Suwon Law Office Case | Client Charged With Destruction of Property, Defense Against Suspension of Indictment

The client who consulted the Suwon law office was involved in a charge of destruction of property and, seeking to defend against punishment through the office's assistance, consulted a Suwon attorney and requested a thorough consultation.

1. The Client Who Consulted the Suwon Law Office

Suwon Law Office


The client who consulted the Suwon law office sought to obtain a suspension of indictment through the office's assistance, which is supported by extensive data on criminal case handling, and consulted a Suwon attorney.

How the Client Came to Consult the Suwon Law Office

The account of the client who requested help from a Suwon attorney is as follows.

After finishing dinner at a restaurant, the client headed to the parking lot to return home.

After getting into the vehicle and heading toward the parking payment machine, the client ended up staying in the parking lot due to a sudden malfunction of the payment machine.

Angered by this, the client struck the parking payment machine with a fist and committed 🔗the crime of destruction of property, and not long afterward received a request to appear from the police.

The client sent a settlement payment to the building owner to resolve the matter, but the criminal issue still remained, so the client decided to seek advice from an attorney.

Seeking to obtain a suspension of indictment through the assistance of an attorney with experience handling various criminal cases, the client consulted a Suwon attorney.

2. Laws Related to the Case as Explained by the Suwon Law Office

The crime of destruction of property refers to the offense of damaging or concealing another person's property, documents, or special media records such as electromagnetic records, or otherwise impairing their utility.

Here, “impairing the utility” of an object means creating a state in which the object cannot be used for its original purpose, whether permanently or temporarily, due to damage or concealment.

If a charge of destruction of property is recognized, a person may be sentenced to imprisonment of up to three years or a fine of up to 7 million won.

Related Precedent

Crops cultivated on one's own land by another person without consent (without authority) also belong to that other person, so rendering those crops unusable constitutes the crime of destruction of property (Supreme Court judgments of Feb. 18, 1969, and Mar. 10, 1970)

3. The Suwon Law Office's Assistance

To succeed in the defense against punishment, the Suwon attorney carefully reviewed the relevant precedents and established a strategy.

The attorney emphasized the following points and earnestly pleaded for leniency for the client.

Suwon Law Office Argument ① A Spontaneous Offense

The client is a first-time offender with no criminal record at all and has shown deep remorse for this case.

At the time of the incident, the client stayed in the parking lot for about an hour due to the malfunction of the parking payment machine.

The attorney emphasized that, because the parking payment was not processed and a call to the manager could not be connected, the angered client committed this offense spontaneously.

Suwon Law Office Argument ② Settlement With the Victim

Upon being contacted by the victim, the client immediately sent a substantial settlement payment to the victim's side.

When told that an additional criminal settlement was needed, the client paid a further sum and reached an amicable settlement.

The attorney emphasized that the victim's side also did not wish for the client to be punished.

Suwon Law Office Argument ③ Low Risk of Reoffending

Through this case, the client repents of their foolish conduct and is deeply resolved never to commit such an offense again.

The attorney emphasized that the client is a first-time offender and is making continuous efforts to prevent reoffending, so the risk of reoffending is low.

4. The Prosecution's Decision on the Suwon Law Office's Arguments

The prosecution accepted the Suwon law office's arguments and ultimately issued a decision of “suspension of indictment.”

The client conveyed deep thanks to the Suwon attorney.
