All appeals are dismissed.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

1. The lower court affirmed the first instance judgment that found Defendant A and B guilty of the facts charged against Defendant A and B on the grounds as 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 failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations and exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules.

The argument that there is an error of law in the misapprehension of legal principles as to a legitimate act or self-help in the judgment of the court below is not a legitimate ground for appeal, since Defendant A and B asserted that they were the grounds for appeal, or that they were not subject to an ex officio decision by the court below.

2. The lower court upheld the first instance judgment convicting Defendant C of the facts charged, on the grounds as 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 political party acts or wording.

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