The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Examining the circumstances revealed in the records, such as the background leading up to each of the crimes in this case, the method of crime, the behavior of the defendant before and after the crime, and the circumstances after the crime, it is not recognized that the defendant had a mental and physical state at the time of each of the crimes in this case. Therefore, the judgment below did not recognize the mental and physical disorder
In addition, the argument that the lower court’s decision’s violation of the principle of responsibility is an unreasonable sentencing.
However, according to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing is allowed only when a death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not less than ten years
In this case where a more minor sentence is imposed against the defendant, the argument that the amount of punishment is unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for appeal.
In addition, the grounds for appeal by the defendant do not constitute legitimate grounds for appeal under Article 383 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
