1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. Although the Defendant (Definite) conspired with husband Q and forged a certificate of loan under the name of C (Representative E, hereinafter “C”) or N, the lower court found the Defendant guilty of the instant facts charged on a different premise, it erred by misapprehending the facts and adversely affecting the conclusion of the judgment.
B. Even though there is no change in circumstances in sentencing factors following the issuance of a summary order by the prosecutor (unfair punishment), the lower court sentenced a fine of KRW 2 million by reducing more than half of the fine amount of the summary order (five million won), and the above sentencing of the lower court is unfair as it is too unfasible.
2. We examine ex officio prior to the judgment on the grounds for appeal by the defendant and the prosecutor.
