The judgment below

The guilty part against Defendant A shall be reversed.

Defendant

A Imprisonment with prison labor and fines of KRW 40,000,000.

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. Although Defendant A and B (i) committed a mistake of facts as to the acceptance of bribe by Defendant A and the offer of bribe by Defendant B, or by misapprehending the legal principles thereof, Defendant A received KRW 20 million from Defendant B, regardless of whether it was a bribe, the lower court erred by misapprehending the legal principles or convicted Defendant B of this part of the facts charged.

The court below found Defendant A guilty of this part of the facts by misapprehending the legal principles or by misapprehending the legal principles on the mistake of facts concerning Defendant A’s abandonment of his duties, although Defendant A did not arrest Defendant C for the investigation of organized crimes, it did not constitute a crime of abandonment of duties because it did not constitute a temporary postponement of duties, but constitutes a crime of abandonment of duties, although Defendant A did not have an intentional act of abandonment of duties.

Secondly, the lower court’s sentence of unreasonable sentencing (the Defendant A’s imprisonment for a year, additional collection of KRW 20 million, Defendant B’s suspended execution of imprisonment for a period of six months) is too unreasonable.

나. 검사 ⑴ 사실오인 ㈎ 원심은 피고인 C의 진술 중 일부에 신빙성이 없다는 이유로 C의 진술 전체의 신빙성을 배척하였고, 그 결과 피고인 C의 진술을 토대로 공소가 제기된 피고인 A의 일부 뇌물수수(피고인 C 관련 부분), 변호사법위반, 폭력행위등처벌에관한법률위반(직무유기) 및 피고인 C의 뇌물공여에 대하여 모두 무죄를 선고하였다.

㈏ 그러나 피고인 C의 진술 중 일부에 신빙성이 없다는 이유로 C의 진술 전체의 신빙성을 배척하는 것은 부당하고, 검사가 제출한 증거들(특히 피고인 C의 진술)을 종합하면, 피고인 A 및 피고인 C에 대한 이 부분 공소사실이 모두 인정된다.

㈐ 따라서 이 부분 원심판결에는 사실을 오인하여 판결에 영향을 미친 위법이 있다.

d. Improper sentencing.
