The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the evidence duly admitted by the first instance court and the first instance court, the lower court is justifiable to have found the Defendant guilty of all the facts charged. In so doing, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the purpose of affecting election campaign and election in violation of the Public Official Election Act, defamation, and the existence of business subject to interference with business, etc.
In addition, pursuant to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for more than ten years has been imposed, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing is allowed, and thus, in this case where a fine has been imposed against the defendant, the argument that the punishment is too unreasonable
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
