All appeals are dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of Defendant A’s written application for appeal not timely filed).
1. The lower court upheld the first instance judgment that found Defendant A guilty of the facts charged against Defendant A.
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning in light of the evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations as alleged in the grounds of appeal, exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation in violation of logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on joint principal offenders.
The grounds of appeal by Defendant A, which did not specify the facts charged or the S’s statement is inadmissible, is not legitimate grounds of appeal, since the above Defendant’s ground of appeal or the lower court did not consider it as the subject of judgment ex officio, is asserted only in the grounds of appeal.
2. Defendant B maintained the judgment of the first instance court that found Defendant B guilty of the facts charged against Defendant B.
The judgment below

3. The Defendants’ final appeal is dismissed in entirety as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
