Changwon Attorney | Defended a client who committed destruction of property on five occasions, resulting in a minor fine
The client who came to the Changwon attorney had destroyed property on five occasions and needed the assistance of a Changwon criminal attorney. The Changwon attorney defended the client in the destruction of property matter and obtained a minor sentence of a fine.
1. The client who came to the Changwon attorney
The client who came to the Changwon attorney was charged with destroying the vehicles and motorcycles of five victims.
Because the client committed the crime of destruction of property on five occasions rather than just once, a sentence of imprisonment appeared unavoidable, and the client came to the Changwon attorney in order to avoid imprisonment.
2. The reason the Changwon attorney's client was arrested

A few months earlier, in the early morning, on an entertainment district street in Changwon, the Changwon attorney's client, while intoxicated, destroyed property by kicking the cars and motorcycles in sight and striking them with a hammer.
Several witnesses reported the client to the police, and the police charged the client with destruction of property, but the client denied it.
However, because there were many witnesses, the Changwon attorney's client was clearly identified, and the obviousness of the act of destruction of property was considerable.
In addition, because there was a clear concern that additional harm would occur if the heavily intoxicated client were sent home from the scene, the police arrested the Changwon attorney's client in flagrante delicto in order to prevent secondary harm and the destruction of evidence.

Pursuant to Article 366 of the Criminal Act, the Changwon attorney's client faced the risk of the following punishment.

A person who impairs the utility of another's property, document, or special media record such as an electromagnetic record by destroying, concealing, or otherwise impairing its utility shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 3 years or by a fine not exceeding 7 million won.
Because the number of vehicles and motorcycles destroyed by the Changwon attorney's client was large, a sentence of imprisonment appeared difficult to avoid.

4. The judgment received by the Changwon attorney's client
After hearing the Changwon attorney's defense, the court rendered a judgment imposing a minor fine on the client.
