Will submitting a letter of reflection prevent obstruction of justice punishment?

Hello. This is Daeryun Law Firm (LLC).

Even if you cannot remember, the fact that you have already committed violent words and actions against a police officer is established.

Then, you must think about what kind of response strategy to use to avoid obstruction of justice punishment.

If you are currently under suspicion of assaulting a public official and causing injury, under Article 136 of the Criminal Act, you may be subject to imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 10 million won, so you must consider with an attorney before the police investigation what strategy to use to respond.

Obstruction of justice punishment is a more serious matter than thought, but most clients respond complacently saying they were intoxicated. However, if the degree of assault is severe or injury was caused, aggravated punishment is possible.

In addition, the more the charges become an established fact, the most important sentencing conditions that investigative agencies look at are as follows.

How much remorseful attitude you have toward the charges, what efforts you made to recover the victim's damage, and whether you made efforts not to repeat the offense.

Of course, as you mentioned, you can submit a letter of reflection in which you reflect on your actions and a plea letter from people around you to plead for leniency, but please be aware that it is difficult to receive leniency just by submitting a letter of reflection.
