1. Summary of the assertion
A. Even if the context, circumstances, etc. of the above fake text messages made by the Defendant are considered, it is merely an expression of opinion to the Chairperson, who is the addressee, for a value judgment to request the candidate to ○○, and it is not an expression of opinion about the career or election campaign, etc. of the candidate ○○, and it is considerably insufficient to view that the addressee’s chairperson or the general public as an expression to the extent that the accurate judgment on the candidate ○○○, is reached, and thus, it cannot be deemed that the above fake text messages constitute a false fact under Article 250(2) of the Public Official Election Act.
B. At the time, if this ○○○ had reviewed the above text message received from the Defendant more carefully, it would have been sufficiently aware that the above text message was fabricated, and there is doubt as to whether it could be said that the Defendant had published false facts by using OO, etc. as a tool that he knew of the fact.
2. Determination
A. Relevant legal principles
The term “facts” in the crime of publishing false facts under Article 250(2) of the Public Official Election Act means a report or statement on specific past or current facts, time and space, and the contents of the statement can be proved by evidence, in mind of the legislative intent that guarantees the fairness of election, rather than by simply using the term of the former term, namely, the ordinary meaning and usage of the language, the entire contents of the expression, the context of the expression at issue, the opposite party to the expression, the possibility of proving the contents of the expression, and the identity of the speaker and candidate, etc., should be comprehensively considered (see, e.g., Supreme Court en banc Decision 200Do2818, Sept. 22, 1998; Supreme Court Decision 200Do3281, Feb. 28, 2008; Supreme Court en banc Decision 200Do3278, Feb. 21, 2008; Supreme Court Decision 200Do328, Feb. 16, 20198).
B. In light of the following circumstances acknowledged by the evidence of this case, “the fact that ○○○○○○○ text message was published” is not intentionally key to the content of the instant fake text message itself, but rather the true text message that ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ was sent as the recipient of the instant text message. It would be apparent that this constitutes “the fact that ○○○○○○○○○○○○○” was not a mere expression of opinion based on value judgment or assessment, and the Defendant’s intention also appears to be an unlawful election campaign by using the text message, and it appears that it was difficult for ○○○○○ to have been aware of the facts that the instant text message was sent to the outside of the instant local constituency, and that it was an unlawful fact that ○○○○○○○○○’s act of receiving the instant text message was not a candidate’s own election campaign. Furthermore, even if considering the facts charged, it appears that it was difficult for the Defendant to have been found that the instant text message was an unlawful election campaign.
Reasons for sentencing
[Scope of Punishment] Imprisonment from one month to seven years
[Determination of Punishment] Election Crimes, Publication of False Information, and Type 3 (Publication of False Information for Purpose of Destigious Election)
[Special Aggravation] Special Aggravation: Case of stuffing on the election day
[Scope of Recommendation] One year to Three years (Aggravated Field)
[Determination of Sentence] The crime of this case 2 years of suspended sentence in one year of imprisonment with prison labor was committed by a report to the effect that the defendant fabricated text messages for the purpose of favorable benefit to the candidate of a National Assembly member supported by him/her at the election day, and that the head of the Gu who is a public official carries out an illegal election campaign supporting a specific candidate by sending text messages to another person, etc. by sending them to the press, and thus, the crime of this case was committed not only at the level of suspicion but also at the level of suspicion, but also at the level of direct producing text messages under the name of the head of the Gu. The publication of false facts is widely made through media news and SNS, which could interfere with the rational choice of the candidate of the voters. Accordingly, it seems difficult to eliminate the possibility that the election result had influenced the candidate. The defendant also caused considerable confusion with the continuous statement number in the investigation process, and it seems necessary to punish the defendant in light of the fact that the honor of ○○ and the reputation of 00.
However, it is against the defendant's wrong recognition of his mistake, the defendant seems to have expressed his intention of not to punish the sender of false text messages during the investigation process of this case, there are no records of the same kind, living in custody for three months in this case, and other factors such as the defendant's age, character and conduct, environment, and circumstances after the crime are considered in the arguments of this case. It is so decided as per Disposition in consideration of all the factors of sentencing specified in the arguments of this case.
