Attorney AM, GI, GJ, GK

Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the evidence duly admitted by the lower court and the first instance court, it is justifiable to reverse the first instance judgment convicting the Defendant on the ground that there was no evidence of crime regarding the distribution of documents by unlawful means, signature and seal for election campaign, and advance election campaign portion among the facts charged against the Defendant on the grounds stated in its reasoning, and to find the Defendant not guilty. In so doing, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, there were no errors by misapprehending the legal doctrine regarding conspiracy in co-principal

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