The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental appellate briefs not timely filed).
According to the records, the defendant appealed against the judgment of the court of first instance and asserted only mental and physical disorder and unreasonable sentencing as the grounds for appeal.
In such a case, the argument that there is an error of mistake in the judgment of the court below shall not be a legitimate ground for appeal.
In addition, the court below's rejection of the defendant's argument about the mental disorder on the grounds of its stated reasoning is just, and there is no error of incomplete deliberation or misapprehension of legal principles as to the mental disorder.
In addition, even if examining the record, there is no error of law that could obstruct the court below's exercise of the defendant's right of defense.
Meanwhile, according to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for more than ten years is imposed, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing is allowed
In this case where a more minor sentence is imposed on the defendant, the argument that the punishment is too unreasonable 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.
