Examining the evidence duly adopted and examined by the court below in light of the records, the court below's decision that the defendant was innocent on the ground that it is difficult to readily conclude that the evidence of this case alone, based on the judgment of the court below, had the intention to commit a crime of violating the Labor Standards Act, is just, and the court below did not submit any new evidence corresponding to the facts charged in this case, and therefore, it does not seem that the court below erred in the misapprehension of facts as alleged by the prosecutor, which affected the conclusion
