The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
The lower court upheld the first instance judgment that convicted of the facts charged of the instant case.
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by misapprehending the legal doctrine on requirements and procedures for the arrest of flagrant offenders, vessel investigation, and rules on the exclusion of illegally collected evidence, as alleged in the grounds of appeal.
According to Article 383 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not less than ten years is declared, an appeal can be filed on the grounds of unfair sentencing.
Therefore, in this case where a more minor sentence is imposed against the defendant, the argument that the punishment is too unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for appeal.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
