Reasons
As to the ground of appeal by an attorney Park Jong-tae on behalf of prosecutor
(1) According to the facts established by the original judgment, the defendant created and temporarily lent two promissory notes with the addressee in blank, without regard to money transaction, etc. on February 4, 1968 and 28 of the same month, and he transferred the payment date to the non-indicted 100 on July 6, 1968. Thus, the transfer is only effective after the expiration of the period for the protest for refusal of payment, and there is no right to claim the payment of the promissory notes against the defendant as the issuer, and the above white loan is also a legal principle without the right to claim the payment of the promissory notes against the defendant. Therefore, even if the defendant lost the above promissory notes and received the judgment of nullification, it cannot be deemed that he obtained pecuniary benefits by removing the obligation of the promissory notes, and there is no proof of a crime, and there is no violation of law in the original judgment that acquitted the defendant.
(2) The determination of the evidence is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the fact-finding court, and the record of the case is not recognized as being against the rules of evidence in the original judgment in the case of the court below, and it cannot be a legitimate ground for appeal in this case.
All arguments are groundless.
Therefore, according to Article 390 of the Criminal Procedure Act, it is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
