All appeals are dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental statements of grounds of appeal filed after the lapse of the period for submitting the grounds of appeal, and those of defendant F's statements of grounds of appeal are examined).
Examining the evidence duly adopted and examined by the lower court and the first instance court, the lower court, on the grounds indicated in its reasoning, found Defendant F guilty of the violation of the Act on the Control of Narcotics (excluding the part of a crime) among the facts charged in the instant case, and the violation of the Act on the Control of Narcotics, Etc. due to the purchase and sale of phiphonephones on December 24, 2014 among the facts charged in the instant case against Defendant A, and the violation of the Act on the Control of Narcotics, etc. due to the purchase and sale of phiphones on December 24, 2014, and the violation of the Act on the Control of Narcotics, etc. (fence) on the attached Table 1 to the judgment of the first instance.
In doing so, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the probative value of evidence.
In addition, 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 imposed, a final appeal shall be allowed on the grounds of unfair sentencing.
In this case where a more minor punishment is imposed against the Defendants, the allegation that the amount of punishment is unfair is not a legitimate ground for appeal.
Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
