The judgment of the court below is reversed.
Defendant shall be punished by a fine of KRW 300,000.
The above fine shall not be paid by the defendant.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. Even though the lower court rejected the allegation of innocence, such as denying proximate causal relation, the Defendant, without reason, did not state the judgment on the acquittal.
The court below erred in the misapprehension of legal principle.
B. Although there is no proximate causal relation between the Defendant’s mistake in violation of the signal signal and the instant accident, the judgment of the court below which found the Defendant guilty was erroneous in misconception of facts or in violation of the rules of evidence.
C. The lower court’s sentence of unreasonable sentencing (a fine of KRW 700,000) is too unreasonable.

(See Supreme Court Decision 2009Do293 Decided September 10, 2009, etc.). When the lower court sentenced the Defendant to a fine of KRW 700,000,00, the lower court specified the “criminal facts”, “a summary of evidence”, and “application of statutes” in the judgment, and the Defendant’s assertion of “a denial of a causal relationship, etc.” in the lower judgment is merely a mere denial of the constituent elements, and it cannot be said that the Defendant’s assertion of “a denial of a causal relationship, etc.,” which
This part of the defendant's assertion is without merit.
