Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. Defendants
The punishment of the court below (Defendant 1: imprisonment of March of the first instance court, one year of the suspended sentence, two years of the suspended sentence, two years of the community service work, 160 hours of the second instance court, 2 years and six months of the imprisonment of the second instance court, Defendant 3: imprisonment of the first instance court, 1 year of the suspended sentence, 2 years of the suspended sentence, 160 hours of the community service work, and 5 hours of the accused: imprisonment of the first instance court, 1 year of the suspended sentence, 2 years of the suspended sentence, 160 hours of the probation, 160 hours of the community service work) is too unreasonable.
(b) Prosecutors;
Each punishment sentenced by the court below to Defendant 2 and 3 is unfair because it is too unhued, and it is necessary to additionally collect 25 million won criminal proceeds from Defendant 3.
2. Determination
A. Determination on Defendant 1 and 2
Before the judgment on the assertion of unfair sentencing as to Defendant 2 by the above Defendants and the prosecutor, this Court tried by combining the appeals cases against each of the above Defendants with each of the judgment below, and each of the offenses at the time of original trial is in concurrent crimes under the former part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act, and shall be sentenced to one sentence within the scope of punishment imposed by concurrent crimes under Article 38(1) of the Criminal Act. As such, among the judgment of the court below of first and third, the part against Defendant 1 and the part against Defendant 2, among the judgment of the court below of second, are no longer maintained.
B. Judgment on Defendant 3
1) The act of running an illegal game room is highly harmful to the general public by encouraging excessive speculative spirit to harm sound labor, and thus there is a need for strict punishment. The fact that the degree of participation in the game room is important by actually operating the game room, etc., are disadvantageous to the defendant, but it seems that the defendant committed a serious violation against his own mistake, and that he is detained for about six months up to now, and there is no specific criminal power except for the crime of simple gambling, and there is no specific criminal power, as it is sentenced once a fine due to the crime of simple gambling, the defendant contributes the amount of money equivalent to about 21 million won with an indication of his mistake to the Green field Welfare Center and the Green field of goods, as well as the amount of money equivalent to about 21 million won as the defendant's age, character and behavior, environment, family relationship, the motive and background of the crime, the means and consequence of the crime, the circumstances after the crime, etc., the prosecutor's assertion on unfair sentencing is somewhat unreasonable, and there is no reason to deem the defendant's assertion on unfair sentencing.
2) Although the prosecutor asserts that the criminal proceeds should be collected from the defendant from the defendant, the collection of the criminal proceeds by the defendant should be governed by the Act on Regulation and Punishment of Criminal Proceeds Concealment. Article 8 of the above Act is a discretionary provision of confiscation and the amount of criminal proceeds calculated by the prosecutor is merely a trend, and it cannot be readily concluded that the above amount is the criminal proceeds amount of the defendant, and thus, this part of the prosecutor's assertion is without merit.
C. Determination on Defendant 4, 5, and 6
In the case of Defendant 5 and 6, the degree of participation in the crime is not much significant by managing the business of the game room, Defendant 4 was a so-called head of the game room business, and there is a high degree of contribution to the game room business as the head of the game room business, illegal game room is highly harmful to the society by encouraging excessive speculative spirit to the general public, and undermining the awareness of sound labor. Defendant 5 had the record of punishment for the same kind of crime. In full view of the defendants' age, character and conduct, environment, motive and circumstance of the crime of this case, and all of the sentencing conditions as shown in the arguments of this case, such as the crime of this case, it cannot be deemed unfair that the court below's punishment against the above defendants is too excessive and unfair. Thus, the above defendants'
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the part against Defendant 1 among the judgment of the court below of first, third, and second, as well as the part against Defendant 2's guilty part of the judgment of the court below, since there exist the above reasons for ex officio reversal, it shall be reversed pursuant to Article 364 (2) of the Criminal Procedure Act without examining the arguments of Defendant 1 and 2 and the prosecutor's judgment as to Defendant 2, and it shall be judged again as follows. Since Defendant 3's appeal is reasonable, the part against Defendant 3 among the judgment of the court below of second under Article 364 (2) of the Criminal Procedure Act shall be reversed, and the appeal against Defendant 4, 5, and 6 shall be reversed, and it shall be decided again after the pleading, and it shall be decided as follows. Since the appeal against Defendant 4, 5, and 6 shall
