Reasons

Summary of Grounds for Appeal

The punishment (six months of imprisonment and four months of imprisonment) imposed on the accused by the court below is too unreasonable.

Judgment

We examine ex officio prior to the judgment on the grounds for appeal by the defendant.

In the latter part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act, the term “a crime for which judgment to punish with imprisonment without prison labor or heavier punishment has become final and the crime committed before such judgment has become final and conclusive” shall be deemed concurrent crimes.

However, in light of the language, purpose of legislation, etc. of each of the above provisions, if a crime for which no judgment has yet become final and conclusive could not be judged concurrently with the crime for which judgment has already become final and conclusive, it is reasonable to interpret that the sentence shall not be imposed at the same time in consideration of equity and equality in the case of a judgment and that the sentence
