1. How the Client Came to Seek the Uijeongbu Criminal Case Attorney

After consulting with the Uijeongbu criminal case attorney, the client, who had been criminally charged by their older sister with stalking and intrusion upon habitation, visited the Uijeongbu office in order to respond to the matter.

The Client Who Requested Assistance From the Uijeongbu Criminal Case Attorney

This is the account of a client who sought assistance from a criminal case attorney in Uijeongbu.

The client was one of three brothers, and the youngest brother, who had a history of mental illness, lived together at their older sister's home.

Then, after their father passed away, the client quarreled with the older sister and received a notice from her that she wished to sever ties.

However, out of suspicion and concern that the sister might be neglecting the younger brother, the client decided to go to the sister's home.

Because the emotional rift ran deep, and thinking that the sister's family might cause the client harm, the client visited the home while carrying a baseball bat.

The client also wrote a letter to the younger brother, who had no mobile phone, and posted it on the front door.

Upon learning of this, the sister filed a criminal complaint against the client, and the client thus came to face charges of 🔗Violation of the Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking and 🔗Intrusion upon habitation.

Feeling that this was unjust, the client came to the Uijeongbu criminal case attorney and requested assistance.

2. The Uijeongbu Criminal Case Attorney's Assistance

The Uijeongbu criminal case attorney reviewed the client's case in cooperation with an attorney who has handled numerous related cases and possesses extensive experience.

Establishing a strategy to defend the client against punishment, the attorney made the following arguments.

The Uijeongbu Criminal Case Attorney's Argument 1 | Denial of the Charged Facts

The reason the client visited the home was that the complainant in this case had ignored the client's request to take good care of the complainant's younger sibling.

The complainant had neglected the younger sibling, and on one occasion the sibling wandered the streets, after which the client received a call from the police and went to find the sibling.

Because of this history, the client argued that, out of concern, the client visited and left a letter, and that the visit was made to check on the sibling's well-being.

The Uijeongbu Criminal Case Attorney's Argument 2 | The Applicable Legal Principles

Under the Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking, the term refers to continuously or repeatedly carrying out stalking that causes anxiety or fear in another person.

The attorney argued that, although the client's conduct was inappropriate, it could not be said to lack a justifiable reason, and therefore it did not constitute the stalking prohibited under the Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking.

The Uijeongbu Criminal Case Attorney's Argument 3 | Whether Intrusion Upon Habitation Was Established

The victim did not visit the residence for the purpose of committing a crime, nor did the victim engage in any act that disturbed the state of peace.

We argued that the mere circumstance of acting against the complainant's will cannot be regarded as constituting the crime of intrusion upon habitation, and that the client merely posted a letter at the front door and then immediately left.

3. Result of the Uijeongbu Criminal Case Attorney's Assistance: "No Prosecution"

Accepting the arguments of the Uijeongbu criminal case attorney, the prosecution ultimately rendered a no prosecution decision on the client's charges.
