Assistance of the Jinju Law Office | No Prosecution on a charge of assault for a client who visited the Jinju Law Office

This is the story of a client who held a consultation with a Jinju attorney at the Jinju Law Office.

The client and the victim were husband and wife.

On the day of the incident, the victim, without any reason, demanded a divorce and said she would leave the house.

The client, who found this utterly absurd, strongly refused, saying that there could be no divorce.

The victim then assaulted the client, including by kicking him in the stomach.

In the end, the client accused the victim of 🔗assault, and the victim responded with a counter-accusation.

Feeling that this was unfair, the client came to the Jinju Law Office and requested a legal consultation from a Jinju attorney, stating that he had never committed assault.

Criminal Act Article 257 (Infliction of Bodily Injury, Bodily Injury to a Lineal Ascendant)

Criminal Act Article 260 (Assault, Assault against a Lineal Ascendant)

On the contrary, the client had been habitually assaulted by the victim in this case.

Accordingly, the Jinju Law Office argued that the client had been diagnosed with bodily injury requiring three weeks of treatment, with conditions such as a shoulder contusion and a contusion of the back of the head.

The client emphasized that he was receiving hospital treatment as a result of this incident.

He also argued that he was concurrently undergoing counseling treatment in psychiatry, and that he was not the perpetrator but the victim in this case.

The client filed a criminal accusation against the victim.

In response, the victim, who was investigated, argued that she had filed the accusation in this case in order to create a situation favorable to herself.
