All appeals are dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

1. According to the records on Defendant B’s grounds of appeal, the Defendant appealed against the judgment of the first instance, and asserted a mistake of facts, along with the grounds of appeal, as well as the grounds of unfair sentencing, but withdrawn the assertion of mistake of facts on the second trial of the lower court, and left only the grounds

In such a case, the argument that there is an error of mistake in the judgment of the court below shall not be a legitimate ground for appeal.

In addition, according to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing is allowed only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not less than ten years

In so doing, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of

Meanwhile, as seen earlier, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing is allowed only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not less than ten years is declared, and thus, the allegation that the amount of punishment is unreasonable cannot be a legitimate ground for appeal.

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