[Daegu Criminal Attorney Defense Against Punishment] Daeryun Daegu Criminal Attorney Obtains a Suspended Sentence for Client Indicted for Special Intimidation and Interference With Business

The situation of the client who came to Daeryun's Daegu criminal attorney is as follows.

The client visited a hospital located in Daegu and sought to be prescribed a narcotic painkiller for pain in both knees.

In the outpatient examination room, the client was informed, “The current consultation is a specialized consultation for the back, so the knees cannot be examined at this time. It is difficult to prescribe a painkiller for knee pain.”

The client was experiencing severe pain in the knees at the time.

Upon being told that the painkiller prescription was refused, the client became extremely enraged for a moment, took out a sashimi knife the client was carrying, and threatened the examining physician.

■ Crime of Intimidation

- Criminal Act Article 283
A person who intimidates another commits the crime of simple intimidation and shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than three years, or by a fine not exceeding five million won, detention, or a minor fine.

- Criminal Act Article 284
A person who commits the crime of intimidation by displaying the collective force of an organization or a multitude, or by carrying a dangerous object, commits the crime of special intimidation and shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than seven years or by a fine not exceeding ten million won.

- Criminal Act Article 285
In consideration of the particular nature of the crime of intimidation, the Criminal Act aggravates the punishment of a habitual offender by up to one half of the punishment prescribed for that crime.

■ Interference With Business

- Criminal Act Article 314
A person who interferes with the business of another shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than five years or by a fine not exceeding fifteen million won.

Daeryun's Daegu criminal attorney argued that the client now acknowledged all of the offense the client had committed at the hospital located in Daegu and was showing remorse for the wrongdoing.

As another important point, Daeryun's Daegu criminal attorney addressed the client's situation at the time of the offense.

The client had suffered for a long time from a knee injury sustained while serving as a firefighter in the Daegu area.

Daeryun's Daegu criminal attorney emphasized that the client committed the offense impulsively after being refused a prescription for medication to address the pain.

Daeryun's Daegu criminal attorney argued that, although the client brandished a knife and made a threat, the client did not inflict any injury.

This was because the client did not directly take the knife out of its sheath.

The Daegu criminal attorney also emphasized that the client apologized to the victim, paid two million won, and reached a settlement.

As random assault incidents have recently increased sharply, penalties for special intimidation are being strengthened.

Threatening another person while holding a weapon such as a knife constitutes a serious crime, and an actual custodial sentence may be imposed even if it does not lead to direct assault or injury.

For this reason, if a person is criminally indicted on a charge such as special intimidation, the assistance of an experienced criminal attorney may be needed.

Daeryun Law Firm works to protect the rights and interests of clients by establishing favorable strategies and submitting persuasive evidence.
