All appeals filed by the prosecutor against the Defendants are dismissed.
Reasons
Comprehensively taking account of the summary of the grounds for appeal (misunderstanding of facts and legal principles), the evidence submitted by the prosecutor, it is reasonable to see that the defendants' best practice constitutes an act that could cause harm to health and sanitation if not performed by the medical personnel. However, the court below rendered a judgment differently and acquitted the defendants. The court below erred by misapprehending the facts and misapprehending the legal principles.
Judgment
In the relevant legal principles, the recognition of facts constituting an offense ought to be based on strict evidence with probative value that leads a judge to have such a degree that is not likely to have a reasonable doubt. Therefore, in a case where the prosecutor’s proof does not sufficiently reach the extent that such conviction would lead to such conviction, even if there are suspicions of guilt, such as inconsistency with the defendant’s assertion or defense or uncomfortable dismissal, it should be determined in the interests of the defendant (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Do1487, Apr. 28, 2011). In addition, in light of the fact that one criminal appellate court has the character as a post-trial trial even after the fact that it has the nature as a follow-up trial and the spirit of substantial direct deliberation as prescribed in the Criminal Procedure Act, it is difficult for the first instance court to exclude a reasonable doubt after undergoing the examination of evidence, etc.
In a case where a not-guilty verdict is rendered on the facts charged, if it does not reach the extent that it can sufficiently resolve the reasonable doubt raised by the first instance trial even if the probability or doubt about some opposing facts may be raised as a result of the appellate trial’s examination, there is an error of mistake in the determination of facts in the first instance judgment, which lacks proof of crime solely
Clearly concluding that the facts charged are not guilty (see Supreme Court Decision 2015Do11428, Feb. 18, 2016). The lower court’s determination of the instant case is in full view of the facts and circumstances as stated in its reasoning, and in so doing, Defendant A’s case.
