For the reasons indicated in its holding, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that convicted the Defendant of the facts charged.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err 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 presumption of innocence, the presumption of non-guilty doctrine, and the principle of defense of the Defendant, thereby adversely affecting the conclusion of the judgment.

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