성폭력범죄의처벌등에관한특례법위반(업무상위력등에의한추행)

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

According to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only a case on which death penalty, imprisonment with or without prison labor for an indefinite term or for not less than ten years has been pronounced, an appeal may be filed on the ground that the judgment of the court below had influenced

Therefore, in this case where a more minor sentence is imposed on the defendant, the argument that the court below's decision on the selection of evidence and probative value or its factual basis is not a legitimate ground for appeal.

The issue of adopting the application for examination of evidence may not be examined when the court deems it unnecessary at the discretion of the court (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Do7947, Jan. 27, 2011). Thus, even if the court below rejected the application for on-site inspection of the defendant, it cannot be deemed unlawful.

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