The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and records, the lower court was justifiable to reverse the judgment of the first instance that found all of the facts charged in the instant case guilty on the grounds that there was no proof of crime, and to render a not-guilty verdict. In so doing, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal principles regarding “statement of fact”

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