A. We examine ex officio prior to determining the grounds for appeal against Defendant A by the public prosecutor ex officio with respect to Defendant A.

Of the facts charged in the instant case, the facts pertaining to Defendant A are as follows: “Defendant A assaulted Victim E and G jointly with Defendant B,” and the crime of violation of the Punishment of Violences, etc. Act (joint assault) is established for each victim.
