[Military Attorney Assistance Case] In a Case of Special Assault Against Military Personnel on Duty, the Result Was a Suspended Sentence

While receiving shooting training at a training ground during his military service, the client struck the leg of a junior soldier who was awaiting orders several times with a steel pipe, committing an assault.

The client committed the offense of assaulting a junior soldier who was on duty, while carrying a dangerous object.

In addition, on the grounds that the same junior soldier's performance was poor during another training session, the client struck the junior soldier's face several times with his fist, and as a result faced litigation on the charge of special assault against military personnel on duty.

Daeryun's military attorney argued that the client acknowledged the offense and was reflecting on it.

The client deeply regretted his conduct, stating that as a senior soldier he should have shown consideration for the junior soldier and helped him adjust to military life.

The attorney also pleaded that the client was sincerely reflecting on having used his position as a senior soldier to assault and harass the junior soldier.

The client went to the junior soldier he had assaulted and sincerely apologized.

The junior soldier felt the client's sincerity, accepted the apology, and the two reached an amicable settlement.

Daeryun's military attorney argued that, after the settlement, the junior soldier had expressed that he did not want the client to be punished.
