Gwangju District Court Decision 1987No907 Decided November 6, 1987

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

1. As to fraud;

Comprehensively taking account of the enjoyion cited by the judgment of the court of first instance as cited by the court below, it is sufficient to recognize the criminal facts of the defendant, and there is no error of law by misunderstanding the facts against the rules of evidence such as the theory

In order to establish a joint principal offender, where all accomplices do not necessarily need to participate in the act of committing a crime, and at least there is an intention to jointly process a crime between accomplices, namely, where there is contact with one another, and part of the accomplices have committed a crime, all the accomplices have committed a crime as a joint principal offender, and a person who does not share the act of committing a crime directly shall be held liable as a joint principal offender (see Supreme Court Decision 83Do1942, Oct. 11, 1983, etc.).

In the same purport, the court below is just in finding the facts of the defendant's conspiracy and there is no error of law such as the theory of lawsuit.

2. As to the attempted fraud:

The crime of attempted fraud is sufficient if there is a fact that the other party uses a deceitful means to mislead the other party in order to receive property or to acquire property benefits, and if the other party fails to achieve the purpose by failing to omit it in mistake, it constitutes the crime of attempted fraud.

The court below's decision is justified in imposing the so-called "the crime of attempted fraud" to the victim who had already acquired the money prior to the fraud, and there is no violation of the rules of evidence, such as the theory of lawsuit, or there is no violation of the law of misunderstanding the legal principles.

3. As to the violation of the Punishment of Violences, etc. Act and insult

In full view of the evidence cited by the court of first instance as cited by the court below, it is sufficient to recognize the criminal facts of the defendant as stated in its judgment, and there is no error in violation of the rules of evidence

4. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
