The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Examining the evidence duly adopted and examined by the lower court and the first instance court, the lower court is justifiable to have found the Defendant guilty of violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes (Indecent Act by force in relation to relatives), the amendment of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes from January 8, 2011 to January 15, 2012, and there is no error of misapprehending the legal doctrine on the amendment of indictment.
In addition, the argument that the court below erred in violation of the principle of balanced criminal punishment and the principle of accountability in sentencing constitutes the argument of unfair sentencing.
However, 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 not less than ten years is imposed, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing
In this case where a more minor sentence is imposed against the defendant, the argument that the amount of punishment is unreasonable 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.
