Wonju Attorney's Office Assistance | A Client Charged with Assault Resulting in Injury and Other Offenses Defends Against Imprisonment to Obtain a Suspended Sentence

The account of the client who sought out the attorney for assistance is as follows.

The client got into an argument with his girlfriend, the victim, in an apartment parking lot.

At first the two were only arguing, but as his girlfriend continued to refuse to accept his views, the client gradually grew angry.

Unable to contain his anger, the client ultimately had his girlfriend get out of the car, then grabbed her by the hair and knocked her down, causing bruising to her leg.

On top of this, he caused her to hit the area of her ear against the vehicle, inflicting a contusion that required approximately two weeks of treatment.

Booked on multiple charges, including assault resulting in injury, the client faced the risk of severe punishment and decided to seek assistance from an attorney.

The client sought out the attorney in order to handle the case together with a law firm holding a substantial body of case-handling experience in various 🔗assault and bodily injury matters and to succeed in defending against punishment.

Precedent Recognizing Assault Resulting in Death or Injury

Where, in order to assault a victim who had hidden in a restroom, defendant A guarded the restroom while defendant B broke down the door by striking it with billiard equipment, and the victim, feeling threatened, tried to hide outside the restroom window but lost his footing and fell to his death, the crime of assault resulting in death is established as a joint principal offense (90Do1786).

Precedent Denying Assault Resulting in Death or Injury

If a victim who was arguing stepped backward, tripped over an iron stand, and fell, then even if it could have been foreseen that he might trip over an obstacle and fall, it would be difficult to foresee that he would, in falling to that extent, strike his head on the ground and die of a skull fracture, so liability for the crime of assault resulting in death cannot be imposed (25. 90Do1596).

At the time of the assault, the client's emotions became heated during the argument with the victim, but he had no intent whatsoever to cause injury.

He acted aggressively because he could not contain a momentary surge of anger, but he did not anticipate that the result would lead to injury.

The client emphasized that he acknowledged his conduct was wrong and was deeply remorseful for the harm he had caused the victim.

Immediately after the incident, the client realized his wrongdoing, apologized to the victim, and voluntarily confessed the matter to the police.

He is deeply remorseful that he failed to control a momentary emotion and caused the victim an indelible wound.

The client did his utmost to restore his relationship with the victim, and as a result, an amicable settlement was reached.

The attorney emphasized that the victim had expressed an intention not to seek punishment of the client.

The client had no record of any prior criminal punishment before this incident occurred.

The client had ordinarily lived a diligent life, but at the time of the incident, the client was unable to contain anger and committed the offense impulsively.

The client emphasized a firm resolve to take this case as a lesson and never to commit the same wrong again.
