정보통신망이용촉진및정보보호등에관한법률위반(명예훼손)

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The lower court upheld the first instance judgment convicting all of the facts charged of the instant case on the ground that the Defendant posted a letter like the facts charged in the judgment with the intent to defame the victim.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the grounds for excluding illegality under Article 310 of the Criminal Act.

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