'I'll Show You Obstruction of Business'... Repeat Violence, Drugs, and Drunken Disorderly 50s Woman Sentenced to Prison in Appeal Trial

[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] A woman in her 50s with multiple past convictions for violence and drug offenses was sentenced to prison again in the appellate court for repeatedly visiting a restaurant and causing drunken disturbances.

The Criminal Division 1 of the Chuncheon Branch of the Seoul High Court (Chief Judge Park Jae-woo) announced on the 28th that "A (50, female), who was indicted on charges including retaliatory threats under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes, was sentenced to 10 months in prison as in the original trial."

The appellate court stated, "Despite having a history of multiple criminal punishments for various violent crimes and drug offenses, the defendant committed the crime again, making it necessary to impose a prison sentence."

Previously, the first trial court sentenced her to prison, stating, "She had repeatedly caused drunken disturbances and harassed the victim or made business operations difficult. After the crime, the victim suffered considerable mental distress and inconvenience, such as being unable to properly operate evening business hours due to fear of retaliation."

According to police investigations, the defendant A visited a restaurant in Chuncheon last March and verbally abused B (55, female) with severe insults such as "I will show you what obstruction of business is" and "I will gouge out your eyes."

Although A was sent home by the police who responded to the report, she returned to B's restaurant and threatened, "Did you think I would go to jail? Let's see this through to the end."

It was investigated that A committed the crime out of resentment after being sued by B for insult and obstruction of business.
