Judgment of the lower court

Government Branch of Seoul District Court (70 Gohap2783, 71 Gohap96, 97, 943)

Text

We reverse the original judgment.

A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for one year.

One hundred days out of the detention days prior to the declaration of the original judgment shall be included in the above sentence.

Of the facts charged, not guilty of death resulting from occupational abortion

Reasons

The gist of the grounds for appeal by the defendant's defense counsel is that the defendant neglected the duty to keep records identical to the 1st fact at the original time, but does not neglect the duty of care as stated in the other decision. In addition, this case is unfair because the defendant committed a serious mistake that the defendant was punished by imprisonment with prison labor for one year and suspension of qualification for one year on the grounds that the court below erred in the judgment of the court below, and that the defendant committed an unlawful act that significantly misleads the defendant in the determination of punishment, and the summary of the prosecutor's appeal is that the sentencing of the court below against the defendant is too unreasonable.

Therefore, according to the reasoning of the judgment of the court below, among the grounds for appeal by the defendant's defense counsel, the court below accepted the evidences of the city and recognized the fact that the defendant committed the crime of occupational abortion by causing the death of the victim by admitting the fact that the defendant committed the crime of occupational abortion by causing the death of the victim in the course of performing the abortion operation on the part of the defendant's management (name 1 omitted) in the Dongducheon-do's (hereinafter referred to as "site") located in Dongbcheon-do's Dong-do's Dong-do's Dong-do's 14 August 14, 1971.

However, the defendant denied the above facts of crime by the police, and the defendant tried to confirm that the fetus was in the state of the situation on the same day, and instructed non-indicted 1, who is an early man, to take the same measures, and there is only change in the patient's situation. The defendant added the site to the patient at the time or ordered non-indicted 1 to do so like the original time. However, there is no probability to acknowledge it in the record (However, according to the court below or investigation agency's statement by the witness of the court below or the court below, it is difficult to find that there was no other error in the court below's duty of care because the non-indicted 3, who is missing at the time, added "the site" to the defendant, and did not perform a so on the part of the mother hospital, and it is difficult to find that the defendant did not have any other duty of care as a part of the investigation agency's statement on the death report prepared by the non-indicted 4 or the statement made by the investigation agency of the non-indicted 3 as part of the above fact.

Therefore, party members are reversed in accordance with the original judgment under Article 364(6) of the Criminal Procedure Act and judged again as follows.
