A. In a criminal trial of a prosecutor’s assertion of mistake of facts, the recognition of facts should be based on strict evidence with probative value, which leads to a judge to have no reasonable doubt. Thus, in a case where the prosecutor’s proof has failed to sufficiently reach the extent that such conviction would lead to the prosecutor’s above conviction, the determination should be based on the defendant’s interest even if there is suspicion of guilt, such as the defendant’s assertion or defense contradictory or uncomfortable.
(see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Do14487, Apr. 28, 2011). The lower court determined that this part of the facts charged was 8,000 won in the ordinary sale price of land.
