All appeals by the Defendants are dismissed.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. misunderstanding of facts and misunderstanding of legal principles (Defendant B) did not refer to the method of kidnapping to D with the intention of actually gathering robbery, but only requested money by considering D as refer to the plan of kidnapping due to a storm.

B. The lower court’s sentence (Defendant A: Imprisonment with prison labor for 8 months and Defendant B: 10 months) is too unreasonable.
2. Determination
A. The court below rejected Defendant B’s assertion of mistake of facts and misapprehension of legal principles as to Defendant B’s assertion in the same manner as the grounds for appeal, and the court below rejected Defendant’s assertion in the “judgment on Defendant and Defense Counsel’s argument”.
Examining the judgment of the court below in comparison with records, the judgment of the court below is just and there is no error of law by misunderstanding facts or by misunderstanding the legal principles, which affected the conclusion of the judgment.
Therefore, Defendant B’s assertion of mistake and misapprehension of legal principles is without merit.
B.

(See Supreme Court en banc Decision 2015Do3260 Decided July 23, 2015). Even if the materials submitted in the trial at the trial, there is no significant change in the sentencing conditions compared to the original judgment, and comprehensively taking account of all the circumstances that form the conditions for sentencing as indicated in the records and pleadings in this case, the lower court’s sentencing is too unreasonable, and thus, cannot be deemed to have exceeded the reasonable scope of discretion.
