A 20-year-old man who was handed over to trial on charges of attempting to kill the person next door who told him to smoke outside the house was sentenced to heavy punishment.

On the 22nd, the 13th Criminal Department of the Daejeon District Court (Chief Judge Jang Min-kyung) sentenced A (20s) accused of attempted murder to five years in prison.

At around 1:40 p.m. on June 20 last year, A was smoking at his house in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, when he heard from B (40), who lives next door between the walls, saying, "I'm sorry, but please go out and smoke."

Outraged by this, A was indicted on charges of attempting to kill B by crossing the wall with a weapon.

A physical fight between A, who tried to wield a weapon, and B, who tried to stop A, took place for about 10 minutes, and when B, who held A's arms, resisted desperately, A ran away.

In the process, B, who had been bitten in the ear and shoulder, had to be treated at the hospital for 21 days.

When the trial began, A deposited 400,000 won in criminal charges, but the court did not reflect this as a favorable sentencing factor.

The court said, "We will not take into account the fact that the criminal deposit was made unilaterally against the victim's will because of favorable circumstances for sentencing," and pointed out, "Although the defendant only attempted to do so, the crime is not good and the illegality is heavy."

"After this incident, the victims' families are suffering from severe mental distress due to anxiety and fear and want severe punishment. The defendant did not make any serious efforts to be forgiven, he said, explaining the reason for the sentencing.
