The judgment of the court below is reversed.
A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than eight months.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. The punishment sentenced by the lower court (eight months of imprisonment) is too unreasonable.
B. The above sentence imposed by the prosecutor by the court below is too uneasible and unfair.
2. We examine ex officio the grounds for appeal prior to the judgment ex officio.
In light of the language, legislative intent, etc. of the latter part of Article 37 and Article 39(1) of the Criminal Act, if a crime for which judgment has not yet become final and conclusive cannot be judged concurrently with the crime for which judgment has already become final and conclusive, the relationship of concurrent crimes under the latter part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act cannot be established, and it is reasonable to interpret that the sentence shall not be imposed or the sentence shall not be mitigated or remitted in consideration of equity with

Therefore, the punishment cannot be imposed, or the punishment may not be mitigated or remitted, taking into account the equity between the crimes of the second criminal conviction and the crimes
Nevertheless, the court below determined the punishment of this case in consideration of equity with the sentencing expected to be judged at the same time when the crime of this case was committed, which did not constitute a concurrent crime under the latter part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act.
