Military Assault Assistance Case | Suspension of Sentencing for a Client Who Assaulted a Sentry in the Military

The client was a military officer, and on the day of the incident he observed a soldier not concentrating on training and pointed this out.

However, when the soldier continued to disregard the instruction, he momentarily failed to control his emotions and struck the soldier's shoulder with his fist 3 to 4 times.

The soldier then reported the client on a charge of military assault, and the client was formally booked.

At the time, the client was about to be married, and feeling fear that he might receive heavy punishment, he promptly requested legal assistance from a military affairs attorney at Daeryun Law Firm in order to resolve the case quickly.

The issue in this case lay in the fact that the client was a military officer and the victim was a sentry, which made much heavier punishment possible than for ordinary assault in the military.

In response, the military law attorney focused on objectively proving that this case was an impulsive act resulting from a momentary emotion and the deep remorse from immediately after the incident and the amicable settlement with the victim.

From the early stage of the case, the client personally visited the soldier, sincerely apologized, and repeatedly sought forgiveness.

The military affairs attorney provided specific advice, from drafting the letter of apology to the method of delivering it, so that the client's reflective attitude could be effectively conveyed.

As a result, the attorney emphasized that the soldier's side also accepted the client's sincerity, expressed that they did not want punishment, and signed a settlement agreement and a statement of no desire for punishment.

The client had been continually cautioning and guiding a soldier whose work attitude was generally poor, but on the day of the incident as well, the soldier continued to fool around, creating a situation that undermined discipline on duty.

In this situation, although the client could have imposed disadvantages through formal procedures such as the assessment of demerit points, he judged that on-the-spot discipline would be better and, in a momentary and impulsive act, struck the soldier on the shoulder.

The client emphasized that he was deeply remorseful that his rash conduct had caused the soldier mental suffering, and that he had been responding to the investigation with the assistance of a military law attorney from the early stages of the case.
