The Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal against a first-instance conviction for intentional damage to property. The defendant argued that the court erred in finding guilt despite physical evidence suggesting the damaged boards were not moved by him. The court rejected this, stating that the free evaluation of evidence allows the lower court to rely on consistent witness testimony over uncorroborated physical observations.
