Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 66 High Military Port252 delivered on June 16, 1966
Text
The guilty portion in the original judgment shall be reversed, and the case shall be remanded to the Army, High School, and Military Court.
Reasons
The prosecutor's grounds of appeal are examined.
The first instance court rendered a judgment that the defendant shall be punished by imprisonment with prison labor for 8 months and suspended a sentence, and only the defendant appealed against this decision. The first instance court rendered a judgment that the first instance court convicted the defendant, among the facts that the first instance court found guilty, the first instance court acquitted the defendant on the ground that there is no proof of crime, the first instance court acquitted the defendant on the ground that the facts of the first instance prosecution are not proven, and the first instance court reversed the judgment, and the fine of 6,00 won shall be punished by a fine of 6,00 won, and when the defendant fails to pay a fine, the court held that the defendant is confined
However, in a case where only the defendant has lodged an appeal against the judgment of the first instance, the second instance court shall not be sentenced to more severe punishment than that of the judgment of the first instance pursuant to Article 427 of the Military Court Law, and in this case, the sentence of the judgment of the first instance shall be deemed to fall under the sentence of more severe punishment than that of the judgment of the court below as referred to in Article 427 of the Military Court Law Association Act (see Supreme Court Decision 65Do1261, Apr. 6, 196). Therefore, the conviction part among the judgment of the first instance shall not be reversed.
It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating judges.
