Attorney Lee Ma-young, Ba-ju, Lee Chang-woo

On the grounds indicated in its reasoning, the lower court upheld the judgment of the first instance court that convicted the Defendant of the instant facts charged. Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by misapprehending the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the intentional act of violating the Public Official Election Act, conspiracy relation, awareness of illegality, and suspension

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