A 30-year-old passenger who was indicted on charges of assault related to the death of a 70-year-old taxi driver after a quarrel with a passenger who threw a coin was sentenced to prison and sentenced to prison.

Judge Jang Sung-wook, a judge in Incheon District Court 5, sentenced A (30) to imprisonment for one year in prison on charges of assault and obstruction of business on 26th.

Judge Chang said, "The defendant gave a deep insult to the elderly victim, for example, for the slightest reason that he did not like the tone." The victim felt psychological displeasure and stress, and no agreement was reached with the victim's survivors. "

"There is a risk of escaping more than the prison sentence," said Chang.

Mr. A, who was tried in a state of non-detention, was immediately arrested immediately after the sentencing.

After hearing the sentence, Mr. A cried out to the chief judge, "Do you have anything to say?" And could not say anything.

The prosecution has been punished four years in prison for A on the 19th.

A was arrested on charges of abusing and ranting coin to taxi driver B (70) in the underground parking lot of one apartment apartment in Guwol - dong, Namdong - gu, Incheon on December 8, 2008.

At the time, Mr. B was dropped from his unconscious mind during an argument with A because of a taxi fare problem, and then moved to a nearby hospital, but died in an hour after an acute myocardial infarction.

The police did not apply the crime of homicide and reported that there was no causal relationship between the act of throwing the coin and Mr. B's death.

The prosecution, which handed over the case, demanded a warrant for arrest warrants, saying that A was not guilty of the crime, but the court dismissed it as "there is no fear that the house is constant, and the evidence is destroyed or escaped."

This case was called "the death of a coin taxi knight" after the video of a car black box that Mr. A threw a coin to Mr. B and was revealed on the internet, and caused the displeasure of the netizen.
