From among the detention days prior to the pronouncement of the judgment of the court below, twenty days shall be included in the calculation of the above sentence; ten days shall be included in the calculation of the above sentence.
However, the execution of each of the above punishments shall be suspended for three years from the date of the final decision.
The prosecutor's appeal against the defendant 1 is dismissed.
Reasons
1. The gist of the prosecutor’s appeal shall be as follows:
The court below held that since Defendants conspired to do so from around May 3, 1971 to August 18 of the same year, the acts of developing farmland and its incidental facilities are about the 21,450 meters wide by using a sculpianian (hereinafter omitted) at Yangju-gun-gun-gun-gun-si-U.S.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.S.-U.-U.-U.-U.-U.-U.-U.-U.
2. First, the prosecutor's appeal part against the defendant 2 and 3 is examined.
According to the reasoning of the judgment below and the court below, it is hard for the defendants to find that the above construction work was carried out by the public prosecutor or the judicial police officer, and the records of the search report prepared by the judicial police officer on the above construction work, and the records of the investigation report on the construction of new burial grounds are as follows; Defendant 2, as the chief of the affairs of the foundation (name omitted) of Gyeonggi-do, who is in charge of the construction of new burial grounds and the construction of new burial grounds for the purpose of the construction of new burial grounds; Defendant 3, as the chief of the office or the office building of the public burial grounds for the purpose of the construction of new burial grounds and the construction of new burial grounds for the purpose of the construction of new burial grounds for the purpose of the construction of new burial grounds and the construction of new burial grounds for the purpose of the construction of new burial grounds for the purpose of the construction of new burial grounds and the construction of new burial grounds for the purpose of the construction of new burial grounds for the purpose of the construction of new burial grounds for the purpose of the construction of new burial grounds without permission.
Thus, although the so-called defendant 2 and 3's main case falls under Article 9 (1) 2 of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes, and Articles 7 (1) and 2 of the Forestry Products Control Act, the court below found the defendants' main case does not fall under the development of forest under Article 2 of the Forestry Products Control Act, or the defendants' mistake that their act does not constitute a crime. The court below found the defendants not guilty as to the defendants on the ground that there are justifiable grounds for misunderstanding that they do not constitute a crime, and there was an error of law by erroneous interpretation of the Forestry Products Control Act, or by erroneous determination of evidence to find the facts about the defendants' criminal intent. Thus, the prosecutor's appeal on this point is justified, and therefore, the part on the defendant 2 and 3 among the judgment below is not reversed.
Therefore, in accordance with Article 364(6) of the Criminal Procedure Act, the part against Defendant 2 and 3 among the judgment below is reversed, and a party member is decided again after pleading.
