Assistance of a Jinju criminal attorney | A Jinju criminal attorney obtains a suspended sentence for a client charged with arson of an inhabited structure

This is the story of the client who had a consultation with the Jinju criminal attorney.

The client and the victim were coworkers working in the same occupation.

On the day of the incident, the client happened to pass in front of the victim's residence while returning home after drinking.

At that moment, the client decided to set fire to the victim's house on the grounds that he smelled an unidentifiable odor.

The client lit a receipt with a lighter he was carrying and threw it toward the victim's residence, damaging part of the house.

As a result, the victim reported the matter to the police, and the client was investigated on a charge of arson of an inhabited structure.

The client then requested the help of the criminal attorney at the Jinju office in order to defend against criminal punishment.
