The defendant's appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

1. The fact that the defendant's judgment on the grounds for appeal (the grounds for appeal) recognizes the crime of this case in the trial of the party, the fact that the judgment of conviction was finalized against C in the theft case against C (Cheongju District Court 2013DaMa789) and the defendant does not seem to have received economic or other compensation for perjury, and the fact that there is no record of punishment for the same kind of crime, etc. can be considered favorably for the defendant.

However, in light of the circumstances such as the fact that the nature of the crime is not good by attending as a witness of the larceny case against C and making a false testimony actively consistent with C’s lawsuit, and that perjury requires the proper exercise of judgment authority, which is the judicial action of the State, and the crime that obstructs the discovery of substantial truth, and the punishment corresponding thereto is required. Considering the various sentencing conditions indicated in the record, such as the Defendant’s age, character and behavior, the background of the crime, and the circumstances after the crime, it cannot be deemed that the lower court’s punishment (one million won) is too unreasonable.

2. In conclusion, the defendant's appeal is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act since it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
