상해치사

Text

All appeals filed by the defendant and prosecutor are dismissed.

Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. Defendant 1) In the course of misunderstanding of facts and misunderstanding of legal principles, Defendant 1 did not clearly undergo criminal identification procedures by stating that male and female witnesses did not have any verification process as to whether the Defendant was the Defendant and the victim, and the Defendant cannot be deemed to have proved that there was no reasonable doubt as to the part of the Defendant’s assaulting the victim. However, the lower court erred by misapprehending the legal doctrine, thereby convicting the Defendant of the charge of assaulting as an ancillary charge. 2) The sentence (two years of imprisonment with labor for eight months) imposed by the lower court on the Defendant

B. It is clear that the Defendant committed the assault against the victim, and there was no room for involvement in the cause of death other than the Defendant’s assault until the victim’s death, and immediately after the assault, the victim’s face, etc. was not found. Thus, the lower court found the Defendant not guilty of the death resulting in bodily injury, which is the primary charge, by misunderstanding the facts.
