Reasons

A. The Defendant does not have embezzled the proceeds of public performance diskettes or embezzled the company’s funds.

In so determining, the lower court erred by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the principle of free evaluation.

The punishment sentenced by the court below (eight months of imprisonment) is too unreasonable.
