Tongyeong Criminal Attorney | Client Facing Assault Charge Concludes Case With a Suspension of Sentencing

The client requested assistance, explaining that he was accused of assault.

The account that the attorney reviewed was as follows.

The client explained that an argument with a friend led to a misunderstanding, and their voices grew louder.

The argument escalated into a physical altercation, and the client, unable to control his anger, struck the victim about the face and shoulder roughly 20 times, committing assault.

The client's friend then reported the client for assault, which is how this case arose.

The client had been the subject of a criminal complaint for assault and faced the risk of criminal punishment.

🔗Assault is committed when a person inflicts violence upon the body of another.

If the charge of assault is established, the offender may be punished under the Criminal Act by imprisonment of up to two years, a fine of up to 5 million won, detention, or a minor fine.

The attorney presented the defense for the client as follows.

After hearing the attorney's arguments, the court issued a judgment of suspension of sentencing for the client.

A suspension of sentencing is a judgment in which guilt is recognized but the imposition of the sentence is suspended, and if no further problems arise for two years, the sentence itself is set aside.

In this case, the client had faced the likely prospect of an actual custodial sentence for assault, but because the attorney prepared a strategy and responded accordingly, the client was able to receive a suspension of sentencing.
