Division of Non-Offense

1. The gist of Defendant 1’s accusation and the facts charged against Defendant 2

A. On May 6, 2004, at around 03:00 on May 6, 2004, Defendant 1 did not compel Nonindicted Party 1 to prepare a 15 million won loan certificate from the Seo-gu, Seo-gu, Seo-gu, Gwangju to the Defendant, and even though there was no fact that Nonindicted Party 1 detained the Defendant in the above apartment from around 03:00 on the same day to 12:00 on the same day, Defendant 1 submitted to the above Nonindicted Party 1 a penal complaint for the purpose of having the Defendant punished. In addition, on May 11, 2004, on May 5, 2004 (the name of Nonindicted Party 1’s temporary name omitted): Non-Indicted Party 1’s main name, Non-Indicted Party 1’s name, and Non-Indicted Party 1’s name, who did not take advantage of his/her father and his/her father’s mother, submitted to the above police station for punishment for damages including a one million won loan certificate.

B. On September 9, 2004, Defendant 2 appeared at the court of Gwangju-dong District Court 402, Gwangju-dong, Gwangju-dong, Gwangju-dong, as a witness, and testified after taking an oath against Defendant 1 (name omitted of Nonparty 1) of the above court, such as the abduction of minors, etc., Defendant 2 made a false statement against the prosecutor's "I need to use a loan certificate on the new wall and use a loan certificate in spite of the fact that Defendant 1 does not prevent him from forcing him to use the loan certificate or getting out of the court," and "I want to use a loan certificate because the Defendant continued to force him to use a loan certificate of 15 million won."

2. The judgment of this Court

A. On the contrary, Defendant 1 consistently denies the above facts charged, Defendant 2 recognized all the above facts charged differently from the case where the deceased Nonindicted Party 1 (Death on December 19, 2004) was the Defendant. In addition, there are other evidence submitted by the prosecutor, such as Kim Mam, Nonindicted 3’s respective statements, communications (fact-finding) data, and written rulings.

B. The key issue of the instant case is whether the details of Defendant 1’s accusation and the testimony of Defendant 2 constitute a false accusation or perjury that Nonindicted Party 1 forced Defendant 1 to detain Defendant 1 and use a 15 million won loan certificate.

First, the direct evidence that corresponds to the above facts charged lies in the prosecutor's office and the court. However, as to the fact that the non-indicted 1 and the non-indicted 3 got to move to the office of the non-indicted 1 without the permission of the defendant 1, all the defendants stated to the same effect. The prosecutor did not prosecute this part of the prosecutor's complaint even though it is included in the contents of the non-indicted 1's testimony. The defendants' statements were recognized as well as the non-indicted 1's office from around 23:00 on May 5, 200 to 12:0 on the following day. Furthermore, it is difficult to conclude that the non-indicted 1 and the non-indicted 3 were to have the non-indicted 1 et al.'s testimony made by the non-indicted 1 and the non-indicted 2's prosecutor's office, and there is no doubt that the non-indicted 1 and the non-indicted 1 were to have the non-indicted 2's testimony made by the defendant 1 and the non-indicted 25's complaint.

Next, according to the notice of communications data submitted by the prosecutor as evidence and the judgment, when the Defendants entered the office of Nonindicted Party 1, Nonindicted Party 1’s statement at the prosecutor’s office and this court that Nonindicted Party 1 had been smoking in the apartment bed, was found to have been false, and the fact that Defendant 1 used a mobile phone several times for about one hour after Nonindicted Party 1 entered the office of Nonindicted Party 1, may also be acknowledged. However, this fact may be proven to undermine the credibility of Defendant 1’s statement, but it does not directly prove the facts charged in the instant case.

In addition, if the contents of the complaint are not a false fact but a mere exaggeration of the situation based on the fact, the crime of false accusation is not established. The whole purport of the witness's testimony is consistent with the objective fact and it is not a notarial act contrary to his memory, even if it is inconsistent with his memory, it cannot be a perjury. In addition, while the defendant was urged by Nonindicted 1 to go to the business place promised by Nonindicted 1, he was sent to his own house, and the defendant 1 was forced to go to his own house for about 12 hours, in light of the situation where the defendant 1 was forced to go to go to his own house. Even if the act of Nonindicted 1 does not constitute a crime of confinement under the Criminal Act, so long as the defendants' physical freedom is partly restricted, the defendants' act cannot be punished as a crime of false accusation or perjury.

Therefore, each of the above facts charged constitutes a case where there is no proof of crime, and thus, a judgment of innocence is rendered under the latter part of Article 325 of the

Judges Cho Jae-jin
