Ansan Criminal Attorney Defense Case | A Suspended Sentence for a Client Charged With Special Bodily Injury and Other Offenses Through the Assistance of an Ansan Criminal Attorney

This is the account of a client who requested assistance from the Ansan criminal attorney.

The client was heading to a bar located in Anyang to attend a ski club gathering.

While drinking, a minor dispute arose with the victim, and the victim pushed the client's shoulder.

Angered, the client picked up a stone in front of the bar and struck the victim on the head with it.

As a result, the victim sustained an injury requiring approximately three weeks of treatment and reported the client to the police.

Consequently, the client faced criminal punishment on charges of 🔗assault and special (aggravated) bodily injury and entrusted the criminal case to the Ansan criminal attorney.

■ Assault (Article 260)

(1) A person who inflicts assault upon the body of another shall be subject to imprisonment for up to two years, a fine of up to five million won, detention, or a minor fine.

(2) Where a person commits the offense under paragraph (1) against his or her own or his or her spouse's lineal ascendant, the person shall be subject to imprisonment for up to five years or a fine of up to seven million won.

(3) The offenses under paragraphs (1) and (2) may not be prosecuted against the expressed will of the victim.

■ Special (Aggravated) Bodily Injury (Article 258-2)

(1) Where a person commits the offense under Article 257 (1) or (2) by displaying the collective power of a group or a multitude or by carrying a dangerous object, the person shall be subject to imprisonment for not less than one year and not more than ten years.

(2) Where a person commits the offense under Article 258 by displaying the collective power of a group or a multitude or by carrying a dangerous object, the person shall be subject to imprisonment for not less than two years and not more than twenty years.

(3) An attempt to commit the offense under paragraph (1) shall be punished.

At the time of the incident, the client was heavily intoxicated and had lost the capacity for sound judgment.

Accordingly, the attorney emphasized that, while in an excessively intoxicated state on the day of the incident, the client became momentarily agitated when the victim pushed and knocked the client down, and thereby committed the offense in this case.

The client has been reflecting on his drinking habits in light of this incident.

The attorney emphasized that the client had enrolled in an abstinence program in order to refrain from excessive drinking going forward.

After the incident, the client visited the victim, apologized, and delivered a settlement payment.

The attorney emphasized that the victim, in turn, prepared and submitted a statement expressing that the victim did not wish for the client to be punished.

The client who came to the Ansan criminal attorney was at risk of receiving an actual custodial sentence on multiple charges, but with the prompt assistance of the Ansan criminal attorney, the client received a suspended sentence and successfully defended the criminal case.
