On the other hand, the fact that the victim seems to have caused the occurrence of the instant case by provoking the trial cost without any particular reasons, and that the extent of the Defendant’s assault seems to be relatively minor is favorable.
In addition, the defendant's age, character and conduct, environment, family relationship, circumstances after the crime, and various conditions of sentencing specified in the arguments of this case shall be determined as ordered in comprehensive consideration.
The acquittal portion
1. Summary of the facts charged
The Defendant assaulted the victim as stated in the facts of the crime in the judgment of the lower court, and the head head was faced with the asphalt floor on November 13, 2013: around October 10, 2013: Around 00 convalescent hospitals located in Gwangju North-gu, Gwangju, caused the death of the victim due to brain damage.
2. Determination on the predictability
As a result of the so-called crime of death by assault, in addition to the causal relationship between the consequence of assault and death, there should be negligence, i.e., predictability of the result of death. The existence of such predictability should be strictly determined by taking into account specific circumstances, such as the degree of assault and the response of the victim. By expanding and interpreting the scope of predictability, Article 15(2) of the Criminal Act pointing out the purport of harmonizationing the principle of liability with respect to an aggravated crime as a result, thereby extending criminal punishment beyond the limit of liability for negligence should be damaged (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 90Do1596, Sept. 25, 190).
Examining the following circumstances that can be recognized through the evidence and pleading duly adopted and examined by this court in light of the aforementioned legal principles, it is difficult to view that the evidence presented by the prosecutor alone was sufficiently proven to the extent that the defendant could have predicted the death of the victim.
① At the time of the instant case, the Defendant was suffering from the sediment culatory culpitis through a sulke for about 75 years of age and over 30 years of age, and on January 8, 2014, around 5 months of the instant case, the Defendant received emergency culpary culpary and sulpary culpary culpary culpary culpary culpary culption (Evidence 1 and 2) upon an urgent culpary culpary culping culption. On the other hand, even though the victim was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the instant case, there was no evidence to deem that there was a special disease or special transfer with a male aged 18 years of age and older than the Defendant, even if there were such circumstances, it is difficult to view that the Defendant, who had no human exchange with the victim of ordinary c
② At the time of the Defendant’s assault, the witness C, who appeared in the situation, from the investigative agency to the instant court, had the victim take arms against the Defendant andnoyed, and the Defendant went beyond the Defendant’s unbrupt force to sing the victim in order to spread this. According to this, the degree of the Defendant’s assaulting the victim seems to have ordinarily been in a century to the general public. Therefore, even though the victim was under the influence of alcohol, it is very exceptional that the Defendant, who was 75 years of age, did not go beyond the other party and died on the floor of the head when the Defendant exercised the physical force above.
③ According to the statements and the images of the witness D’s statement in this Court, the victim seems to be faced with his head on the ground after going through or suffering from her own typology. However, the witness C, at the time of assault, appeared to be “at the time of the instant accident, at the time of the instant accident, he stated that the witness C was unable to take the fighting on the floor at the time of the instant accident. In light of this, it is probable that the Defendant, who was in the state of fighting with the victim, was in the state of spath and spathing, was unable to recognize that the victim was on the floor at the time of the instant accident. (In this court, the witness D thought that “the victim was on the front side of the instant accident, and the spathing would have been on the back of the accident scene, and that it would have been difficult to readily conclude that the witness D knew that there was any other witness on the spot even if the Defendant had known that there was an accident to prevent parking at the scene.”
If the defendant did not recognize the existence of a different from the other on the floor, it is reasonable to view that at the time of the assault, the victim was unable to expect that the victim followed the other on the floor or was faced with the head on the ground, and that the victim was also faced with the head on the ground (for the same reason, there is no predictability about the result of the bodily injury resulting from assault included in the above facts charged).
3. Conclusion
Thus, the facts charged of this case should be pronounced not guilty under the latter part of Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act because there is no proof of crime. However, as long as the defendant is found guilty of assault as stated in the above facts charged, this part of the facts charged shall not be
