The fifties, charged with hitting the cheeks of an acquaintance and injuring the body with paralysis, were found innocent in court.

Today (6th), the 2nd sentence of the District Court of Jeju (Judge Chan-soo Jang) announced that he was acquitted of 53-year-old A accused of serious injuries.

In June 2018, Mr. A was known to have hit the left neck when a 40-year-old Mr. B, who had known, insults for the lost wages. However, Mr. B suffered severe injuries to the right arm and leg due to cerebral infarction, and Mr. A was accused of causing it.

Mr. A insisted that "there is no causal relationship between slapping and serious injuries", but the Medical Examination Board of the Korean Medical Association and a doctor who consulted Mr. B suggested that Mr. A's actions may be responsible for Mr. B's serious injury. The.


However, the court explained that in order to admit Mr. A's charges, he had to look at the causality of the result of slapped and serious injuries, as well as whether there was a'predictability'. It is important to determine whether Mr. A was able to predict whether Mr. B would suffer physical paralysis due to his actions. The court said that it was very rare for a stroke to show symptoms of cerebral infarction, and since such cases are not generally known, "It is difficult to predict that the evidence provided by the prosecution alone could cause serious injury when the defendant hit the victim." I judged.

In order for A's charges to be admitted, there must also be'intentionality' for serious injury. Although I thought the intentionality of general injuries, not serious injuries, could be admitted, Mr. A was accused of serious injuries, and was eventually convicted.

When the fact that the damage actually exists, but no one is punished, it is pointed out that the prosecution should have looked at these results and applied Mr. A's charges as an injury. Prosecutors say they are considering whether to appeal the change in charges and charges.
