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 what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine on election campaign under the Act on the Election of Public Officials, or by misapprehending the bounds of free evaluation of evidence, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal.
In addition, the argument that the court below erred in the misapprehension of the legal principles as to the principle of non-existence of interest, is not a legitimate ground for appeal, as the defendant asserts that there was no error in the misapprehension of the legal principles as to the principle of non-existence of interest.
In addition, pursuant to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in the case where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment with or without prison labor for more than ten years is imposed, a final appeal may be filed on the grounds of unfair sentencing. Thus, the argument that the Defendant’s punishment is too unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for final appeal.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
