The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
For the reasons indicated in its holding, the lower court convicted the remainder of the facts charged of this case, excluding the acquittal portion.
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the establishment of a crime of interference with lien and duties.
The argument that the lower court’s failure to deliberate on the determination of sentencing constitutes an unfair determination of sentencing.
According to Article 383 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment with or without prison labor for not less than ten years is imposed, an appeal shall be allowed on the grounds of unfair sentencing.
In this case where a more minor sentence is imposed against the defendant, the argument that the punishment is too unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for appeal.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
