Text
The judgment of the court below is reversed.
A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for one year.
57 days of detention before pronouncement of the judgment of the court below shall be included in the above sentence.
Reasons
1. Determination on the grounds for appeal for mistake of facts by the defendant and his defense counsel
The crime of fire prevention is a unit of time when the defendant left the object which is capable of burning independently by himself. According to the evidence cited by the court below, according to the circumstances stated in the judgment of the court below, the defendant's act of fire prevention was committed in a state of burning independently from the above building, and the defendant's act of fire prevention was committed in a state of burning independently from the above building unless damage is easily done by the above building. Thus, the defendant's act of fire prevention was committed in a state of burning independently from the above building. Thus, the judgment of the court below is erroneous in the misapprehension of legal principles, which affected the conclusion of the judgment, and there is a ground for appeal by the defendant's defense counsel as to this point.
2. Conclusion
Therefore, without examining the remaining grounds for appeal by the defendant, the judgment of the court below is reversed and it is again decided as follows.

Thus, it is cited as it is in accordance with Article 369 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
