A Yongsan Criminal Defense Attorney's Defense Case | Through the Assistance of a Yongsan Criminal Defense Attorney, the Client Charged With Larceny Received a No-Referral Decision

This is the story of a client who consulted with a Yongsan criminal attorney.

On the day of the incident, the client was exercising at the gym inside an apartment complex.

While leaving after the workout, the client found an earring in the hallway.

Intending to return it to its owner, the client picked up the earring and then hurried to a scheduled appointment.

As a result, the client briefly forgot about having picked up the earring.

Only the next day did the client remember finding the earring and planned to report the found item at the nearest police box.

However, the client had already been reported on a charge of larceny, and while facing a police investigation, the client requested assistance from a criminal attorney at the Yongsan office.

■ Article 329 (Larceny / Theft)

A person who steals another's property shall be punished by imprisonment with labor for not more than 6 years or a fine not exceeding 10 million won.

■ Article 331 (Special (Aggravated) Theft)

(1) A person who, at night, damages a door, a wall, or any other part of a structure and intrudes into a place referred to in Article 330 to steal another's property shall be punished by imprisonment with labor for not less than 1 year and not more than 10 years.

(2) A person who carries a deadly weapon or, in concert with 2 or more persons, steals another's property shall also be punished as in paragraph (1).

■ Article 332 (Habitual Offenders)

A person who habitually commits a crime under Articles 329 through 331-2 shall have the punishment prescribed for that crime increased by up to one half.

While leaving after a workout, the client found an earring lying in the hallway and, thinking it should be returned to its owner, picked it up.

The Yongsan criminal defense attorney emphasized that it was difficult to find any intent to commit theft in the client's conduct.

The client emphasized that he had merely forgotten for a moment, because he was busy, that he had picked up the earrings, and that he had intended to hand them over to the police station the next day.

The client had been an exemplary citizen who spent a lifetime serving the local community and practicing generosity in good faith.

The client therefore emphasized that, as a person who serves as a model to others, the client is not someone who would commit theft.

This is a case in which a client who was reported for larceny received a no-referral decision and successfully avoided punishment with the assistance of a Yongsan criminal attorney.
