The court below's assertion that Defendant 1 did not take a self-regulation measure against Defendant 1, and that Defendant 4's main case was so forced and that there was no possibility of expectation. However, the court below's assertion that the self-denunciation did not constitute a reason for discretionary mitigation, not a reason for discretionary mitigation, and that the court below did not recognize that the court below did not take a voluntary mitigation, and it did not err in the law, and the court below's assertion that Defendant 4's assertion was unfair sentencing (the court below's sentencing of the court of first instance is excessive in light of the circumstances in which the defendant's first instance court's decision on the defendant's punishment was judged reasonable in light of the borrower's name as the driver's number employed by the borrower, and it is clear that the defendant's assertion on the above defendant's punishment would result in an argument of unfair sentencing, and therefore, it cannot be said that there was a violation of a law in the original judgment and an omission of judgment.
