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.

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.

The charge against the Changwon attorney's client

The charge against the Changwon attorney's client was said to be destruction of property, so let us examine what destruction of property is.

Destruction of property is a crime that is established when a person impairs the utility of another's property by damaging it.

The punishment that the Changwon attorney's client could face

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

Criminal Act Article 366 (Destruction of Property, etc.)

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.

3. The defense undertaken by the Changwon attorney for the client

The Changwon attorney stepped in to defend the client in order to avoid a sentence of imprisonment.

The Changwon attorney emphasized that the client is showing remorse

The Changwon attorney's client deeply reflects on the wrongdoing in this case and is resolved never to commit such a wrong again.

The Changwon attorney emphasized that the client had compensated the victims

The Changwon attorney's client compensated the victims for their losses by depositing the repair costs for the damaged vehicles and motorcycles with the insurers with which those vehicles and motorcycles were insured.

The Changwon attorney emphasized that the client's acquaintances are pleading for leniency

The acquaintances of the Changwon attorney's client are strongly petitioning for leniency toward the defendant.

The Changwon attorney emphasized that the client's victims do not wish for punishment

The victims in the case of the Changwon attorney's client reached a settlement with the client and even prepared a settlement agreement and a statement of no desire for punishment stating that they did not wish for the client to be punished.

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.

Although the nature of the offense was very poor, in that the Changwon attorney's client destroyed other people's vehicles and motorcycles without reason, the client was able to receive a fine on the grounds that the client acknowledged the wrongdoing and is resolved not to reoffend, fully restored all of the victims' losses, and is the subject of petitions from those around the client.
