``Suffering from guilt''...Man who indiscriminately assaulted a woman in her 20s appeals for justice = South Korea

A man in his 20s who indiscriminately assaulted a part-time convenience store clerk because she had short hair has appealed for justice. On the 5th, the Changwon District Court indicted him on charges such as causing special bodily harm.
A final trial was held for defendant A, a man in his 20s. At around 12:10 a.m. on November 4 last year, defendant A was a female part-time clerk in her 20s at a convenience store in Jinju, Gyeongnam.
He was put on trial on charges of assaulting Mr. C, a male customer in his 50s who tried to stop him. At that time, Defendant A said to Mr. B, ``When I see a woman with short hair, I am a feminist.
It is understood that he assaulted her by saying, ``It's ``Men's Solidarity'' and you're a feminist, so you can get beaten up.'' Also, to Mr. C who was sitting next to me, I said, ``Why doesn't she take sides with men? That woman is a feminist.''
He continued the assault. It was reported that Mr. C, who tried to help defendant A, suffered fractures to his shoulder, forehead, nose, and right hand, and had cuts to his ear, neck, and eye, and underwent surgery.
However, defendant A has been making claims since the time of the investigation, such as, ``I was too drunk to remember anything.I suffer from schizophrenia.''
In court that day, Defendant A's lawyer stated, ``The defendant is a first-time offender, has acknowledged all the facts of the prosecution, and is remorseful.'' He added, ``The defendant committed the crime in a state of mental deterioration and is in need of therapeutic care. Yes, sick
I want him to be able to receive treatment," he said, pleading for good treatment. Defendant A also said in his final statement, ``I am sorry for committing the crime of heinous assault.I am currently suffering from resentment, regret, and guilt.I will do my best to recover from the damage.''
I will do my best and live the rest of my life reflecting on it." Meanwhile, the prosecutor's office said, ``Although this is the defendant's first offense, he committed an abnormal crime that caused the victim to suffer,'' and requested that he be sentenced to five years in prison.
I requested. Defendant A's sentencing hearing is scheduled to be held on the 9th of next month.
