2. Determination

A. 1) The lower court’s determination on the assertion of misunderstanding the facts or misapprehension of the legal doctrine is 1). The lower court, in light of the overall contents of the instant bulletin and the specific method of expression, etc., posted false comments with the intent of slandering the Defendant in light of the following: (a) the Standing Auditor J of the Representative Meeting of Residents of the instant apartment; (b) the Defendant posted an article to criticize the Defendant’s act while leaving the victim F, the president of the representative meeting of occupants of the apartment;

On the ground that it is reasonable to view the facts charged of this case as guilty.

2) The intention of the crime is determined by the deliberation of the political party. Since the crime includes not only the conclusive intention but also the so-called dolutional intention, which is the intention to recognize the occurrence of the result, the crime of defamation by the statement of false facts is also established by the willful negligence.

Meanwhile, “the purpose of slandering a person” as prescribed by Article 70(2) of the Act on Promotion of Use of Information and Communications Network and Information Protection, Etc. refers to the content and nature of the relevant publicly alleged fact, as it requires the intention or purpose of a harming a person.
