1. As to Defendant A’s appeal, Defendant A did not submit a written reason for appeal within the submission period of the written reason for appeal, and Defendant A did not state the grounds for appeal in the petition of appeal.

2. Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment as to Defendant C and D’s grounds for appeal in light of the evidence duly admitted, the lower court’s determination that the charges against Defendant C and D were guilty on the grounds indicated in its reasoning is justifiable, and contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the public interest in the crime of defamation of reputation

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