The judgment of the court below is reversed.

A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for one year.

Summary of Grounds for Appeal

The punishment of the court below (long-term two years of imprisonment, short-term one year and two months) is too unreasonable.

BO, prior to the judgment on the grounds for appeal by the Defendant’s ex officio, the Defendant was sentenced to an irregular term by falling under “juvenile” as provided in Article 2 of the Juvenile Act at the time when the judgment of the lower court was rendered, but it is apparent that the Defendant was no more than 19 years old and less than 19 years old. As such, the lower court’s judgment that sentenced the Defendant to an irregular term of imprisonment was no longer maintained.

Therefore, the judgment of the court below is reversed pursuant to Article 364 (2) of the Criminal Procedure Act without examining the defendant's assertion of unfair sentencing, on the ground of the above ex officio reversal, and the judgment below is again decided as follows.

[Discied reasoning of the judgment below] Criminal facts and summary of evidence recognized by the court is identical to each corresponding column of the judgment below, and thus, they are quoted as it is in accordance with Article 369 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
