1. The Client's Situation
The client came to Daeryun's Jinju office, seeking to resolve the matter through the assistance of a law firm with extensive experience in handling various criminal cases.
How the Client Came to the Jinju Law Firm
The account of the client, who urgently came to the Jinju law firm to request a consultation, is as follows.
The client and the victim had been close friends who had known each other for a long time.
However, beginning with an argument one day, the relationship between the two gradually began to grow distant.
On top of this, the victim went so far as to file a lawsuit against the client.
The client asked the victim to withdraw the lawsuit, but the victim had no intention whatsoever of changing the decision.
Angered by this attitude, the client struck the victim's face, head, and shoulders several times, inflicting on the victim an injury requiring about two weeks of treatment.
🔗Assault/Infliction of Bodily Injury is a serious crime that causes irreversible and severe physical and psychological harm to the victim, so the courts treat it strictly.
Seeking the assistance of an attorney with extensive experience in handling various criminal cases, the client came to the Jinju branch office.
2. The Statute on Infliction of Bodily Injury Explained by the Jinju Law Firm
The crime of infliction of bodily injury refers to a crime that is committed when a person intentionally injures the body of another.
Article 257 of the Criminal Act provides for the punishment for injuring a person.
① A person who inflicts bodily injury upon the body of another shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 7 years, suspension of qualifications for not more than 10 years, or a fine not exceeding 10 million won.
② A person who commits the crime under paragraph (1) against his or her own or a spouse's lineal ascendant shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 10 years or a fine not exceeding 15 million won.
③ An attempt to commit the crimes under the preceding two paragraphs shall be punished.
Put simply, if A injures B, A may be punished, and if B is A's spouse or parent, A may receive a heavier punishment.
3. The Jinju Law Firm's Assistance
The Jinju law firm reviewed the relevant precedents and statutes and analyzed the specific facts of the case.
It prepared a suitable step-by-step response and earnestly pleaded for leniency for the client, arguing as follows.
Jinju Attorney's Argument ① The Client Shows Remorse
The client deeply shows remorse for the fact that the client failed to control a momentary anger and caused great harm to the victim.
The attorney emphasized that, together with a resolution never to commit the same wrong again, the client is making personal efforts to improve, such as steadily attending recidivism-prevention education.
Jinju Attorney's Argument ② The Victim Provoked the Client First
When the client first asked the victim to withdraw the lawsuit, the client attempted to talk in a friendly manner.
However, the attorney emphasized that the victim first showed an attitude that seemed to disregard the client, and that, angered by this, the client came to commit the offense in this case.
Jinju Attorney's Argument ③ The Degree of Injury Was Not Serious
Setting aside the circumstances of the case, the client's commission of an offense that caused a public disturbance is clearly wrongful conduct.
However, the attorney emphasized that the degree of the injury sustained by the victim was not serious and was relatively minor.
4. The Court's Decision on the Jinju Law Firm's Arguments
The court, accepting the Jinju law firm's arguments, sentenced the client to a relatively light fine. The client expressed deep gratitude to the Jinju attorney.
