Judgment of the lower court
Busan District Court Decision 80No4030 delivered on December 5, 1980
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The defendant's defense counsel's grounds of appeal are examined.
In comparison with the original judgment, the judgment of the first instance court has been maintained that the original judgment was false in violation of the objective facts of the non-party's illegality stated in the medical report concerning the non-party who was submitted by the defendant to the head of the Busan District Court. The establishment of the crime of false accusation is sufficient by reporting the fact that is not true with the intention of having another person be subject to criminal or disciplinary action, and it does not require conviction that the reported fact is false (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 4287Do765, Mar. 22, 1955; 4293Do749, Oct. 26, 1961; 63Do144, Jul. 25, 1963; 66Do1293, Nov. 22, 196; 78Do1896, Dec. 11, 1979).
All arguments are groundless.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
