The prosecutor's appeal is dismissed.

Summary of Grounds for Appeal

사실오인(이유무죄 부분) 피해자는 수사기관에서 “피고인이 맥주잔으로 자신의 머리를 내리쳐 맥주잔이 깨지면서 머리가 찢어져 피가 많이 났다.”는 취지로 일관되게 진술하였던 점, 피해자는 이 사건으로 인해 머리 두 군데가 10바늘을 꿰매야 할 정도로 찢어지는 심각한 상처를 입은 점, E은 이 사건 이후 피고인이 피해 변제를 하겠다며 전화번호를 알려줘 피고인의 연락처를 알고 있었던 점, 플라스틱 접시, 물컵이 바닥에 깨져 있을 정도의 상황에서 맥주잔만 깨지지 않은 상태로 테이블 위에 그대로 있었다는 E의 진술은 납득하기 어려운 점 등을 종합해 보면, 피해자와 E의 원심 법정진술은 신빙성이 없다.

Nevertheless, the court below held that it is difficult to recognize that the defendant was at the time of the victim's head due to the beer balance on the premise that the credibility of the victim and E's statement in the court below was recognized. The court below erred by misunderstanding of facts through incomplete deliberation

The sentence of the lower court on unreasonable sentencing (fine 3 million won) is too unhued and unfair.

Judgment on the Prosecutor's misunderstanding of Facts

A. When the first instance court examines the credibility of a statement after the witness examination procedure was conducted, it is necessary to assess the credibility of the statement by taking into account all the circumstances that make it difficult to record in the witness examination protocol, including whether the content of the statement itself conforms to the rationality, logic, appearance, or rule of experience, or whether it conforms to other evidence, and whether it conforms to other evidence. The appearance and attitude of the witness who is attending the statement in the open court, and the penance of the statement, etc.

On the other hand, the appellate court's judgment on the credibility of the statement made by the witness of the first instance court is based on the records including the witness examination protocol, so the most important factor is when determining the credibility of the statement.
