Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Examining the evidence duly adopted by the court of first instance, which maintained the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below was just in finding that all the facts charged of this case was guilty and that a single comprehensive crime was established on the grounds as stated in its reasoning. Contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, the court below did not err by misapprehending the legal principles as to the degree of proof and comprehensive crime in a criminal trial, beyond the bounds of the principle of free evaluation
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
