The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The lower court found the Defendant guilty of the instant facts charged (excluding the part not guilty of the order) on the grounds indicated in its reasoning.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on joint principal offenders, the principle of trial on evidence, the principle of non-prosecution of public prosecution, and the principle of prohibition of double indictment.

The argument that the lower court failed to exhaust all necessary deliberations on the grounds for sentencing constitutes the allegation of unfair sentencing.

However, according to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not less than ten years is imposed, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing

In this case where a more minor sentence is imposed on the defendant, the argument that the punishment is too unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for appeal.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
