Text
all appeals shall be dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are determined.
According to the record, the defendant appealed against the judgment of the court of first instance, and only asserted the unfair sentencing on the grounds of appeal. In such a case, the defendant's assertion that the judgment of the court of first instance was unlawful in misunderstanding the legal principles as to the establishment of the crime of death or injury in the course of the judgment of the court of first instance cannot be a legitimate ground for appeal.
In addition, considering the following circumstances, considering the Defendant’s age, character and conduct, intelligence and environment, relationship with the victim, the motive, means, and consequence of the instant crime, and the circumstances after the crime, etc., the sentence of imprisonment with prison labor for 11 years and 16 years against Defendant C cannot be deemed significantly unfair, even if considering the circumstances alleged in the grounds of appeal on the grounds of appeal, it cannot be said that the lower court sentenced Defendant B to imprisonment with prison labor for 11 years and 16 years against Defendant C.
Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
