The judgment of the court below is reversed.

A. The defendant does not have any fact of priceing the victim.
Nevertheless, the court below found the defendant guilty of injury by misunderstanding the facts.
B. The sentence imposed by the lower court (one year and six months of imprisonment) is too unreasonable.
2. Determination

B. On the other hand, when it is deemed that there is no concern that a substantial disadvantage to the defendant's exercise of his/her right to defense may be inflicted on the defendant in light of the progress of the trial, the court may ex officio recognize facts constituting a crime different from the facts charged to the extent consistent
