Anyang Obstruction of Official Duties Attorney Assistance | Anyang Attorney Who Had the Appeal Dismissed and Maintained the Fine for Obstruction of Official Duties

The charge against the client was obstruction of official duties.

This offense is committed when a person obstructs official duties by assaulting or intimidating a public official who is lawfully performing those duties.

At this point, the offense is established and the person may be punished even if the specific result of actually obstructing the official duties does not occur.

🔗Obstruction of official duties is punishable under the Criminal Act by imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of up to 10 million won.

Obstruction of official duties is increasingly being dealt with severely, to the extent that even first-time offenders are not uncommonly given a custodial sentence, so it may be said that responding actively from the early stages of the case is important.

The Anyang attorney emphasized that the sentence imposed by the court below for the client's obstruction of official duties could not be regarded as unduly light in light of the seriousness of the offense, and that it was already a sufficient punishment.

The attorney argued that, since the incident, the client had deeply felt remorse for his wrongdoing and was actively making efforts to prevent reoffending.

The attorney also fully explained that, at the time of the incident, the client had been suffering psychological distress, that this situation had led to the drinking and assault, and that the offense had been spontaneous.

The client's assault amounted to only a very minor degree of force, and it did not cause serious injury to the officer.

Accordingly, the Anyang attorney argued that the sentence the client received at the court below was an appropriate punishment in light of the seriousness of the offense.

The above case was one in which the client, who had assaulted a police officer while intoxicated, received a fine for obstruction of official duties but faced the prosecutor's appeal, and requested legal assistance from the Anyang attorney.
