Text
All appeals are dismissed.
From among days of detention pending trial after appeal, 50 days shall be included in imprisonment.
Reasons
1. Defendant 1, 2, and the said Defendants’ grounds of appeal are also examined.
The gist of the grounds of appeal is that the sentencing of the court below against the above Defendants is excessive, and in this case where a sentence of less than 10 years is imposed against the defendants, the unfair sentencing decision cannot be a legitimate ground of appeal. Therefore, it is without merit.
2. We examine the grounds of appeal by the defendant 3 and his state appointed defense counsel together.
In full view of the evidence cited by the judgment of the court of first instance as cited by the court below, it is sufficiently sufficient to recognize a crime such as the time of original adjudication, and there is no error of misunderstanding of facts or misunderstanding of legal principles, and as long as the period of protective custody satisfies the requirements of protective custody, the court cannot reduce or exempt it at its discretion.
3. Therefore, all appeals are dismissed, and part of the number of days pending trial after the appeal is to be included in the imprisonment with prison labor. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating judges.
