All appeals are dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
1. On the grounds of appeal by the prosecutor, the court below upheld the judgment of the court of first instance which acquitted the Defendant on the ground that the statute of limitations expired with respect to the frauds listed in the list of crimes Nos. 1 through 17, 19, and 34 among the facts charged in the instant case.
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and records, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on blanket crimes.
Although the prosecutor appealeds the entire judgment of the court below against the defendant, the prosecutor does not state in the petition of appeal or the appellate brief the grounds for objection to the conviction.
2. As to the Defendant’s grounds of appeal, the lower court convicted the Defendant of the facts charged in the instant case (excluding the dismissed part).
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err 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 fraud and the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act.
In addition, according to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not less than ten years is imposed, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing
In this case where a more minor sentence is imposed on the defendant, the argument that the punishment is too unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for appeal.
3. Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
