The appeals court also acquitted a man in his 30s who was handed over to the trial for chasing a woman returning home at dawn to the front door of the villa.

The reason was that the common parking lot on the first floor of the villa, which corresponds to the front of the common entrance, was not a separate space from the outside.



According to the court today (13th), the 8-1 Criminal Appeal of the Seoul Central District Court (Chief Judges Kim Ye-young, Jang Seong-hak, Jang Yoon-seon) acquitted A (33), who was charged with trespassing on the 17th of last month, as in the first trial. .



On August 28, 2020, Mr. A was handed over to trial on charges of running to the front of the common front door of Mr. B's residence on the 1st floor of Mr. B's residence after chasing Mr. B, a woman who was returning home around 3 a.m. on August 28, 2020.



It was investigated that Mr. A saw Mr. B in the alleyway near Mr. B's residence and followed Mr. B about 80 meters, and saw Mr. B entering the building and ran to the front of the common front door located inside the common parking lot.

During the trial process, the issue was whether entering the parking lot on the first floor of the piloti structure could be regarded as a crime of trespassing.



In the first trial, Mr. A's side argued, "The parking lot on the first floor of the multi-family villa with a piloti structure was open." I did.



In response, the first trial court acquitted the court, saying, "There is no facility to control access to the villa and there does not appear to be anyone monitoring it. It seems that it often happens that people can cross into the villa's parking space." I did.



The court of appeals also said, "Although (the villa) is divided by the shape of the adjacent road, the pavement, and the boundary stone, the boundary stone hardly protrudes, so the boundary can be easily crossed by normal walking. It is not enough to admit that he did it or started an act that contained a realistic risk."
