The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

Even in cases where a sentence of death penalty, imprisonment with or without prison labor for an indefinite term or for not less than ten years has been imposed on the defendant, a prosecutor under the interpretation of Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act shall not claim as the ground of appeal that the amount of the sentence of the court below is less than that of the defendant, or that there was an error in violation of

(See Supreme Court Decisions 2005Do1952 Decided September 15, 2005, 2010Do17829, 2010Do177 Decided April 28, 201, and Supreme Court Decision 2012Do1347 Decided January 16, 201, etc.). Therefore, in this case where the lower court sentenced the Defendant to imprisonment for life, it is extremely unfair that the amount of the sentence imposed by the lower court is too unreasonable.

The grounds of appeal by the prosecutor, such as violation of the rules of evidence in the recognition of facts on the premise of sentencing, shall not be accepted as contrary to the Supreme Court precedents.

In addition, it is not necessary to change such Supreme Court precedents.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
