The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
For the reasons indicated in its holding, the lower court convicted the Defendant of the charges.
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment 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 “a false fact” under Article 250(1) of the Election of Public Officials Act.
The assertion that there was an error of misapprehension of the legal principles as to “public order” as prescribed by the law applied to the judgment below and Article 250(1) of the Election of Public Officials Act is not a legitimate ground for appeal since the defendant asserts that there was no ground for appeal, or that the court below did not make it subject to a judgment ex officio.
B. In light of the relevant legal principles and the evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment as otherwise alleged in the grounds of appeal.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
