The judgment of the court below is reversed.

Defendant shall be punished by a fine of KRW 1,000,000.

The above fine shall not be paid by the defendant.

Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. At the time of each of the instant crimes, the Defendant had weak ability to discern things or make decisions due to mental fissionable diseases.

B. The punishment of the first instance of unfair sentencing (2 million won of fine) is too unreasonable.

Therefore, the defendant's argument of mental disability is justified.

On the other hand, in case where there is doubt about mental disorder, a state appointed defense counsel shall be appointed. However, unlike the appellate court, the first instance court did not submit objective data, such as medical records, to recognize the mental illness of the defendant, and the defendant was also unable to observe the status of the defendant directly due to his/her failure to appear, and it seems difficult for the first instance court to suspect the mental disorder of the defendant.
