”14 people killed in City Hall reverse driving disaster” Driver sentenced to 5 years in prison… Driving negligence (comprehensive)

However, the second trial court ruled that Mr. Cha’s actions amounted to an imaginary combination of committing multiple crimes with one act, and overturned the lower court’s decision and commuted the sentence to five years in prison.

Imaginary competition is a case where one act corresponds to multiple crimes, and the maximum punishment is 5 years in prison because the person is punished with the punishment determined by the most serious crime.

The Supreme Court found no error in the original judgment and confirmed it.
