Examining the reasoning for Defendant A’s appeal in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly adopted as to the grounds of the original judgment, it is reasonable to determine that Defendant A’s appeal of this case against Defendant A constitutes a conviction of each of the two or more copies of the facts charged in the instant indictment against Defendant A for the same reason as indicated in the judgment of the lower court, and that each of the two or more copies of the facts charged against Defendant A was found guilty. In this context, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal principles on the degree of proof required for a criminal trial, the degree of judgment of bribe in the instant indictment, etc., as alleged in the grounds of appeal.

2.

It is reasonable to maintain the judgment of the court of first instance. In this regard, as otherwise alleged in the grounds of appeal, there were no errors of misapprehending the legal principles on the crime of receiving political funds or of misunderstanding the legal principles on the crime of receiving political funds, by violating the legal principles on the logic and experience, as alleged in the grounds of appeal.

3. As to the grounds of appeal by the public prosecutor

In light of the records, the court below’s aforementioned determination of the court below did not err by misapprehending the legal principles of logic and experience as alleged in the grounds of appeal.
