All appeals are dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
For the reasons indicated in its holding, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that convicted all of the facts charged of this case.
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on joint principal offenders, profit-making purposes prescribed in Article 8-2(1) of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes,
In addition, according 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 is imposed, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing
In this case where the defendants were sentenced to a more minor punishment, there is an incomplete hearing on the grounds for sentencing.
The argument that the sentencing of a sentence is improper in violation of the principle of responsibility cannot be a legitimate ground for appeal.
Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
