Through a consultation with a Gunsan attorney, Daeryun submitted as evidence an audio recording capturing the circumstances in which the assailants broke into the client's home and inflicted assault and bodily injury.

The client and the assailants had been workplace colleagues, but their relationship had deteriorated following a series of incidents.

Afterward, the assailants broke into the client's home and threatened him, saying, ‘If you do not want to die, hand over your money; if you do not give us the money, we will kill you or ruin your life.’

The assailants struck the client's head with a soju bottle that was in the home and threatened him while brandishing a kitchen knife.

As a result of this incident, the client's forehead was lacerated and he had to undergo treatment, including four stitches.

Through a consultation with a Gunsan attorney, Daeryun emphasized that, at the time of the incident, the client was suffering from extreme fear due to the assailants' threats and assault and was in a state in which he was incapable of resistance.

Even after the police arrived, the client felt extreme terror to the point of being incapable of resistance because of the assailants' acts, and he was unable to protest against the assailants' one-sided assault and demands for money.

Through a consultation with a Gunsan attorney, Daeryun pointed out that the assailants, acting jointly to obtain financial gain, assaulted and threatened the client and placed him in a state in which he was incapable of resistance, and that their culpability was very grave.
