Of the facts charged in the instant case, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that convicted of violation of the Act on Promotion of the Use of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, Etc. (Defamation) by publicly alleged facts on March 5, 2016 and March 12, 2016.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations as alleged in the grounds of appeal, exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on omission of judgment or defamation.

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