The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the record, it is justifiable for the lower court to reverse the first instance judgment convicting the charged facts of this case on the grounds that there is no proof of crime, and to render a not guilty verdict.

In contrast to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, there were no errors by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal principles on the crime of defamation.

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