The court convicted the defendant of drunk driving while violating prior lifetime and three-year driving bans, modifying the blood alcohol reading from multiple values to a single 0.88 mg/l figure. The judge imposed a ten-month prison sentence, a lifetime driving prohibition, and a 10,000 zloty fine based on the aggravated circumstances of recidivism. Although the defendant confessed and had no assets, the court deemed the punishment proportionate to the high degree of guilt and social harm caused.
