The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning in light of the evidence duly admitted by the court below, the court below is just in finding the defendant guilty of the facts charged in this case (excluding the part not guilty of the original trial) on the grounds as stated in its reasoning, and there is no violation of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules
Meanwhile, according to the records, the defendant appealed against the judgment of the court of first instance and asserted only mistake of facts and unreasonable sentencing as the grounds for appeal. Thus, the defendant's assertion that he was in a state of mental disorder at the time of the crime of this case cannot be a legitimate ground
In addition, there is an incomplete hearing on the sentencing conditions of the court below.
The argument that there is an error of law in violation of the principle of balanced punishment or the principle of responsibility is ultimately an allegation of unfair sentencing. According to Article 383 subparag. 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in the case on which death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not less than ten years has been imposed, an appeal on the ground of unfair sentencing is allowed. Thus, the argument that the amount of punishment is unfair is not a legitimate ground for appeal.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
