Main Issues

The case holding that since the indictment written in the facts charged that the defendant habitually stolen another's property four times thereafter, including intrusion upon the "A" house, stolen one radio device, and then stolen another's property, the indictment is invalid on the grounds that the specific facts constituting the crime are not specified.

Reasons

The grounds for appeal by the defense counsel

According to Article 289(4) of the Military Court-Martial Act, entry in the facts charged shall be made by specifying the time, date, place, and method of the crime so that the facts can be specified. Therefore, the indictment without stating the specific facts of the crime is invalid.

Upon review of the record, the judgment of the ordinary law council of the first instance supported by the court below accepted the facts charged and recognized the single criminal facts of "the defendant, at around December 28, 1970, committed habitually theft of another person's property four times thereafter, including theft of an amount equivalent to KRW 7,500 from the intrusion radio price at the former Maok-gun (the third administrative district omitted), the former Maok-gun (the third administrative district omitted), the non-indicted, and then stolen another person's property." However, since the part of the defendant's theft of another person's property by intrusion upon the house of the non-indicted, which was 4 times thereafter, was stated only in the larceny facts that the defendant's possession of the property was stolen between the two sides and the right of the non-indicted, it did not contain any concrete criminal facts that constituted only the abstract criminal elements, and there is no error of law by accepting the indictment as it is invalid in accordance with the above reasoning.

Therefore, the judgment of the court below is not reversed because there is a violation of law that affected the judgment of the court below, and it is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating judges.
