Text
All appeals are dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Based on its reasoning, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that acquitted Defendants on the grounds that all of the facts charged in the instant case did not have evidence of crime. Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the records, the lower court’s aforementioned determination is justifiable. In so doing, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, there were no errors by misapprehending the legal doctrine on “the purpose of recognizing facts beyond the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules
Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
