The Tribunal da Relação do Porto rejected the appeal against a two-year prison sentence imposed for a knife assault. The defendant argued against the penalty, but the court found the crime under Article 143(c) of the Penal Code sufficiently grave to warrant the custodial term. Consequently, the decision to deny the appeal was upheld unanimously.
