On January 30th, JTBC's current affairs program 'Case Team Leader' said, "With the consent of the victim, in order to convey the violence of the perpetrator to the viewers, the original video of the security camera with only the face hidden was released", and released a video of about 1 minute.
On May 22nd, 2022, the defendant roundhouse kicked a man he had never met in the back of the head while he was waiting for an elevator in the lobby of an officetel (commercial complex) in Busan.
The man stomped on Mr. A's head repeatedly, and Mr. A completely lost consciousness. After that, the man stamped on his head a final time and disappeared.
In this incident, Mr. A suffered a traumatic cranial hemorrhage, brain damage, leg paralysis, and permanent disability that required treatment for more than eight weeks.
A police investigation found that the perpetrator was a former security company employee. After serving six years for robbery and bodily injury, the man ended up serving another two years for burglary, and was a former convict with multiple crimes.
Prosecutors charged the man with attempted murder and sentenced him to 20 years in prison. However, the court sentenced him to 12 years in prison in the first instance. The fact that the man admitted to most of the crimes was an advantage in extenuating the circumstances.
However, the man appealed, saying, "I eat more food here (in prison) than what my mother makes for me."
After the ruling, Mr. A posted a sentence on the website and revealed, "In May 2022, I was a victim of an attempted murder in Busan where a stranger led me to a blind spot and stepped on my head." Later, he appealed for harsher punishment, saying, "Even if the criminal comes out 12 years later, he'll still be in his 40s."
