Reasons
1. The sentence imposed by the court below (one year and eight months of imprisonment) is too unreasonable.
2. In a case where there is no change in the conditions of sentencing compared to the judgment of the first instance court, and the sentencing of the first instance court does not deviate from the reasonable scope of discretion, it is reasonable to respect it.
(see, e.g., Supreme Court en banc Decision 2015Do3260, Jul. 23, 2015). There is no new circumstance to change the sentence of the lower court in the trial. Considering that the reasons for sentencing as stated by the lower court are the Defendant’s age, character and conduct, records of the crime, motive or circumstance of the crime, and the circumstances after the crime, the sentence imposed by the lower court was conducted within the reasonable scope of discretion.
