Thus, if there is no such evidence, even if there is doubt as to the defendant's guilt, it shall be determined with the benefit of the defendant (see Supreme Court Decision 2005Do767, Apr. 15, 2005).
In light of the above legal principles and records, we affirm the fact-finding and judgment of the court below as just and there is no error of law such as misunderstanding of facts or misunderstanding of legal principles as alleged by the prosecutor in the judgment below. Thus, the prosecutor's above assertion
