THE PETITION

Without disputing the qualification of my client's actions, I consider judicial acts regarding the imposition of punishment for the crime committed to be excessively harsh and unfair. When imposing the punishment, the court did not take into account such mitigating circumstances as the victim's statement.... about the actions taken to make amends for the guilt, which asked the court to apply a non-custodial sentence, sincere repentance, active assistance in solving the crime, cooperation with the investigation, the presence of a minor child, positive characteristics from the place of work and residence, as well as from the place of study.

According to Article 388 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the verdict of the court must be lawful and justified. At the same time, a sentence is recognized as lawful if it is passed in compliance with all the requirements of the law and on the basis of the law. A verdict is considered justified if it is made on the basis of a comprehensive and objective examination of the evidence presented to the court at a court hearing. In accordance with paragraphs 1, 5 of the Regulatory Resolution of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 4 dated June 25, 2015 "On certain issues of criminal punishment", "when imposing criminal punishment, courts should strictly observe the general principles of sentencing specified in art. 52 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, that is, to take into account the nature and degree of public danger of the crime, the identity of the perpetrator, including his behavior before and after the commission of the crime, circumstances mitigating and aggravating responsibility and punishment, as well as the impact of the imposed punishment on the correction of the convicted person,""when imposing punishment, the court must necessarily indicate in the verdict regarding each circumstances mitigating and aggravating the defendant's responsibility and punishment." According to paragraph 6 of the Regulatory Resolution of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 4 dated June 25, 2015 "On certain issues of criminal punishment", "if the sanction of the article of the Criminal Code for which a person is found guilty provides for alternative types of punishments, courts should discuss the possibility of imposing a less severe one, bearing in mind that in accordance with According to the second part of Article 52 of the Criminal Code, a more severe type of punishment is imposed only if a less severe type of punishment cannot achieve the goals of punishment." Contrary to the requirements of the law, the court, when sentencing K. Kozhamzharov, He did not take into account the requirements of Article 53 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which led to the imposition of unfair, excessively harsh punishment, while not applying an alternative type of punishment not related to imprisonment. In accordance with part 8 of the Normative Resolution of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 13 dated December 19, 2003 "On the practice of considering criminal cases on appeal", "taking into account the requirements of Part 1 of Article 424 of the CPC, the court of appeal, when considering a case on a complaint or protest, is obliged, within its competence, to check how comprehensively, fully and objectively the circumstances of the case have been investigated. in relation to each convicted person, the correctness of the qualification of the crime, the conformity of the punishment to the deed.

The severity of a criminal offense depends on the crime committed (Article 11 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan). In turn, the personality of the convicted person is characterized by: his age, gender, the form of guilt in committing a crime, the presence of a relapse, a dangerous relapse of crimes on his part, his mental state at the time of the crime, the stage of criminal activity, the type of complicity in the crime, circumstances aggravating or mitigating criminal liability and punishment. It is the combination of these factors that is taken into account by the court of appeal when determining to what extent the punishment imposed by the court of first instance corresponds to the severity of the crime and the personality of the convicted person, whether it is excessively mild or excessively harsh, that is, clearly unfair. The Judicial Board for Criminal Cases of the Almaty City Court did not pay due attention to this case, contrary to the requirements of the law obliging the higher authority to eliminate the violations and make up for the shortcomings, ignored the arguments of the defense set out in the appeal and duplicated the conclusions of the court of first instance, issued an unlawful ruling, finding no grounds to change the illegal and unjustified verdict of the district court.. According to ch. 24 of the Regulatory Resolution of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On the procedure for criminal proceedings in the Cassation instance" No. 5 dated June 29, 2017, "the grounds for revoking or changing the verdict are the circumstances specified in Article 433 of the CPC.
