The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
According to the records, the court below sentenced the defendant who was under detention without a defense counsel in this case, not a case which is not a requisite attorney-at-law. The court below did not err in violating the procedure for selecting a defense counsel or infringing the defendant's right of defense.
In addition, pursuant to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment with or without prison labor for not less than ten years is imposed, an appeal is permitted for the wrongful grounds for sentencing. Thus, the argument that the amount of punishment is unfair is not a legitimate ground for appeal in this case where a more minor sentence is imposed against the defendant.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
