All appeals filed by the prosecutor against the Defendants are dismissed.

In addition, Defendant A’s act of piling the body of an animal into front of the body can be seen as “an act of dumping waste” under Article 15(1)2 of the Water Quality and Airs Monopos Mos Mos Mos Mos Mos Mos Mos Mos Mos Mos Mos Mos Mos

However, the court below found the Defendants not guilty of the facts charged in this case. The court below erred by misapprehending the legal principles or by misapprehending the legal principles, which affected the conclusion of the judgment.

2. Determination

A. Examining the reasoning of the judgment below on the discharge of finished products maintaining animal nature by comparing it with records, the judgment of the court below is just and acceptable, and there is no error of misunderstanding of facts or of misunderstanding of legal principles as alleged by the prosecutor.

In that sense, the following circumstances are acknowledged by the evidence duly adopted and examined by the court below, namely, ① finished products maintaining the animal nature of Defendant B are likely to flow out from the storage tank to the public water area due to the failure to manipulate the previous driver, and ② animal nature of Defendant B.
