Court allows appeal to add a back-kick fact, rejecting multiple-kick claim due to lack of prior accusation.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court modified the first-instance judgment by adding a specific fact that the defendant kicked the victim in the back. The court rejected the prosecution's argument for multiple kicks because the private indictment only charged a single act. Consequently, the conviction for the charged offense was upheld, but the factual description was corrected to reflect the single, proven kick.

AI generatedArt. 217 § 1 kk; Art. 438 pkt 1 k.p.k.: A defendant cannot be convicted for acts not charged in the private indictment; the court must limit the description of the crime to the specific act alleged and proven.
