2. Determination
A. It is recognized that the Defendants led to the confession and reflect of the instant crime, that there was no record of punishment for the violation of the Attorney-at-Law Act, and that Defendant A deposited KRW 3 million for the victim.

C. Therefore, the Defendants’ above assertion is without merit.
