ix) Judgment

The punishment sentenced by the court below (six months of imprisonment, two years of suspended execution) is too unhued and unfair.

2. Determination

The fact that the amount in arrears is not small, that is not recovered from damage, and that the defendant has a criminal record of a fine of the same kind is disadvantageous to the defendant.

However, there are favorable circumstances for the defendant, such as the fact that the defendant committed a crime and made an effort to recover from damage, and there are other factors favorable to the defendant, such as the defendant's age, character and conduct, environment, motive, means and consequence of the crime, the circumstances after the crime, etc.

Comprehensively taking account of the conditions, the lower court’s punishment seems to be within the reasonable and appropriate scope, and cannot be deemed unreasonable because it seems that it is too unreasonable.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the prosecutor's appeal is without merit and it is so decided as per Disposition by deciding to accept it in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act (Provided, That the application of the law of the court of first instance is clear to "the application of the law of the court of first instance" and "the application of the law of Section 2 of the court of first instance ex officio in accordance with Article 25 (1) of the Rules on Criminal Procedure" in the "Article 40 and Article 50 of the Criminal Act concerning the crime of 1.
