In addition, the court below's decision to the purport that even if the defendants' act was mistaken for not being a crime under the law due to the reasons alleged in the above case, it cannot be justified to justify the above mistake as well as just a legal site. It also does not err in the misapprehension of legal principles, such as the theory of lawsuit (defense counsel's subordinate part, leap, Kim Jong-nam, and the tear-do), and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles, such as insufficient deliberation, and even if defendant 2 delivered the manufactured raw milk to a processing company permitted by the food processing business, as alleged in the above, it is not necessary to permit the manufacture of raw milk, and thus, it is not possible to accept the theory of lawsuit contrary to this, since the defendant 3 purchased it with the knowledge that the raw milk of the maintenance of this case was manufactured without permission, and sold it to the processing company permitted by the food processing business, and thus, it cannot be accepted (the defendant 3).

Therefore, all appeals by the Defendants are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
