In light of the records, the court below's findings of fact are just and there are no errors in the misapprehension of the logical rules and empirical rules, and there are no evidences to find that the above defendant and the defendant 1's statement in the prosecutor's office did not have any arbitracy or it was not made under a reliable condition, and there is no violation of the rules of evidence such as theory in the court below's decision, and it cannot be said that the above defendant 1's statement in the prosecutor's investigation protocol against the defendant 1 can be reinforced evidence for the confession of the above defendant 1.
