(Consolidated) Judgment

Imposition of Judgment

March 12, 2020

Text

The judgment below is reversed, and the case is remanded to the Seoul Western District Court.

Reasons

1. Judgment on the grounds of appeal

According to the records, the Defendant appealed from each judgment of the first instance on the grounds of appeal, and asserted a misunderstanding of the legal principles as to the reinforcement of confessions as well as the principle of unfair sentencing, and then withdrawn the remaining grounds for appeal other than unfair sentencing during the third trial of the lower court. In such a case, the lower court’s assertion that the lower court erred in the rules of reinforcement of confessions and in misunderstanding of the legal principles is not a legitimate ground for appeal. Furthermore, even in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not

2. Ex officio determination

The grounds for the judgment of conviction include the facts constituting an offense, the summary of evidence and the application of Acts and subordinate statutes (Article 323(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act), and where any one of them is omitted in whole in the grounds for the judgment while rendering a judgment of conviction, it constitutes grounds for reversal as against the law of the court below which affected the judgment under Article 383 subparag. 1 of the Criminal Procedure Act (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 2009Do3505, Jun. 25, 2009; 2010Do9151, Oct. 14, 2010).

According to the reasoning of the judgment of the court below, the court below erred by violating Article 383 subparagraph 1 of the Criminal Procedure Act, since the court below erred by misapprehending the provisions of Article 383 subparagraph 1 of the Criminal Procedure Act, since all of the judgment of the court of first instance is reversed ex officio and the judgment of conviction on the whole of the facts charged of this case was stated only in the application of the statutes, and the summary of facts

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the judgment below is reversed, and the case is remanded to the court below for further proceedings consistent with this Opinion. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
