Gwangju High Court ( Jeju) Decision 2012No86 Decided February 6, 2013

April 26, 2013

The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental appellate briefs not timely filed).

Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the evidence duly admitted by the lower court and relevant legal principles, it is justifiable for the lower court to have found the Defendant guilty of violating each of the Public Official Election Act due to publication of false facts and excessive disbursement of election expenses among the facts charged in the instant case on the grounds as stated in its reasoning. In so doing, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, the lower court did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
