Summary of Evidence

1. Defendant's legal statement;

1. Previous records of judgment: Application of criminal history records, inquiry reports (suspects' previous records and confirmations) and Acts and subordinate statutes;

However, even though the defendant had been punished several times due to drinking driving (two times of fine and one time of suspended sentence of imprisonment), he again committed the crime of driving under the influence of alcohol. It seems that the defendant seems to have significantly lacking compliance spirit and safety awareness about traffic offense, and that there is a high possibility of criticism as well as high risk of recidivism.

Furthermore, it is necessary to strictly punish the defendant in order to protect the general public who is exposed to the danger of drinking driving repeated without awareness of any particular crime.

The punishment as ordered shall be determined in consideration of all the sentencing factors shown in the arguments in this case, such as the circumstances mentioned above, the distance of driving, the degree of blood alcohol level at the time, the age, character and conduct, environment, and family relationship of the defendant.
