The appeal is dismissed.
The grounds for appeal are examined.
According to the records, the defendant appealed against the judgment of the first instance and asserted only unfair sentencing on the grounds of appeal.
In such a case, the argument that the lower court erred by misapprehending the legal doctrine cannot be a legitimate ground for appeal.
In addition, the argument that the court below erred by failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations on sentencing grounds and thereby infringing on the essential contents of the principle of balance of punishment or the principle of responsibility is ultimately an unfair argument in sentencing.
Therefore, under Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment with or without prison labor for more than ten years has been imposed, an appeal is permitted for the wrongful grounds for sentencing. As such, the argument that the determination of a sentence is unfair is not a legitimate ground for appeal in this case where a minor sentence has been imposed against the defendant.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
