The Court of Appeal upheld the lower court's decision to reduce the defendant's sentence for resisting arrest to eight daily fines. The defendant argued that the original penalty was excessive given the circumstances, while the prosecution maintained that the initial assessment accurately reflected the severity of the obstruction. The court rejected the appeal because the evidence did not substantiate a claim that the original sentence was legally disproportionate or factually incorrect.
