The client stole a luxury purse belonging to another member from a cabinet in the men's locker room at a gym.
While chatting online to sell it to Carrot Market, a second-hand goods trading application, the client presented an acquaintance's national ID card in his possession as his own, and was investigated for theft and official misconduct. He was investigated for theft and official misconduct.
Issues in the case
The client was a senior in high school and was in the midst of a crucial time in his life as he was about to enter college, so his most important goal was to stay "criminal free." He wanted to pursue a deferred disposition, but the investigating officer was able to present specific circumstances that warranted a deferred disposition, and the case was dismissed at the police level with a request for summary judgment, which allowed the case to be closed without even appearing on the police record.
Assistance from Ongang
Our lawyers attended the suspect interview and told the investigator in charge that the client, a third-year high school student, was willing to actively explain his situation and the circumstances of the incident, and that he was willing to settle with the victim. At the same time, our lawyers guided the client on how to make a statement before the suspect interview, attended the suspect interview and showed the client's reflection, and reached an amicable settlement with the victim after the investigation.
After submitting the defense opinion to the investigative agency, which reflected the normal data in favor of the client, the police referred the case to the summary judgment court, reflecting the circumstances of the client, who was a high school student, and after an internal meeting of the police, the case was sent to the summary judgment court.
The client was fined 100,000 won fineand, most importantly, no charges were entered in his "investigative record" (a deferred prosecution would have been entered in his "investigative record"). Ultimately, the client was able to obtain a deferred prosecution, which is a lower Deferred Sentence Dispositionthan a deferred disposition.
