To clear the client's grievance, the Ulsan criminal law specialist attorney emphasized that there had been no intent and appealed for leniency.

The Ulsan Criminal Law Specialist Attorney Argued That the Suspect Was Heavily Intoxicated at the Time

What the suspect remembered from the day of the incident was the scene of a man shouting and the scene of being investigated at the police box.

The suspect was so heavily intoxicated as to be unable even to recognize where the suspect was heading or where the suspect had arrived, and the suspect argued that there had been no intent whatsoever to intrude upon habitation.

The Ulsan Criminal Law Specialist Attorney Argued That the Suspect Had Caused No Harm

The suspect entered the building without being stopped in any way, and did not damage the entrance door or manipulate the password to enter the building.

The suspect argued that the suspect had merely wandered aimlessly while heavily intoxicated, entered the place where the incident occurred, and then fallen asleep.

The Ulsan Criminal Law Specialist Attorney Argued That the Suspect Was a First-Time Offender

The attorney argued that the suspect had no criminal record of any kind and that this case was also merely a mistake that occurred due to heavy intoxication.

3. The Result of the Ulsan Criminal Law Specialist Attorney's Assistance, ‘Non-Prosecution’

The prosecution accepted the Ulsan criminal law specialist attorney's argument and decided not to prosecute.

Thanks to the Ulsan criminal law specialist attorney's argument that the suspect had no intent to commit the offense and did not constitute the act of intrusion under the crime of intrusion upon habitation, the suspect was able to receive a non-prosecution disposition.
