The appellate court dismissed the appeal against the first-instance verdict, ordering the case to be remanded for a retrial. The defendant argued that the lower court arbitrarily accepted evidence regarding the parking violation despite noting the sign was improperly marked. The court found the first-instance reasoning internally contradictory and failed to consider relevant evidence about the sign's condition, necessitating a new evaluation of the defendant's intent.
