All appeals are dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.
1. As to the Defendant’s ground of appeal
In light of the records, the court below is justified in finding the defendant's confession statement at the prosecutor's office as evidence and finding the defendant guilty of robbery, injury, and robbery among the facts charged in this case by taking account of the statements and the adopted evidences of the court of first instance cited by the court below.
