Text

The judgment of the court below is reversed.

A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one year and six months.

The 79 days of detention before the pronouncement of the judgment below shall be included in the above sentence.

Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. misunderstanding of facts or misunderstanding of legal principles

1) The argument that the part of the violation of the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act as stated in the list of crimes (1) 18 to 65 in the holding of the court below is contrary to res judicata

Although the part of the above crime was already convicted, the court below erred by misapprehending the legal principles that the court below found the defendant guilty without acquittal judgment on this part of the facts charged, which affected the conclusion of the judgment, and even if the part of the above crime does not conflict with the res judicata, the court below should render a verdict of innocence to the defendant by falling under the error of law stipulated in Article 16 of the Criminal Act, even though it did

2) misunderstanding of facts or misunderstanding of legal principles as to fraudulent use, such as computers, etc. mentioned in the crime sight table (2) 293 through 300 in the holding of the court below

The part as stated in (2) 293 to 300 of the list of crimes against the actual gold of the victim was revoked by credit card transaction approval and the defendant did not obtain economic benefits, but the court below erred by misunderstanding the facts charged or by misunderstanding the legal principles, which affected the conclusion of the judgment.

3) misunderstanding of the legal principles as to fraudulent use, such as computers, etc. mentioned in the crime sight table (2) 251 to 292 in the holding of the court below

The part of the crime sight table (2) 251 to 292 in the judgment of the court below is identical to that of (2) 59 to 75, 226 through 247, 248 through 250 in the crime sight table (2), and is charged for duplicately. Thus, the court below erred by misapprehending the facts charged or by misapprehending the legal principles, which affected the conclusion of the judgment.

4) The assertion that the confiscation of seized evidence Nos. 1 through 14 is unlawful

As the above seized articles are possessed and used by the defendant in his daily life, they are not subject to confiscation, the court below erred by misunderstanding the fact that the above seized articles were confiscated, or by misunderstanding the legal principles, which affected the conclusion of the judgment.

B. Unreasonable sentencing

In light of the various sentencing conditions of this case, including the fact that the defendant reflects his fault in depth, the sentence imposed by the court below against the defendant is too unreasonable.

2. Determination

(a) Ex officio determination (Changes in indictment);

Before determining on the grounds for appeal by the defendant, the health unit and the prosecutor applied for the amendment of the indictment to delete 251 through 292 out of the list of offenses among the charges in this case, and the subject of the judgment by allowing it was changed by the trial, the judgment of the court below becomes no longer possible (the defendant's ground of appeal No. 1-A). However, since the defendant's ground of appeal alleging mistake of facts or misapprehension of legal principles is still subject to the judgment of the court of this case, the changed indictment is examined on the premise of the changed charges.

B. As to the assertion of mistake of facts or misapprehension of legal principles

1) The argument that the part of the violation of the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, as stated in the list of crimes (1) 18 to 65 in the holding of the court below, is contrary to res judicata or constitutes legal mistake

A) Determination as to the assertion that it goes against the res judicata

According to the evidence duly adopted and examined by the court below, the defendant was indicted for violating the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act prior to the prosecution, and the defendant was dismissed on August 24, 2006, which was sentenced to imprisonment of one year and six months at the Seoul Central District Court which was the appellate court, and the judgment became final and conclusive on August 24, 2006. The defendant's act of transmitting another person's credit card information (hereinafter "the credit card information of this case") stated in the annexed crime list (1) 18 through 65 to the e-mail account and stored another person's e-mail information from October 31, 2004 to March 24, 2005, which is subject to punishment of the above e-mail again, and the defendant's act of keeping another person's e-mail information of this case with 'the former credit card holder's e-mail without the consent of her own e-mail will be deemed to be an unlawful act of keeping another person's e-mail information of this case.

