[Ansan Criminal Case Attorney Defense] Ansan Criminal Case Attorney Successfully Defends a Special Bodily Injury Client With a Suspended Sentence

While returning home heavily intoxicated, the client fell and suffered injuries such as loosened teeth.

Using this as a pretext, the client started a quarrel with the victim, his wife.

When the victim slapped the client on the cheek several times, telling him to come to his senses, the angered client said to the victim, "I will kill myself."

When the victim then brought a kitchen knife and said "Go die," the enraged client swung the knife about 3 times at both of the victim's arms, cutting both of the victim's arms.

In doing so, the client used the kitchen knife to inflict on the victim injuries such as multiple lacerations to the left upper arm requiring an unspecified number of treatment days.

Facing the risk of heavy punishment, the client requested help from an Ansan criminal case attorney in order to avoid at least an actual custodial sentence.
