The prosecutor's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. The main point of the grounds for appeal (legal scenarios) is the date on which the judgment of the court below became final and conclusive, which goes against the principle of prohibition against disadvantageous changes against the defendant, rather than the date on which the judgment becomes
2. Determination
A. According to the relevant legal principles, the Criminal Procedure Act only permits so-called re-adjudication that a request for re-adjudication may be made for the benefit of the person who has been rendered a final judgment of conviction and the final judgment dismissing an appeal or final judgment of final appeal (Articles 420 and 421(1)).
