The above fine shall not be paid by the defendant.

Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. The court below found the Defendant guilty of the charges of this case against the Defendant, even though the Defendant did not have any intention of unlawful acquisition of the instant machinery, by misapprehending the legal principles as to the intention of unlawful acquisition. The court below erred by misapprehending the legal principles as to the intention of unlawful acquisition, thereby adversely affecting the conclusion of the judgment.

B. The sentencing of the lower court (two years of suspended sentence in August) is too unreasonable.
