Text
All appeals are dismissed.
Reasons
1. Determination on each ground of appeal No. 1 by the requester for custody
In a case where a person subject to the review of custody files an appeal only against the part concerning the protective custody case in the appellate judgment, and waives the appeal against the part concerning the prosecuted case, the appellate judgment that found the person subject to the review of custody guilty of the facts charged with violating the rules of evidence, cannot be deemed as the grounds for appeal as to the protective custody case, on the grounds that it erred by the rules of evidence,
2. Judgment on the ground of appeal No. 1 by a public defender

If the evidence of the first instance court maintained by the court below is examined by comparing it with the records, it cannot be deemed that there was an error of violation of the rules of evidence or misapprehension of the legal principles as to the risk of re-offending, without making a proper deliberation as to the judgment of the court below which acknowledged the risk of re-offending as a person subject to protection, and therefore, there is no reason to
4. Determination as to the third ground for appeal by the requester for custody.
It is evident that there is no reason to discuss the purport that the protective custody subject is excessive to protective custody, because the protective custody subject falls under the requirements of each subparagraph of Article 5 of the Social Protection Act and the court should face the risk of recidivism.
5. Therefore, all appeals filed by the requester for the retrial are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
