The prosecutor's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
Summary of Grounds for Appeal
In full view of the evidence consistent with this part of the facts of construction, we can fully recognize the fact that the defendant inflicted an injury on the victim in collaboration with B.

In a criminal trial on the assertion of mistake of facts and misapprehension of legal principles, the recognition of facts should be based on strict evidence with probative value, which makes a judge not to have any reasonable doubt.

Even if it does not reach the extent of sufficiently resolving the reasonable suspicion caused by the first instance trial, such circumstance alone alone does not lead to concluding that there was an error of misunderstanding of facts in the judgment of the first instance court that lack of proof of crime (see Supreme Court Decision 2015Do11428, Feb. 18, 2016). The lower court’s judgment in the instant case refers to the submission by the prosecutor in full view of the circumstances as indicated in its reasoning.
