All appeals are dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
1. The lower court found Defendant A guilty of the facts charged against Defendant A and did not focus on repeated crime.
Therefore, we cannot accept the allegation in the grounds of appeal that the lower court erred by misapprehending the legal doctrine on aggravation of repeated crime.
The argument that the lower court’s determination of sentencing contains an error of incomplete deliberation on basic facts for sentencing constitutes an allegation of unfair sentencing.
However, according to 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 not less than ten years is imposed, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing
Defendant
In this case where a minor sentence is imposed against A, the argument that the punishment is too unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for appeal.
2. As seen in the judgment on Defendant D’s grounds of appeal, only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment or imprisonment without prison labor for not less than ten years is imposed, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing is allowed.
Defendant
In this case where a minor sentence is imposed against D, the argument that the punishment is too unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for appeal.
