Appeal court quarts sentence for drunk driving due to insufficient evidence of blood alcohol level.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appeal court quashed the first-instance judgment and remanded the case for retrial. The prosecution appealed because the lower court failed to establish the defendant's blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit. The court found the evidence insufficient to prove the statutory elements of the offense and therefore could not uphold the conviction.
