Judgment of the lower court
Busan District Court Decision 2012No4109 Decided October 10, 2014
Imposition of Judgment
April 12, 2018
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Based on its reasoning, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that acquitted all of the facts charged in the instant case on the grounds that there was no proof of crime. Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the relevant legal principles and records, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine on risk of substantial harm to the nation’s existence and security or democratic fundamental order, as otherwise alleged in the grounds of appeal.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
