Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Examining the evidence duly admitted by the first instance court, which maintained the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below was just in finding the Defendant guilty of the facts charged of this case on the grounds as stated in its reasoning. Contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, the court below did not properly conduct necessary deliberation and did not err by misapprehending the law of logic and experience and exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence, or by misapprehending the legal principles as to the grounds for excluding illegality in the crime of defamation. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per
