The judgment below

According to its reasoning, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that acquitted the Defendant on the ground that there was no evidence of crime as to the charge of defamation (excluding the part concerning defamation) of March 29, 2013 among the facts charged in the instant case and defamation of April 1, 2013.

The judgment below

In light of the records, the above determination by the court below is acceptable. In so doing, the court below did not err 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 “statement of facts” under Article 307(1) of the Criminal Act and the “statement of facts”

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