Based on its stated reasoning, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that acquitted the charged facts of this case on the grounds that there is no proof of crime.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the record, 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 physical abuse in the crime of violating the Child Welfare Act (child abuse).

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