Defense Against a Trespass Complaint | The Client Charged in a Trespass Complaint Received a Non-Disposition Decision

The client was charged with attempted special intrusion upon habitation.

Because the client had committed the offense while carrying a cane, that is, a dangerous object, the client faced the risk of more severely aggravated punishment.

🔗Intrusion upon habitation is punishable by imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to 5 million won, and an attempt is likewise punishable.

Because the client also faced charges of special assault and special destruction of property, a heavier sentence was anticipated.

The statutory penalties for special assault and special destruction of property are as follows.

The client is of advanced age and has recently shown symptoms of dementia, attending the hospital and devoting effort to treatment.

The criminal attorney therefore emphasized that the client was unable to think normally due to the effects of old age.

Throughout the client's life, the client has lived diligently without any criminal record.

The attorney also emphasized that the risk of reoffending was low and requested the greatest possible leniency.

This case involved an elderly client who had been the subject of a criminal complaint for intrusion upon habitation filed by his wife, and who came to a criminal defense attorney together with his son to respond to the matter.

Although the case carried a risk that several charges might be recognized and result in a heavy sentence, the client was able to defend against punishment with the help of the attorney.
