The court convicted defendant P.B. of assault under Article 158 of the Criminal Code, sentencing him to a fine and awarding compensation to the victim. Conversely, the court acquitted defendant Ł.R. because witness testimonies and surveillance footage failed to place him at the scene of the crime. The decision rests on the principle that criminal liability requires proof beyond reasonable doubt, which was absent for the second accused.
