The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Examining the evidence duly adopted and examined by the lower court and the first instance court, the lower court was justifiable to have determined that the instant facts charged was guilty on the grounds stated in its reasoning.
In so doing, there were no errors by exceeding the bounds of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal principles on determining the credibility of a victim’s statement.
In addition, according to Article 383 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not less than ten years is imposed, a final appeal shall be allowed on the grounds of unfair sentencing.
In this case where a more minor punishment is imposed against the defendant, the argument that the amount of punishment is unfair 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.
