The prosecutor's appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

1. The summary of the grounds for appeal (definite assertion) stated to the effect that the defendant under investigation by the police immediately after the traffic accident in this case made a statement to the police officer F to the effect that he made a confession of drunk driving, and the above statement was made under particularly reliable circumstances, and the F’s legal statement, the contents of which are the confession of the defendant, is a valuable evidence of the facts charged

However, considering the Defendant’s degree of drinking at the time, the details of the Defendant’s statement on
