For the reasons indicated in its reasoning, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that acquitted the charged facts of this case on the ground that there was no proof of crime.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the record, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine regarding defamation or by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, as alleged in the grounds of appeal.

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