The defendant's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal by the defendant;
A. The Defendant, on April 14, 2014, did not attach a false public notice stating that no public notice in the name of the council of occupants’ representatives was removed from the elevator, stating that “the Defendant was elected as the president and any construction works being promoted by the council of occupants’ representatives cannot be carried out” on April 15, 2014, and the said public notice is not false.
B. In light of the fact that the defendant is the primary offender and is an old age, the punishment of fine of KRW 500,000, which the court below sentenced, is too unreasonable.
2. Determination
A. According to the evidence duly adopted and examined by the court below, the defendant removed a written public notice in the name of the council of occupants' representatives informing of apartment painting construction on April 14, 2014, attached to the elevator on April 15, 2014 the public notice stating that "the defendant was elected to the apartment chairperson on the elevator on April 15, 2014 and is unable to carry out any construction work because the council of occupants' representatives is not organized," and the defendant was not elected to the council of occupants' representatives, and the tenant representative council of the apartment in which the defendant is residing is organized. Therefore, this part of the defendant's assertion is without merit.
B. In light of various circumstances, including the Defendant’s age, character and conduct, intelligence and environment, motive, means and consequence of the crime, and the circumstances after the crime, the sentence imposed by the lower court is appropriate, and it cannot be deemed that it is excessively unreasonable.
3. Therefore, the defendant's appeal is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act. It is so decided as per Disposition.
