Judgment on the argument of the defendant and defense counsel

The defendant and his defense counsel asserts that the degree of the defendant's act does not reach intimidation.

The crime of conflict is established by forming a defective will of the other party as a means of conflict and by causing the other party to conduct an act of property disposal. In this case, intimidation as a means of conflict refers to the threat of harm and injury likely to be drinking to the extent that it limits the freedom of decision-making or interferes with the freedom of decision-making. Although the notice of harm and injury is used as a means of legitimate realization, if the means and method of realizing the right exceed the extent permitted by social norms, it shall be deemed that the crime of conflict was commenced. Here, whether the act exceeds the extent and scope specifically permitted by social norms should be determined by comprehensively taking into account the subjective and objective aspects of the act, namely, the purpose and method selected.

As to the instant case, the following circumstances acknowledged by the evidence, namely, (i) Defendant continued to repeat these acts by continuously posting a banner on three occasions each time after having installed a banner, such as the statement of the fact that the victim was constructed to sell in lots, and (ii) the aforementioned banner was posted on the construction site, and the victim’s refusal to sell in lots and return to the buyer, etc. due to the fact that the above banner was posted on the construction site, were interfered with the business of the victim. Based on these circumstances, it is reasonable to see that the victim filed an application with the court for prohibition of interference with business with the Defendant, and (iii) only after the Defendant posted the banner, the victim had expressed his intention not to remove the banner before the victim’s village development fund, and (iv) the Defendant’s act of posting the banner to the extent that it was likely to interfere with the victim’s decision-making or decision-making by taking into account the following circumstances:

Therefore, the defendant and his defense counsel cannot be accepted.

○ favorable circumstances: The fact that there is no particular criminal record and the fact that there is an act identical to the fact of crime that there is no personal interest but for the development of the entire community.

It is so decided as per Disposition for the above reasons.
