Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the record, the lower court is justifiable to have determined that there was no evidence of crime as to the conjunctive facts charged in the revised charges of this case, and that the lower court acquitted the Defendant on the grounds of its reasoning. In so doing, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on election campaign for
Meanwhile, the prosecutor appealed to the acquittal portion of the judgment of the court below as to the primary facts charged of this case, but did not state the grounds for objection to the petition of appeal or the appellate brief.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
