Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the record, it is justifiable for the lower court to have acquitted all of the facts charged in this case on the grounds as indicated in its reasoning. In so doing, it did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence inconsistent with logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the violation of the Public Official Election Act due to distorted publication
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
