The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
The lower court found the Defendant guilty of the instant charges on the grounds indicated in its reasoning.
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 bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the threat of harm caused by intimidation.

Thus, in this case where a more minor sentence has been imposed on the defendant, the argument that the punishment is too unreasonable is not a legitimate
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
