Imposition of Judgment
June 15, 2017
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental appellate briefs not timely filed).
On the grounds indicated in its reasoning, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that acquitted all the charges of this case on the grounds that there was no proof of crime. Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the record, the lower court’s determination is justifiable. In so doing, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, there were no errors by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
