The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental appellate briefs not timely filed).

Examining the evidence duly adopted and examined by the lower court and the first instance court, the lower court was justifiable to have found the Defendant guilty of violating the Punishment of Violences, etc. Act (Habitual Violence) among the facts charged in the instant case on the grounds stated in its reasoning.

There is no error of exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or misunderstanding the legal principles on the habituality of violence.

In addition, Article 2 (1) 3 of the Punishment of Violences, etc. Act is not in violation of the Constitution because it has considerably lost legitimacy and balance in the criminal system that should be prepared as a special criminal law, and therefore it cannot be deemed that the above provision of the Act is unconstitutional.

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.
