his right hand, with which he could handle the weapon more easily.
However, the client gripped and used the weapon with his left hand, which he could not use with familiarity.
On the basis of these facts, the Mokpo Law Office argued that the client did not genuinely have the will to kill.
