[Criminal Complaint Attorney Retention Case] Case Referred to the Prosecutors' Office with the Support of a Criminal Complaint Attorney

The client was walking along a street with heavy foot traffic, together with a companion. During that time, the client got into a dispute with some members of a group of strangers.

On the street where many passersby were walking, the client was subjected to unspeakably foul verbal abuse from the other party.

The client and the companion tried to simply walk past, but the members of the other group kept following and continued to hurl severe verbal abuse.

Unable to tolerate it, the client and the companion reported the matter to the police on the spot and looked into retaining a criminal complaint attorney.

Criminal Act Article 311 (Insult)

A person who publicly insults another shall be punished by imprisonment or imprisonment without labor for not more than one year, or a fine not exceeding two million won.

Supreme Court 2016 precedents, etc.

The insult referred to in the crime of insult means expressing an abstract judgment or a contemptuous sentiment that is capable of lowering a person's social standing, without stating any fact.

Nor is it required that the victim's external reputation be actually harmed, or that a concrete and real danger of harm arise.

Supreme Court 2016 precedents, etc.

The Supreme Court has held, in a case where a person loudly hurled verbal abuse at police officers who responded to a 112 emergency call, that the person committed an act of insult that posed a danger of lowering the assessment of the individual police officer's personal dignity by directing abuse containing contemptuous expressions at the individual officer.

The first form of support the client received after retaining the criminal complaint attorney was identifying the other party.

Because filing a complaint against an unidentified party takes a long time to investigate, it was important to identify the other party and then file the complaint.

To identify the other party, Daeryun filed a request for preservation of CCTV evidence, ascertained the other party's appearance and personal information, and succeeded in identifying the other party in the client's case.

The second form of support the client received after retaining the criminal complaint attorney was the attorney accompanying the client to the complainant's questioning.

When the client received contact from the investigator for the complainant's questioning, the attorney confirmed the assigned detective and coordinated the questioning schedule on the client's behalf,

prepared for the questions expected from the investigative agency, attended together and underwent the questioning.

The client was able to undergo the questioning calmly and, with the attorney's assistance, was able to give a consistent statement.
