2. The crime of this case is an unfavorable circumstance against the Defendant, inasmuch as the Defendant damages a publicity banner, which is added to the outside wall of the candidate for a National Assembly member without any justifiable reason, and the nature of the crime is bad, and the crime that damages propaganda facilities under the Public Official Election Act, such as banner, may impair the elector’s right to know, the fairness of election, and the usefulness of election management, etc.

On the other hand, the fact that the defendant recognized the crime of this case and is against the defendant, the defendant appears to have committed the crime of this case by contingency under the influence of alcohol, and the political intent or purpose to influence the election seems to have never existed, and the defendant is the first offender who has no record of criminal punishment, etc. are favorable to the defendant.

위와 같은 사정들과 그 밖에 피고인의 나이, 성 행, 환경, 범행의 동기, 수단과 결과, 범행 후의 정황 등 변론에 나타난 모든 양형조건 ◈ 법률상 처단형의 범위: 벌금 5만 원 ~ 400만 원 ◈ 이 사건 공직 선거법 위반죄에 대하여는 양형기준이 설정되어 있지 아니함 , 제 1 심과 비교하여 양형의 조건에 변화가 없고 제 1 심의 양형이 재량의 합리적인 범위를 벗어나지 아니하는 경우에는 이를 존중함이 타당한 점( 대법원 2015. 7. 23. 선고 2015도 3260 전원 합의체 판결 참조) 등을 종합해 보면, 원심이 피고인에게 선고한 형이 너무 가벼워서 부당 하다고 할 수 없다.

Therefore, the prosecutor's improper argument of sentencing is without merit.

3. In conclusion, the prosecutor's appeal is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act on the grounds that the appeal is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
