All appeals are dismissed.
Reasons
1. As to Defendant A’s appeal, the Defendant did not submit a statement of the grounds for appeal within the statutory period, and the petition of appeal does not indicate the grounds for appeal.
2. As to the grounds of appeal by Defendant B, we look at the fact-finding of the lower court as to the facts charged of this case.
However, the recognition of facts and the selection and evaluation of evidence conducted on the premise thereof are within the discretionary power of the fact-finding court unless it goes beyond the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence by violating logical and empirical rules.
In light of the records, in this case where it is not possible to find out that the facts established by the court below exceeded the above limit even after examining the reasoning of the judgment below, the above appeal is merely an criticism on the matters falling under the exclusive authority of the court below and thus cannot be accepted.
3. Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