B) Determination on the assertion that the act constitutes a mistake in law

Article 16 of the Criminal Act provides that "the act of misunderstanding that one's own act does not constitute a crime under Acts and subordinate statutes shall not be punishable only when there is a justifiable ground for misunderstanding" rather than a simple legal site, but it is generally a case that constitutes a crime, but if one's own special circumstance is aware that it does not constitute a crime under Acts and subordinate statutes, and there is a justifiable reason for misunderstanding such misunderstanding." The purport is that it shall not be punishable. Whether there is a justifiable reason should be determined depending on whether the act was not aware of the illegality of one's own act as a result of failure to meet his/her intellectual ability even though there was a chance to recognize the illegality of his/her own act if the act was done with his/her own intellectual ability and efforts to avoid it were made (see Supreme Court Decision 2005Do3717, Mar. 24, 2006).

However, according to the evidence duly adopted and examined by the court below, the above argument by the defendant is merely merely a site of law, and it is not a case where the defendant actively knew that it is not a crime that is permitted by the law, and therefore it cannot be deemed an act due to a mistake of law. Thus, this part of the defendant's assertion is groundless.

2) misunderstanding of facts or misunderstanding of legal principles as to fraudulent use, such as computers, etc. mentioned in the crime sight table (2) 293 through 300 in the holding of the court below

A) Summary of this part of the facts charged and the judgment of the court below

The summary of this part of the facts charged is as follows: "the defendant purchased 100,000 won of the mobile product purchase price using the Internet (State) case franchising website at the scamba in the city of the USA around July 10, 2007, using the mobile product purchase price of the above site at KRW 100,000,00 of the mobile product purchase price in the above site without authority, and made the data processing process by entering the information ".............. the information obtained as stated in paragraph (1) of the facts charged in this case and making the data processing process process to obtain an equivalent amount of financial benefits, and as stated in (2) 293 through 300 of the attached list of crimes (2) of the annexed list 293 through 300, and made the data processing process without authority to settle the purchase price, and the court below found the defendant guilty."

B) Determination of the immediate deliberation

The crime of fraud by use of computers, etc. prescribed in Article 347-2 of the Criminal Act shall be established when any benefits have been acquired by making any data processed after inputting a false information or improper order into a computer or any other information processing device, or inputting or altering data without authority.

However, according to the crime sight table (the evidence record 857, 857 pages) attached to the fourth police interrogation protocol against the defendant, the part as stated in (2) 293 through 300 of the crime sight table against the victim's yellow gold was paid in a lump sum using a credit card information on July 10, 2007, but all transaction was revoked by the defendant on August 25 through August 28, 2007. Thus, the defendant tried to acquire profits by entering an unlawful order into a computer or any other information processing device, and did not intend to acquire profits. Thus, this part of the facts charged is found only to be guilty, and it constitutes a case where there is no proof of a crime regarding the attempted use of computer or any other fraudulent act. However, the court below erred by misapprehending the facts or by misapprehending the legal principles, which affected the conclusion of the judgment, and the defendant's assertion that points out this error has merit.

3) The assertion that the confiscation of seized evidence Nos. 1 through 14 is unlawful

Article 48 (1) of the Criminal Code provides that articles provided or intended to be provided to a criminal act, articles produced or acquired by a criminal act, and articles acquired in return for such articles may be confiscated.

However, according to the records of seizure of the above seized articles (Evidence No. 593, 594 pages), the police officer may seize credit cards, cell phoness, locks, etc. which the defendant was in possession of at least 19:40 on August 27, 2007 when the defendant was arrested and detained. However, there is no evidence to acknowledge that the above seized articles are articles provided or intended to be provided by the defendant for the criminal act of this case or articles produced or acquired thereby. Thus, the above seized articles cannot be confiscated. However, the court below erred by misapprehending the facts or by misapprehending the legal principles, thereby adversely affecting the conclusion of the judgment. The defendant's assertion pointing this out is with merit.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the defendant's appeal is without merit, and the judgment of the court below is without merit, and the decision of the court below is reversed in accordance with Article 364 (2) and (6) of the Criminal Procedure Act without further proceeding to decide on the defendant's allegation of unfair sentencing. It is again decided as follows.
