Court acquits defendant for throwing fireworks at football match due to insufficient eyewitness evidence.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court acquitted the defendant, P. B., of throwing fireworks at a football match because the sole eyewitness testimony was deemed unreliable and insufficient. The prosecution argued the witness identified the defendant, but the defense highlighted that the witness likely misidentified the thrower due to the small size of the device and the witness's own admission of potential error. Consequently, the court found no sufficient data to justify suspicion of the crime under Article 17 § 1 point 1 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
