The defendant's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. The main point of the grounds for appeal is that the lower court’s punishment (an amount of KRW 500,000) is too unreasonable.
2. The fact that the Defendant recognized the instant crime as an aged person, and there is no record of criminal punishment as well as the punishment of a fine once around 1976, and that the Defendant appears to have led to an insulting and contingent crime by hearing the insulting speech from the injured person, etc. is a favorable sentencing condition for the Defendant.
However, in full view of the fact that the defendant did not reach an agreement with the victim up to the time of the trial, the fact that the court below seems to have determined the punishment by reducing the fine amount (10 million won) of the summary order by taking into account the conditions of sentencing favorable to the defendant, and other circumstances that are conditions for the sentencing specified in the instant case, such as the defendant's age, sex, environment, family relationship, and circumstances after the crime, the court below's punishment is too unreasonable, and thus, the above unfair argument of the defendant and his defense counsel do not accept.
3. In conclusion, the defendant's appeal is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act on the grounds that the defendant's appeal is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
