A 20-year-old mother who suffocated her 17-day-old daughter to death with a futon... Reason why the sentence was reduced by 9 years by an appeals court = South Korea

A 20-year-old mother who was sentenced to 12 years in prison in the first trial for murdering her 17-day-old daughter has had her sentence significantly reduced to three years in prison on appeal.
On the 14th, the Daegu High Court ruled on charges of causing the death of her 17-day-old daughter (child
At the appeals court for Defendant A (20), who was charged with murder by abuse, the court overturned the original court's sentence of 12 years in prison and sentenced him to 3 years in prison.
The trial chamber felt that although defendant A was guilty of a serious crime, he felt anxious and depressed.
Considering that the crime was committed accidentally, the first trial judged the sentence to be too severe and decided to reduce the sentence. The trial chamber said, ``Looking at the circumstances before and after the crime, we also searched the internet for information on death by suffocation, etc.
"We searched child protection facilities and baby mailboxes and even considered leaving our daughter with them through consultation," he said, adding, "The fact that the weight of the futon on the victim was only about 330 grams suggests that the murder was intentional."
There is insufficient evidence.'' Although the prosecution changed the charge against defendant A from child abuse murder to infant murder, murder, and child abuse causing death, the trial chamber only accepted the charge of child abuse causing death.
Defendant A gave birth to a baby girl on January 16th this year at a university hospital in Daegu, and on February 2nd after being discharged from the hospital, she folded a thick winter blanket and placed it on her sleeping daughter's face and body. He was accused of suffocating his daughter to death.
He was put on trial. Although defendant A attempted to miscarry, she later gave birth, and the investigation revealed that she committed this crime because her daughter's father continued to neglect her and her daughter.
