For the reasons indicated in its reasoning, the lower court reversed the first instance judgment that found the Defendant guilty on the facts charged of this case, and sentenced the Defendant not guilty.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and records, the lower court did not exhaust all necessary deliberations in its judgment, but did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the establishment of a crime of violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (or a violation of the principle of free evaluation) or a violation of the principle of trial-oriented and direct deliberation.

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