The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the record, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on deception in fraud.

Meanwhile, the prosecutor appealed to the entire part of the judgment of the court below against the Defendants, but the guilty part does not include the grounds for objection in the petition of appeal or the appellate brief.

2. As to the Defendants’ grounds of appeal, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment convicting the Defendants of the breach of trust among the charges charged.
