The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
The judgment below
Examining the evidence duly adopted by the first instance court, the lower court’s determination that the facts charged in this case were guilty on the grounds stated in its reasoning is justifiable, and contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, the lower court did not err by failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations, thereby violating logical and empirical rules, exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the obstruction of exercise of rights.
In addition, the argument that the court below erred in violating the principle of responsibility in sentencing or failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations on sentencing conditions is an unfair argument in sentencing.
However, pursuant to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment with or without prison labor for more than ten years has been imposed, an appeal is permitted on the grounds of unfair sentencing. Thus, in this case where a more minor sentence has been imposed against the defendant, the argument that the amount of punishment is unfair 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.
