Gwangju Drug-Crime Attorney | A Gwangju Attorney Represents a Client Who Used Drugs on Multiple Occasions and Obtains a “Suspended Sentence”

The Gwangju drug-crime attorney's client faced charges of purchasing and using a narcotic, and he was at risk of being punished as follows.

Article 4 (Prohibition of Handling of Narcotics, etc. by Persons Other Than Narcotics Handlers)

① No person who is not a narcotics handler shall engage in any of the following acts.

1. The act of possessing, owning, using, transporting, managing, importing, exporting, manufacturing, compounding, administering, receiving, dealing in, arranging the dealing in, or providing narcotics or psychotropic drugs

Article 60 (Penalty Provisions)

① Any person who falls under any of the following shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 10 years or a fine not exceeding 100 million won.

2. A person who, in violation of Article 4 (1), deals in, arranges the dealing in, receives, possesses, owns, uses, manages, compounds, administers, or provides a psychotropic drug falling under items (b) and (c) of subparagraph 3 of Article 2 or a psychotropic drug containing such a substance, or who issues a prescription listing a psychotropic drug

Although the Gwangju drug-crime attorney's client was not a narcotics handler, he 🔗administered narcotics and purchased them, and because the number of instances reached multiple occasions, a sentence of imprisonment appeared unavoidable.

The Gwangju drug-crime attorney's client was raised by his grandparents after his parents left home when he was young.

As a result of having gone through such an unfortunate upbringing, the client suffers from moderate depression and an anxiety disorder, for which he has been receiving treatment for several years.

However, as the severity worsened, he drank alone every day to forget the pain, and his body and mind deteriorated further.

In the meantime, after watching a film about drugs, out of curiosity that it might allow him to escape his mental suffering, he easily met a drug seller and purchased and used methamphetamine.

Although the client was somewhat incoherent during questioning because he was suffering the aftereffects of the drugs, with the assistance of the Gwangju drug-crime attorney he confessed to all the facts of the offense and cooperated diligently with all of the investigation.

He also actively cooperated with the investigation in order to help eradicate the sale of narcotics.

Immediately after being released following his arrest for this offense, the Gwangju drug-crime attorney's client visited a psychiatric clinic and received treatment regarding the improper use of substances.

Thereafter, the client continued to receive treatment on his own consistently.
