Judgment of the lower court

Daegu High Court Decision 90No799 delivered on February 6, 1991

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

The number of detention days after an appeal shall be included in the calculation of the original sentence.

Reasons

The defendant and defense counsel's grounds of appeal are examined together.

If the evidence admitted by the court of first instance as cited by the court below is examined by comparing the records and records, the defendant can sufficiently recognize the opportunity for the co-defendant to inflict bodily injury on the victim or assault on the victim's body in collaboration with co-defendants including the court below's co-defendants, and it cannot be deemed that there was an error of law of misconception of facts in violation of the rules of evidence without properly examining the facts like the theory of the court below. If the facts are the same, even though the defendant did not support the crime of murder because he conspired to commit murder or did not participate in murder, since he did not have any awareness about the act of murder and assault, and as long as the result of the death was predicted due to the harmful act of the accomplice as possible, the liability for the crime of murder cannot be exempted (see Supreme Court Decision 8Do1046, Sep. 13, 198). It cannot be viewed that there was an error of law by misunderstanding the legal principles like the theory of lawsuit, and there is no ground for all.

Therefore, the defendant's appeal shall be dismissed and part of the detention days after the appeal shall be included in the original sentence. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating judges.
