Honorable Judge,

​

I am the wife of the defendant. We first met in 2021 and got married in Korea in 2022, during which time we have experienced many challenges together, including a fine for drunk driving. I received his promise not to repeat the same mistake, but after regaining his license, he is once again under investigation for the same offense.

​

He works in the meat distribution industry, where social drinking is common. After his first DUI, he consistently used taxis or drivers to return home. On the day he repeated the mistake, he was highly intoxicated and had requested a driver to take him home, but upon regaining consciousness, he found himself at his workplace, about 4-5 km from our home. He tried to call a taxi to go home, but with no drivers available, he ended up driving himself. While I admit he is clearly at fault and deserves to be punished, our family situation must also be considered.

​

In 2023, we are expecting our first child.

​

I am a foreigner, and my mother-in-law, after battling cancer, has no income. Without him, our family cannot survive.

​

It is true that he has committed a grave offense in a short period, but there will not be a third time. I will ensure he is properly educated, and he too wants to become a father his child would not be ashamed of.

​

Honorable Judge, our family’s livelihood depends on this. I humbly ask for your leniency.

Dear Honorable Judge,

I am the wife of the defendant.

I met him for the first time in 2021, and we got married in Korea in 2022. Since then, we have faced various challenges together, including fines for drunk driving. Although he promised never to repeat the same mistake, I was faced with the reality of him being investigated for the same offense after regaining his license.

He works in the livestock distribution industry, and while it is true that he used to frequently attend drinking gatherings, he always made sure to call a taxi or a designated driver to safely return home after his first DUI incident and thereafter.

On the day he made the same mistake again, he was heavily intoxicated. He clearly requested a ride home from a designated driver upon regaining consciousness. However, upon realizing that he had arrived at his workplace (approximately 4-5 km away from home) when he came to his senses, he attempted to call a taxi to go home but was unable to find one. Regrettably, he chose to drive. Although he is my husband, this is an undeniable offense, and he must face the consequences.

However, our family welcomed our first child in 2023.

I am a foreigner, and my mother-in-law has no income after battling cancer. Without him, our family cannot sustain itself.

It is true that he committed a serious offense in a short period of time. However, there will never be a third occurrence. I will ensure to educate him thoroughly, and he also expressed his desire to become a father that his child can be proud of.

Dear Honorable Judge, the livelihood of our family is at stake.

I humbly request your leniency.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
