Seoul Central District Court Decision 2014Do4834 Decided August 20, 2015

April 29, 2016

The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the evidence duly admitted, the lower court’s determination that the instant facts charged were guilty on the grounds stated in its reasoning is acceptable.

In particular, considering the fact that the first instance court directly heard the statements of victims and witnesses and recognized their credibility, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the law of logic and experience and exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on justifiable acts of Article 20 of the Criminal Act, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed by the assent of all participating Justices. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
