All appeals filed by the defendant and prosecutor are dismissed.

Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. Defendant 1) Although there is no credibility of the victim’s statement that the Defendant did not inform the victim of the content of intimidation, and that the Defendant was threatened by the Defendant, the lower court found the Defendant guilty of the facts charged, thereby adversely affecting the conclusion of the judgment by misunderstanding the facts. (2) The sentence of the lower court (one hundred months of imprisonment and two years of suspended execution) is too unreasonable.

B. The Prosecutor’s sentence of imprisonment (ten months of imprisonment, two years of suspended execution) is too unhued and unreasonable.

2. Determination

A.

The defendant's assertion of mistake is without merit.

(b) the defendant;
