However, the lower court erred by punishing the Defendant as a co-principal. 2) In light of the fact that the Defendant was simply engaged in the crime of this case, and that the gains acquired were insignificant, the lower court’s punishment (two years and six months of imprisonment) is too heavy.

B. In light of the fact that Defendant B’s mistake is against the Defendant B, efforts are made to recover damage, and the benefits acquired by the instant crime are not high, the lower court’s punishment (one year and six months of imprisonment) is too heavy.

2. Determination

A. In relation to Defendant A’s assertion of mistake of facts and misapprehension of legal principles, the conspiracy is not a legally required type of punishment, but a combination of two or more persons to realize a crime through the joint processing of crimes.

As long as such conspiracy was made, even those who did not directly participate in the execution are held liable as a co-principal for the other co-principal’s act.
