1. The Client's Situation
The client received an acquittal at the first instance on charges including fraud, but the prosecutor had filed an appeal.
The client wished to have the prosecutor's appeal dismissed in order to preserve the first-instance acquittal, and sought the Changwon attorney's assistance.
The Client's Situation
The client had become entangled in fraud charges.
The co-defendants involved in the case along with the client had conspired to pose as the building owner without being the owner and to defraud a buyer of the purchase price.
The co-defendants then divided up roles such as a licensed real estate agent and other building owners, deceiving the victims and defrauding them of money.
The client had been indicted together with them on charges of taking part in the conduct in question.
The client received an acquittal at the first instance, but the prosecutor had filed an appeal.
The Changwon attorney set out to provide assistance in having the prosecutor's appeal dismissed and the first-instance judgment upheld.
2. Assistance Provided for the Client
The attorney set out to assist the client.
The Changwon attorney rebutted the grounds of the prosecutor's appeal and worked to have the first-instance judgment upheld.
The Client Argues That the Prosecutor's Appeal Has No Merit
The prosecutor argued that the client had engaged in 'conduct that reinforced the resolve to commit the offense.'
The Changwon attorney rebutted this by pointing out that, although the client had been offered a part in the offense, the client had declined.
The other defendants had asked the client to look into matters such as a corporate bank account to be used in the offense and the exchange of gift certificates, and the client did reply that they would, but in fact looked into nothing.
The prosecutor argued that the client had taken part based solely on the fact that the client had agreed to the other defendants' text messages.
The Changwon attorney emphasized that the client had not in fact carried out the other defendants' requests and again argued that the client had no connection to the offense at issue.
The Client Argues That the Requirements for an Accomplice Are Not Met
The Changwon attorney argued that the client was not an accomplice.
When another defendant asked about the progress of the matter they had requested, the client did make a remark to the effect of “I will look into it further,” but the client had no intention of actually looking into it and did not do so.
The Changwon attorney emphasized that the client not only committed no act of aiding, but also lacked the 'intent to aid' the principal's commission of the offense, and therefore did not meet the requirements for an accomplice.
As a result, the co-defendants received no assistance whatsoever in connection with the offense they had asked the client to help with.
The Changwon attorney emphasized this fact and argued that the client had no involvement in the offense at issue.
3. The Client Succeeds in Having the Appeal Dismissed
The client succeeded in having the prosecutor's appeal dismissed and preserved the first-instance acquittal.
The client explained that, “I was afraid the first-instance acquittal might be overturned by the prosecutor's appeal. Thanks to the Changwon attorney, I was able to preserve the acquittal.”
Because a prosecutor's appeal is filed with the aim of seeking a heavier punishment than the one already imposed, if the prosecutor's argument is accepted, a defendant may receive a more severe punishment than under the first-instance judgment.
To have a prosecutor's appeal dismissed, one must determine on what grounds the prosecutor objected to the first-instance judgment, and prepare after reviewing every possibility the prosecutor may raise.
