The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental appellate briefs not timely filed).
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning in light of the evidence duly admitted by the lower court, the lower court’s determination that the Defendant was guilty of rape and confinement on April 15, 2013 among the facts charged in the instant case on the grounds stated in its reasoning is justifiable to reverse the judgment of the first instance court and to be convicted of the Defendant. In so doing, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence inconsistent with logical and empirical rules, failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations, thereby exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the determination
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
