All appeals by the defendant and the prosecutor are dismissed.
Reasons
1. The main reason for the appeal is that the lower court’s punishment (a year of imprisonment and a fine of 30 million won, and an additional collection) is too heavy or unfilled.
2. Determination
A. The sentencing guidelines established by the Sentencing Committee based on Articles 81-2 and 81-6 of the Act on the Organization of Courts for the Determination of Sentencing (hereinafter “Sentencing guidelines”) are “reasonable, concrete, and objective setting” through the “procedures prescribed by the Act” in order to realize the “fair, objective sentencing” and “public disclosure”. Judges shall respect the type of punishment selected and the period of sentence is determined (see Articles 81-2 through 81-12 of the Court Organization Act). In a case where a court intends to enter the grounds for sentencing in the written sentencing upon a judgment deviating from the sentencing guidelines, it shall enter the grounds in a way that it expresses the relevant sentencing in a reasonable and persuasive manner, taking into account the factors, effects, etc. of the sentencing guidelines (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Do7410, Dec. 9, 2010).
