Reasons
The summary of the grounds for appeal by defense counsel is as follows: first, although the defendant was unable to identify things due to drinking at the time of the crime at the time of the crime at issue, although he was in the state of loss of his ability or lack of legal capacity, the court below erred by applying the above special law; second, the defendant was found guilty; second, the defendant was unaware of the accident at the time of the accident at the time of the accident at issue at issue at issue, and reported it to him; second, even if the defendant's act of the defendant was escape, the legislative purpose of Article 5-3 (1) of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes applies to the case where there is causation between the escape and the thought; and although the defendant's escape was not directly connected with the result of his thought, the court below erred by applying the above special law; third, the judgment of the court below is too unreasonable.
Therefore, according to the statement on the statement of Nonindicted Party 1 and 2 prepared by the prosecutor in the prosecutor's office and the court below as to the first ground for appeal, it is sufficient to recognize that the Defendant had drinking prior to the principal offense, but this does not lead to the mental or physical disability at the time of the crime. Thus, this ground for appeal cannot be accepted. The second ground for appeal is sufficient to find the facts that the Defendant escaped without relief measures, and according to the above evidence, it is sufficient to find the facts that the Defendant escaped without relief measures, and the time when the victim died after the escape under Article 5-3 (1) 1 of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes does not refer only to the case where the victim died after the escape without relief measures, but also to all the cases where the victim died after the death of the victim at the hospital after the arrest of the victim. Thus, this case's ground for appeal is without merit.
Furthermore, in light of the circumstances such as health team, Defendant’s age, character and conduct, environment, process of the principal offense, result, etc., the determination of the sentence against the Defendant is considered to be improper because the judgment of the court below is too unreasonable, and therefore, the appeal by the Defendant is reasonable in this regard. Therefore, the judgment of the court below cannot be reversed.
Therefore, according to Article 364(6) of the Criminal Procedure Act, the judgment of the court below shall be reversed and the members thereof shall be decided again.
