all appeals shall be dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are determined.

1. Examining the reasoning of Defendant A’s appeal in light of the evidence duly admitted by the first instance court and the lower court, it is reasonable to find Defendant A guilty of the facts charged against Defendant A on the grounds as indicated in the judgment below. The lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the violation of each Act on Election of Public Officials due to the provision of money or goods related to election campaign or election campaign, and the violation of political funds law, as otherwise alleged in the grounds of appeal.

2. Examining the reasoning of Defendant F’s appeal in light of the evidence duly adopted between the first instance court and the lower court’s first instance court on the grounds of the original judgment, the lower court’s judgment convicting Defendant F of the facts charged against Defendant F on the charge of public prosecution (excluding the portion not guilty) on the grounds as indicated in its judgment is justifiable. In this context, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine on each public official election due to the receipt of money and valuables related to the hearing failure or advance campaign and election campaign, as otherwise alleged in the grounds of appeal.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
