All appeals are dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

1. Defendant case

A. In light of various circumstances, including the Defendant’s age, character and conduct, environment, relationship with the victim, motive, means and consequence of the crime, and circumstances after the crime, as to the grounds of appeal by the person against whom the attachment order was requested (hereinafter “defendant”), the lower court’s maintenance of the first instance judgment, which sentenced the Defendant to life imprisonment, cannot be deemed significantly unfair. Thus, the allegation in the grounds of appeal on this point is without merit.

B. As to the grounds of appeal by the prosecutor, even where a sentence of death penalty or imprisonment with or without prison labor for an indefinite term or for not less than ten years has been imposed on the defendant, a prosecutor cannot file an appeal on the grounds that the sentence is extremely weak by interpretation of Article 383 subparagraph

[See Supreme Court Decisions 2005Do1952, Sept. 15, 2005; 2010Do17829, Apr. 28, 201; 2010Do177, Apr. 28, 201; etc.] 2. As to the case of the claim for attachment order, insofar as the Defendant and the prosecutor filed an appeal regarding the case of the accused case, the appeal is deemed to have been filed regarding the case of the claim for attachment order.

However, without stating the grounds for appeal in the petition of appeal filed by the defendant and the prosecutor, there are no grounds for appeal as to this part.

3. Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
