The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
According to the records, the defendant appealed against the judgment of the court of first instance and asserted only unfair sentencing as the grounds for appeal.
In such a case, the argument that the lower court erred by misapprehending the legal doctrine cannot be a legitimate ground of appeal.
In addition, the argument that there is error of misapprehending the legal principles on sentencing is ultimately an unreasonable sentencing argument.
However, pursuant to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only a case on which death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment with or without prison labor for not less than ten years has been imposed may be appealed on the ground that the amount of punishment is extremely unreasonable. Thus, the above assertion in this case where the defendant was sentenced to a minor punishment is not a legitimate ground for
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
