A firefighter who injured himself in the process of suppressing a drunkard with his fists was sentenced to a fine in the appeals court.
On the 4th, the Gwangju High Court Jeonju Court First Criminal Division announced that it had upheld the court case sentenced to a fine of 2 million won in an appeal against Firefighter A (34), accused of injuries.
The judge explained: “It is admitted that the victim first swears while drunk and shakes his fist, but obviously it is wrong to treat the victim like a criminal.” He added: “The defendant is convicted of the crime and sentenced to the same sentence as the lower court.”
Mr. A was injured for 6 weeks, including a broken ankle, in the process of subduing Mr. B (born at 68, dead) who was drunk, abused and attempted to use violence near an elementary school in Sang-dong, Jeongeup-si at 7:40 pm on September 19, 2018. He was charged with inflicting
On the day of the incident, Mr. A was dispatched after receiving a report from Mr. B complaining of heart pain, and was overwhelmed when Mr. B, who was drunk, struck first with his fist.
At that time, Mr. B requested to be transferred to Chonbuk National University Hospital, which is an hour away, but Mr. A and the paramedics said, “I will take him to the nearest hospital” because there was no hospital. abnormality as a result of the examination. When Mr. B, angered by this, swears and threatens him, Mr. A reprimanded him by pushing him towards the parked cargo truck.
Initially, prosecutors determined that Mr. A’s actions were excessive and he was briefly charged with a fine of 1 million won. However, the ex officio court referred the case to trial and Mr. A requested a public participation trial.
In the trial that lasted more than 15 hours, the judge accepted the jury’s verdict and sentenced him to a fine of 2 million won. The judge said: “The causal relationship between Mr. A’s act and Mr. B’s fracture injury is considered to be recognized” and “If you combine various circumstances and the details and details of the assault at that time, it appears that the Mr. A’s conduct did not meet the requirements of legitimate defense. ” He explained.
Mr. B, who suffered from complications from diabetes, died in October last year apart from this incident.
On the other hand, voices of opposition have emerged as the fines were issued in the sentence of the appeal trial. On the 5th of the Cheong Wa Dae public petition bulletin board, a petition was posted saying, “Who is going to be a firefighter in that case?”
The petitioner said: “Rather, the drunk man threatened (the firefighters), for which a fine must be paid,” and asked the court: “Please try again.”
A short two-line petition has not been published, but it is being spread through social media and portal sites.
