Jeonbuk daily newspaper reporter arrested for hit-and-run in car accident

Based on the fact that the Gunsan Branch of the Jeonju District Public Prosecutors' Office arrested Iksan-based journalist Kim Mo-rae on suspicion of driving a car without a license and injuring three people and then fleeing (violating the Aggravated Punishment of Specified Crimes Act), Tong's lawyers would have focused on the core legal issues and defense strategy of the case. First, they would have closely examined the composition of the evidence for each charge (driving without a license, escape and resulting grievous bodily injury), the prosecution's reasons for detention, and whether the aggravated punishment requirements of the Act were met. In addition, the defense team would have prepared a defense logic and developed a strategy for separating criminal and civil liability throughout the criminal proceedings, including responding to the status of the detention (such as a pretrial hearing or bail request), the circumstances of the accident, identifying contradictions in the driver's physical evidence and witness statements, and considering the possibility of settlement with the victim. Based on the evidence collected, Tong would have focused on protecting the client's rights through legal arguments and procedural objections.
