The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
The judgment below
Examining the evidence duly adopted by the first instance court, which maintained the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below was just in finding the Defendant guilty of the facts charged of this case on the grounds as stated in its reasoning, and contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, there were no errors of misapprehending the legal principles as to possession in larceny, by exceeding the bounds of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules or by misapprehending the legal principles as to possession in larceny.
In addition, pursuant to Article 383 subparagraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act, an appeal may be filed only for a case on which death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment with or without prison labor for more than ten years has been imposed. Thus, in this case where a more minor sentence has been imposed against the defendant, the argument that the sentence is too unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for appeal.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
