Gwangju High Court Decision 2015No172 Decided December 10, 2015

April 15, 2016

All appeals are dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the evidence duly admitted by the lower court, the lower court was justifiable to have convicted the Defendants of all the ancillary charges regarding taking the Defendants in breach of trust on the grounds stated in its reasoning. In so doing, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on co-principals,

Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
