Defendant

Attorney Lee Won-hee (Korean)

Seoul High Court Decision 2020No1150 Decided October 29, 2020

January 14, 2021

The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

Examining the following circumstances: (a) the Defendant’s age, character and conduct, environment, relationship with the victim, motive, means, and consequence of the instant crime; and (b) the circumstances after the commission of the crime, etc., indicated in the records, the lower court’s sentence of imprisonment with prison labor for a period of 25 years is extremely unfair even when considering the circumstances asserted in the grounds of appeal

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
