The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The lower court, on the grounds indicated in its reasoning, found the Defendant guilty of forging private documents, uttering of falsified investigation documents, and fraud against victim O, AA, and E among the facts charged in the instant case.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err in its judgment by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal.

In addition, according to the records, while appealed from the judgment of the first instance, the defendant asserted only the misunderstanding of facts as to the forgery of private documents, the uttering of a falsified investigation document, and the fraud of victim O, AA, and E, as the grounds for appeal.

In this case, the argument that the judgment of the court below erred in the misapprehension of the legal principles as to the preparation of qualification-based private documents and the use of qualification-based private documents shall not be a legitimate ground for appeal.

Meanwhile, under Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for more than ten years is imposed, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing is allowed

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.
