Court acquits defendant of assault due to unresolved factual doubts favoring the accused under Polish law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court acquitted the defendant, J.D., of intentional injury against the victim, M.C., finding insufficient evidence to prove his specific actions caused the injury. While the defendant claimed he only took photos, the court noted that the victim's sister, E.G., was also present and involved in a struggle that could have caused the injury. Consequently, the court ruled that the remaining factual doubts regarding the exact cause of the injury could not be resolved and must be decided in favor of the accused.
